Executive Government
Premier
Vladimir Putin
This man came out of nowhere in the last year. He was a KGB colonel when a brief suspention of Andropov catapulted him to the position of the General Secratary of the KGB. Andropov was re-instated after just a week, but Putin remained a high figure. He was taken from the KGB and put to work as a deputy Minister of Defence where he was one of the people responsible for the development of the plans for Australian and American invasions. When it came time to chose a Premier, Putin, who was a nobody a year ago, was the prime candidate who easily gain the nomination of the Czar.
Minister of Defence
Klement Voroshilov
An old and experienced military commander. He served in WWII, although with not as much distinction as some others. He turned to politics, and during Khruschev's time was one of the leading men in the Ministry of Defence. Putin chose his as a gesture towards the old wings of the politicians.
Minister of Foreign Affairs
Igor Ivanov
An unexpected move by Putin to replace Gromyko. The old communist was a good foreign minister, but Putin was interested in making a stand and showing that the Federalists are in control of the government, no the communists. Ivanov is a solid choice for minister, with many years of service. He is said to be more subtle than the forceful Gromyko.
Minister of Internal Affairs
Sergey Mironov
The ministry of internal affairs has a peculiar position. Officially they are the federal police, but unofficially that role is filled by the KGB, so more than anything Mironov is in charge of special operations and smaller-class police that KGB does not have time for.
Minister of Economic Development and Trade
Viktor Chernomyrdin
The leading economist in Russia. This man is the foundation of the Federal economyc program. He has a plan to bring together the Communist economy and an effective federal government.
Minister of Finances
Andrei Illarionov
This man is responsible for Russian economic trnsition towards Communism, keeping a steady monetary income, etc. He is a personal friend of Putin and that is probably why he was chosen over some other, more capable, economists.
Minister of Industry and Energy
Mikhail Kasyanov
The last of Putin's new economic team. Together with the other two this bright new economist is responsible for the supply of energy and the rebuilding of Russian industry. He is the mind behind the Perestroyka Project.
General Secretary of the KGB
Yuri Andropov
One of the few communists who kept their positions with the change in power. He is a loyal and honest agent of the government. Under his leadership the KGB has risen to become the greatest intelligence network in the world, and will remain so.
Secretary of the General Staff of the Military
Georgy Zhukov
The Russian military genious. He was responsible almost single handedly for the Russian strategy during WWII. Now getting old, but he is still serving the motherland to the best of his abilities.
