Personnel changes may take place in the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Communications in the near future. Two deputy ministers – State Secretary Oleg Pak and telecom industry curator Dmitry Kim – will leave their posts. Four sources in telecom operators and IT companies told Vedomosti about this.
An interlocutor in the Mintsifra report told Vedomosti about the possible upcoming departure of two deputy ministers and was confirmed by two interlocutors in telecom operators and one source in an IT company. These interlocutors do not know about the exact date of the departure of Pak and Kim, about the reasons, and also who will perform their duties.
A source in the Ministry of Digital Development itself, however, confirmed only Pak’s departure. And the interlocutor, close to the Ministry of Digital Development, specified that Kim could leave the post of deputy for telecom, but would remain in charge of another direction in the ministry. He added that Kim would not leave the perimeter of the ministry, but could take over the direction of state informatization, for which Park was previously responsible, he suggests. Pak, most likely, will move to a new state informatization structure, notes another Vedomosti interlocutor in one of the subordinate institutions of the Ministry of Digital Development.
