There are no such thing as a "will of the regime" in a strict sense. People tend to project whatever model they have in their head and it's so wrong, yet highlights how insane out of touch is western expertise of russian internal affairs.
"The will" is so sparsely enforced there could be none, and, for example, Putin directly oversees a very, very small amount of topics. One of which is, for example, hypersonics program.
The rest is controlled by a whole goddamn lot of influence groups which president administration mediates (do not confuse with duma and federation council, those are mostly talking heads). For example, current internet censorship breakdown has nothing to do with actually censorship but with a small group of influential people who seek monetary interest in diverting traffic to their wannabe clones of western media.
No, I don't know why they chose such structure nor I have any idea why they selectively enforce one topic and completely abandon another.
