Putin’s grey eminence, Sergei Ivanov, could be making a comeback
Originally appeared at Russiafeed.com
There was great surprise in August of 2016, when Vladimir Putin’s longtime chief-of-staff and trusted KGB colleague, was removed from his post. He was replaced by the younger but relatively unknown Anton Vaino.
Ivanov was relegated to an apparent sinecure post, “Special representative for environment and transport issues.”
