Dmitry Bakanov has been appointed as the CEO of the Roscosmos State Space Corporation. He has a successful background in the IT industry and in a satellite systems company. Seems like a powerful choice.

When the Russian ruling class rejuvenates and respectfully dismisses most of its older members, it will be a new country. Without the baggage of the XX century and with work experience in the private sector, new leaders will be more intelligent, more efficient, and more ruthless.
