Vadim Radchekno (Pictured above), current Premier of the S.D.P.R., has largely continued the
reform work of his predecessor and mentor. He is considered a controversial figure by many of
Severyane's dwindling "old guard" Perovists.

SEVEROGRAD - After implementing a long awaited expansion of Severyane's "Foreign Economic Zones" current Premier Vadim Radchenko appeared before hundred of press and politicians. Though his speech seemed normal at first, detailing the specifics of the economic zone expansion, it soon turned to a topic most political pundits in Severyane could hardly dream of. The Premier announced a plan to begin a multitude of reforms to the Severyan constitution and said he and his office were "working very closely with the legislative branch to assure the legality of and expediency of the implementation of said reforms." After this statement he proceeded to detail the planned reforms, some of which include:

Repealing all law, articles of the constitution, and court proceedings which ban or otherwise interfere with freedom of speech and freedom to peacefully assemble and protest, repealing all laws which allow the intelligence agencies of the government unlimited power to spy on domestic citizens via any means, disallowing the direct appointment of current military officials to government offices unless they have been retired for a set number of years, dismantling Severyane's Internet censorship tools and their infrastructure, and easing some of the restrictions on emigration.

This is not a complete list, however, these are the most important of the ones mentioned. Premier Radchenko has been hailed by several of Severyane's current legislators as a "Champion of Freedom." Many speculate that he is trying to usher in an unprecedented era of political and civil freedoms never before seen in the history of Severyane. Whether or not the Severyan Judicial Branch will play along with the Premier's reforms is unknown as of yet, however the Premier stated "it does not look like the Judiciary will be able to do anything against these reforms. They are not illegal, simply controversial."
