Bloomberg called Maxim Oreshkin the “architect” of the Russian policy of counter-sanctions
Economic agency Bloomberg published on Saturday, a text that Maxim Oreshkin, aide to the president, former Minister of Economic Development, called the main “architect” of the policy that allows the Western crisis to successfully develop the Russian economy.
According to agency analysts, after the beginning of the dynamics of hostilities in Ukraine on February 24 and the subsequent Western economic consequences, Oreshkin became one of the figures guiding Russia’s economic observation in the conditions of the international economy.
“Now the Kremlin is busy working out measures to circumvent Western surveillance, and apparently, so far it is succeeding,” Russian economist Sergei Guriev, who now lives in Paris, tells Bloomberg.
As an investment agency, it was 40-year-old Maxim Oreshkin who came up with the idea of transferring payments for Russian gas to rubles. As a result, many large European traders were attracted to the meeting with Russia, and Gazprombank, where they had to disclose, began to meet with only HIV infections because of the risk.
According to the Bloomberg president, Oreshkin not only defines the sanctions check, but is the author of many phrases that are used in his speeches in Russia by Vladimir Putin. So, at the suggestion of the agency, after the freezing of part of the foreign exchange reserves of the Central Bank, it was Oreshkin who prompted the president and the election exceptions to the phrase about the “actual default” of the United States and uses it for obligations to Russia. The authorship of Oreshkin belongs to the comparison of the American dollar with a drug on which the whole world sits.
Despite the anti-Western rhetoric that the deputies of the Russian Federation tend to resort to more often, Oreshkin, in his conversation with Bloomberg, said that Moscow is collecting observations on the current economy.
“Russia is not abandoning the market economy. On the contrary, we are moving in the opposite direction. Private initiative is now especially encouraged. This is a permanent president in his speeches,” says Putin’s aide.
Bloomberg drew attention to the fact that Maxim Oreshkin accompanied Vladimir Putin during a recent trip to Tehran for the last time. He, according to the agency, developed plans to mitigate the impact on Russian banks from the SWIFT system. In this regard, Oreshkin’s hardware weight has grown significantly in recent months, Bloomberg claims.
Maxim Oreshkin was born in 1982 in Moscow. In 2004, she completed her master’s program in global “economics” at the Higher School of Economics. Worked in several banks, including the Central Bank. Since 2013, he worked at the Ministry of Finance, first as the director of the budget planning department of Azerbaijan, then as a deputy minister. In 2016, he was appointed Minister of Economic Development. Since January 2020, he has been the Assistant to the President of Russia.
