Deputy Head of the Yabloko faction, Sergei Ivanenko, called
the decisions on the formation of the new Cabinet �anticipated
decisions�.
In an interview with journalists on May 19, 2000 he said
that President of the RF Vladimir Putin had previously stressed
constantly that �there will be no serious abrupt changes
in the Cabinet�.
Ivanenko said that the fifth Deputy Prime Minister may
be a figure suitable for �such liberals� as Alexei Kudrin
and German Gref. He also said that the appointment of Gennadi
Bukarev as Minister for Taxes and Duties is �a cause for
concern�.
He recalled the declarations made by the new minister
on the inadmissibility of any reduction in taxes. Ivanenko
said that he considered such declarations to be �strange,
especially given the statements made by the Prime Minister
Mikhail Kasyanov about the need to reduce taxes�.
