Russia will cut its army of bureaucrats by more than 100,000 within the next three years, saving 43 billion rubles ($1.5 billion), Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin said on Monday.

Under the government plan, ministries and agencies will have to sack five percent of their staff in 2011 and 2012, and 10 percent in 2013.

Kudrin said that a government commission had found that 1,468 government positions were redundant, 263 duplicated each other and 868 required investigation to find out if they were necessary.

In the last three years, the number of bureaucrats in the federal government had increased by nearly 20,000, in regional governments by 60,000 and at municipalities by 50,000, he said.

Amazing... first the French and now the Russians.  We're screwed unless we can elect people that will do the same.

Don't forget that Cuba is also going to firing a bunch of leeches from the government.
