Major decisions regarding the russian military-industrial complex are made personally by putin. However, there are a number of collegial bodies directly and indirectly subordinated to him that formulate and implement the state policy of the russian military-industrial complex, state defense orders and the transition of the economy to a military orientation.
These bodies are composed of officials of various ranks who are close and most loyal to the president of the russian federation, heads of law enforcement agencies and military-industrial complex enterprises. Some of them have been in office since 2014 and are members of several such bodies.
In September 2014, putin subordinated to himself the main body that shapes state policy in the military-industrial complex - the Military-Industrial Commission. Previously, the commission was subordinated to the government.
The commission is composed of:
- The Board of the Military-Industrial Commission - the executive body;
- The Scientific and Technical Council, which is responsible for the scientific and technical development of the military-industrial complex.
When, after the start of the full-scale invasion, problems of efficiency and completeness of control began to appear in the organization of the management of the russian military-industrial complex, putin created two more bodies to improve the situation:
- The Coordination Council under the Government of the russian federation for Meeting the Needs of the Armed Forces, Other Troops, Military Formations and Bodies.
The Council was established in October 2022 to quickly resolve issues of cooperation and make strategic decisions. It includes heads of all law enforcement agencies and financial institutions, representatives of the government and the presidential administration;
- The Presidential Directorate for State Policy in the Defense Industry.
The Directorate was established in December 2024 to oversee and control the activities of the military-industrial complex, as well as external cooperation with other states in the military sphere.
Today, the scheme and composition of the following main governing bodies of the Russian military-industrial complex have been published.
