In January 2020, he unexpectedly relinquished his post to incumbent Prime Minister Mikhail Misustin and took over as deputy chairman of the powerful Russian Security Council, a position created specifically for him as there was no such post in the body before he took office. “They gave him the position of a jester, without responsibilities and allowed him to write in the Telegram,” journalist Dmitry Kolezev commented on Medvedev’s move.
