Alexei Kudrin personally invited Novak to replace the Deputy Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation in Moscow. He needed a “neutral person” in the department who could disinterestedly deal with issues of spending federal funds to support the largest manufacturers. Alexander this time did not do without Khloponin's patronage, who nominated him for this post.
