MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin recommended the promotion of Energy Minister Alexander Novak to the post of deputy prime minister on Monday as part of a second overhaul of the cabinet this year.The reshuffle is not expected to diminish Novak’s influence on the country’s ties with the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), with Novak saying he would work “in tandem” with his successor to oversee Russian energy strategy until 2035. Industry sources told Reuters that Novak, who had served as energy minister since 2012 would remain Moscow’s main representative at OPEC and provide stability during the volatility on the global oil market. [L8N2HV2RL] In a shake-up first reported by media outlets Kommersant and RBC, President Vladimir Putin also dismissed Transport Minister Yevgeny Dietrich, Natural Resources and Environment Minister Dmitry Kobylkin and Construction Minister Vladimir Yakushev. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the reshuffle, carried out before next year’s parliamentary elections, was the result of a normal ministerial rotation and not tied to the ministers’ performance in fulfilling President Vladimir Putin’s directives.
