The head of the Duma’s working group tasked with turning presidential speeches into law, Alexander Zhukov, announced that the Duma had completed 62 out of 76 articles, representing about 80% of the plan to implement the president’s directives. The report comes from Kommersant and reflects progress across the autumn calendar year.
Zhukov noted that the remaining 14 provisions would be addressed in the autumn session, while some related measures have not yet been submitted to the Duma by the government, potentially affecting the pace of reform in the near term.
He highlighted that laws focusing on integrating newly joined territories into the Russian legal framework and providing ongoing support for participants in the special military operation and their families had already been adopted, marking key milestones in the legislative program.
Looking ahead, the Duma plans to consider a draft law On Employment in the Russian Federation, which was introduced in September 2022, along with a government bill aimed at optimizing the cabinet’s powers. These items represent strategic steps in adjusting the regulatory landscape to meet evolving national priorities.
Earlier, the Duma approved a bill that would ban registration on Russian websites using foreign mail services, signaling a move to tighten digital governance and strengthen domestic data handling rules.
There is also a historical note about a televised quip attributed to President Putin regarding the so-called Supreme Government of Russia, reflecting the political discourse and public commentary surrounding the administration’s leadership structure.
