The Western space community should put Dmitry Rogozin on “ignore” | Ars Technica

“He never wanted this job," the former NASA source said of Rogozin. "He was essentially demoted, and he has spent his time at Roscosmos trying to get back into Putin’s good graces. And so it has just been an extraordinarily different kind of leadership than we’ve seen before, to the detriment of everyone."

For reasons not entirely clear, Putin removed Rogozin from the prestigious position of deputy prime minister for Russia's defense and space industry in May 2018. Rogozin was subsequently tasked with overseeing Roscosmos, which focuses mostly on civil spaceflight. Instead of bringing a space background or industrial expertise to Roscosmos, Rogozin brought his own brand of Russian nationalist politics.

Yeah. Seems plausible
