Deputy Minister of Justice Maxim Travnikov may take the position of head of the presidential department for ensuring the constitutional rights of citizens, and the current head of the department, Dmitry Zhuikov, may move to work in the government apparatus. In any case, Kommersant writes about this on Monday. It cannot be said, however, that this is an important reshuffle - it is simply that, apparently, the work of the Administration and the government continues to be adjusted.
Vladimir Putin signed a decree appointing heads of departments of his administration on June 22. All of them, except for the head of the department for ensuring the activities of the State Council, Mikhail Bryukhanov, and the head of the department for ensuring the constitutional rights of citizens, Dmitry Zhuikov, were reassigned. Bryukhanov was appointed deputy head of Rossotrudnichestvo on the same day, and nothing was reported about the fate of Zhuikov.
The Presidential Office for Ensuring the Constitutional Rights of Citizens is responsible, among other things, for issues of citizenship, pardons and political asylum. Dmitry Zhuikov has headed the department for ensuring the constitutional rights of citizens since 2004. Before that, since 1997, he was assistant to the head of the Administration. One of Kommersant’s interlocutors drew attention to the fact that after the reshuffles had already been made, Presidential Assistant Evgeny Shkolov, to whom the department for ensuring the constitutional rights of citizens “is largely functionally dependent,” left the Presidential Administration.
Several Kommersant interlocutors claim that Zhuikov will go to work in the government apparatus, and he will be replaced by Deputy Minister of Justice Maxim Travnikov, who has already even passed the necessary checks. At the Ministry of Justice, Travnikov developed extradition treaties, dealt with the topic of pardons, dealt with the transfer of convicts and citizenship issues - so the topic was already familiar to him.
Maxim Travnikov began working in the legal department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs under Yevgeny Primakov. Then he was at the permanent mission of Russia to the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, and in 2003 he was transferred to the office of the first deputy head of the Presidential Administration, Dmitry Kozak. At the same time, Putin instructed Kozak to work on a plan for resolving the Transnistrian conflict, which provided for the federalization of Moldova. Travnikov, together with Kozak, participated in negotiations with the Moldovan and Transnistrian authorities. The document was prepared in November 2003, but in last moment Moldovan President Vladimir Voronin refused to sign it, which is why Vladimir Putin’s visit to Chisinau had to be cancelled.
At the Ministry of Justice, Travnikov oversaw the department international law, who had a noticeable increase in work after the introduction of sanctions against Russia. The powers of the department and, accordingly, the deputy minister in charge of this area were strengthened on May 28 by Vladimir Putin, who signed changes to the regulations on the ministry. The Ministry of Justice began to officially provide representation and protection of Russia’s interests in the courts of foreign states, despite the fact that previously the department was vested with such powers only in relation to the ECHR.
At the same time, the de facto department has already ensured Russia’s participation in other processes. For example, this was the case with proceedings to cancel decisions of international arbitration at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague on claims of former YUKOS shareholders, as well as with the process of a claim filed in international arbitration former member Federation Council Sergei Pugachev. And in 2017, Russia won a claim against Belarus in the court of the Eurasian Economic Union in connection with the unlawful seizure and conversion to the income of this state. household appliances and the Ministry of Justice then also provided representation of Russian interests.
Be that as it may, now Travnikov, apparently, is needed in the AP - and this is rather a promotion for him, especially since the management functionality may change over time.

After receiving his diploma, he worked as an attaché and third secretary in the legal department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation until 1999. For the next four years, he was the third and second secretary of the Permanent Mission of Russia to the Council of Europe in Strasbourg. In 2003, Travnikov became an adviser in the office of the Deputy and First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation.
In the spring of 2004, Travnikov acted as an assistant to the chief of staff of the Russian Government, Dmitry Kozak, and in May 2004, he assumed the position of deputy director of the Department of International Cooperation of the Russian Government. For four years, he participated in the work of committees: for the preparation and conduct of Russia's chairmanship of the Group of Eight in 2006, the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, ensured Russia's chairmanship of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in 2008, and was involved in organizing the Russian presence in the Spitsbergen archipelago.
In the period from July 22, 2008 to September 2012, Maxim Aleksandrovich worked as Deputy Minister of Regional Development of Russia. Supervised issues of cross-border and interregional cooperation, government national policy and interethnic relations, protection of the rights of national minorities and indigenous peoples of Russia.
At the beginning of 2009, Travnikov was included in the “first hundred” of the reserve of management personnel under the patronage of the President of the Russian Federation. In August of the same year, he received the class rank of Actual State Counselor of Justice of the Russian Federation, First Class, in addition to which he already had the diplomatic rank of Second Secretary, First Class. From 2011 to 2012, he was a member of the Council of Heads of Subjects of the Russian Federation under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia.
At the same time, Travnikov is a member of the Council under the President of the Russian Federation for Cossack Affairs. He is a member of the board of the Agency for the Development of the State Border of Russia. Member of the Interdepartmental Commission for Cooperation with National Associations. Member of the Council of the MGIMO Alumni Association.
By Decree of the President of Russia dated September 30, 2012 Travnikov Maxim Aleksandrovich was appointed to the position of Deputy Minister of Justice of the Russian Federation.
Maxim Travnikov July 11, 2018 moved to work in the Administration of the President of Russia, where he headed the Department for Ensuring the Constitutional Rights of Citizens. Replaced Dmitry Zhuikov as his boss.
By decree of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, October 10, 2019 Maxim Travnikov was appointed head of the Head of State’s Department for Civil Service and Personnel, releasing him from his previously held position.
The personnel adjustment of the Cabinet of Ministers continues. Maxim Travnikov has been appointed new Deputy Minister of Regional Development Dmitry Kozak.
Since the structural reorganization of the cabinet, Dmitry Kozak’s department has acquired many functions and become more influential than at the time when this ministry was headed by Vladimir Yakovlev. True, Kozak’s inheritance was not an easy one, and it is unlikely that any of his colleagues would envy him. But the minister is only strengthening his department with equally influential personnel, because it is with this team that he will have to develop a coherent regional policy. Former deputy director of the government department of international cooperation Maxim Travnikov is one of them. For just over four years, he actually supervised the international contacts of the Deputy Prime Minister - Chief of the Government Staff Sergei Naryshkin, while remaining a non-public figure.
However, for the tough manager Dmitry Kozak, Travnikov is not a new person. They had already worked together. From 2003 to 2004, Travnikov was an adviser in the office of the deputy and first deputy head of the presidential administration, Dmitry Kozak, and participated in the preparation of the Transnistrian settlement plan and the Kozak Memorandum. After Kozak arrived in March 2004 The White house In order to carry out administrative reform, Travnikov also moved to Krasnopresnenskaya embankment as an assistant to the head of the government apparatus.
But within two months he became deputy director of the department of international cooperation. In this position, Maxim Travnikov took part in the work of many organizing committees - on the preparation and conduct of Russia's chairmanship of the Group of Eight in 2006 (for which, by the way, he was awarded the medal of the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, 1st degree), the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, ensuring Russia's chairmanship of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in 2008-2009 and even ensured the Russian presence in the Spitsbergen archipelago.
So the issues of cross-border and interregional cooperation, state national policy and interethnic relations, protection of the rights of national minorities and indigenous peoples of Russia, which he will supervise in his new post, are not new to him.
It is also obvious that the Ministry of Regional Development will soon bring the concept of regional development to a clear denominator.
