"United under the same chain". Brilliant Mikrin, successful and decisive Sevastyanov, experienced Solovyov, skillful Ozar. A memo on the personnel blitz in S. P. Korolev RSC Energia (2019 - 2021).
In 2015, by the decree of the President of the Russian Federation, Evgeny Anatolyevich Mikrin was appointed General Designer of Russian manned space programs. In December 2015, he was appointed general designer of RSC Energia. Since July 2016, he there held the position of General Designer - First Deputy General Director.
On March 6, 2019, Nikolai Sevastyanov was elected General Director of the Energia Rocket and Space Corporation.
Over the previous 6 months: Vladimir Solntsev was in the chair of the head (he retired in August 2018), Sergei Romanov came instead of Solntsev. In March 2019, Romanov was replaced by Sevastyanov.
Nikolay Sevastyanov had his own view on the tasks of RSC Energia. He raised the question of mastering the Moon, creating a super-heavy spacecraft for flights to the Moon, arranging a base (lunar station) in orbit around the Moon, and preparing a lunar module (for transporting astronauts and cargo from the lunar station to the Moon surface and back).
Nikolay Sevastyanov came to the post of the head of RSC Energia the second time. He also had experience in managing various organizations, including a private company in the space sector.
In December 2019 (approximately December 19, 2019) Nikolai Sevastyanov sent a letter to the head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin. The letter said, in particular: 'The practice of the last three years has shown that the combination of the positions of the industry general designer for the Manned Space Systems and Complexes project and the general designer of RSC Energia in one person (Mikrin E.A.) led to conflict of interest, which resulted in a noticeable failure in a number of important government contracts and military-technical cooperation projects. "
Mikrin, who was appointed to the post of general designer in 2015, was blamed for the failure to meet the deadlines for all the main activities of the corporation: the development under a contract with the Ministry of Defense of the upper stage DM-03, intended for launching automatic spacecraft for the Angara rocket, execution of the contract on the manufacture of an automatic spacecraft for Angola.
Mikrin, according the letter, is responsible for the fact that the Russian segment of the ISS was not completed until 2015 - the multifunctional laboratory module "Nauka", the nodal module "Prichal" and the scientific and energy module have not yet been launched.
According to the letter, it was Mikrin who was responsible for the fact that the Russian manned spacecraft Oryol [Eagle] turned out to be heavier than it was planned.
In addition, the appeal states that until now there is no complete set of working design documentation for the "Oryol" ship. Such situation does not allow starting the manufacture of full-fledged development of products.
Sevastyanov, by his own order, appointed himself to the position of general designer of the enterprise, combining the positions of general director and general designer and dismissing Mikrin from the position of general designer.
The management of RSC Energia (General Director Nikolai Sevastyanov) offered Mikrin a new position - Deputy General Director with subordination to Mikrin of the Center for Research and Development of Manned Programs, but Evgeny Mikrin refused to agree on this appointment of him to the new position.
By Rogozin's resolution, the issue was referred to the first deputy head of Roscosmos Yuri Urlichich and the general director of TsNIIMash Sergei Koblov. '(Https://ria.ru/20191219/1562558056.html?in=t)
On February 4, 2020, RSC Energia General Director Nikolai Sevastyanov invalidated the previous version of the corporation's organizational structure, approved its new version and returned Academician Evgeny Mikrin to the position of Deputy General Director and General Designer. It was necessary for him to issue an order to invalidate the previous version of the corporate management structure (https://www.interfax.ru/russia/694015).
On April 19, 2020, it became known that Evgeny Mikrin was diagnosed with a coronavirus.
On May 5, 2020, at the age of 65, Evgeny Mikrin died.
On May 18, 2020 Dmitry Rogozin presented to the team of the S. P. Korolev RSC Energia of the new acting General Director of the enterprise Igor Ozar (appointed to the post on May 15, 2020). Ozar left the post of CEO of PJSC Sukhoi at the beginning of 2020, where he worked since 1999 (since 2011 - CEO).
Sevastyanov moved to the position of advisor to the general director of Roscosmos.
The change in leadership of RSC Energia was associated with the continuing financial and production crisis at the enterprise concerning the difficulties in creating civil (the "Oryol" manned spacecraft of the new generation) and military (development of a new upper stage for the Angara-A5 launch vehicle) projects.
Rogozin expressed confidence that Ozar will cope with the tasks facing the corporation, including the launch of flight tests of the manned transport ship "Oryol" ["Eagle"] in 2023, the managment of the cooperation on the creation of a super-heavy rocket and its elements, as well as a number of others projects, including the development of the concept of a new orbital [near-Earth? near-Moon?] station.

Around May 2021, Vladimir Alekseevich Solovyov replaced Yevgeny Mikrin, who died of coronavirus, as General Designer of the Energia Rocket and Space Corporation (this became known for a wide public on July 8, 2021). Vladimir Solovyov has performed eight spacewalks with a total duration of 31 hours and 29 minutes. In his second flight (from March 13 to July 16, 1986), the cosmonaut for the first time in the world carried out a unique interorbital flight from one orbital station to another (from Mir to Salyut-7) and back, transporting unique scientific equipment. (On the night of February 6-7, 1991, Salyut-7 was de-orbited).
From 1988 to 1990 and from 1994 to 2001 he was the flight director of the Russian station Mir, and is the permanent flight director of the Russian segment of the ISS. (https://ria.ru/20210708/naznachenie-1740365559.html?utm_source=yxnews&utm_medium=desktop)
In the official statement on the sinking of the Mir orbital station on March 23, 2001, it was said that the station would be de-orbited by a shift on duty under the leadership of Vladimir Solovyov.

In July 2021, plans to launch the Nauka module and the European robotic arm ERA to the ISS became realistic (plans for their launch were on the agenda and had been discussed for about 20 years).
