The Kremlin is reconstructed for the elections – BBC

The Kremlin is reconstructed for the elections – BBC

In the department of internal policy of the Kremlin has undergone extensive rearrangement. Deputy chief of the OHR, the curator of Regions Viktor Seliverstov left post as head of the executive committee of the Moscow branch of the “Popular Front”. New deputy on information policy will become assistant OHR Olga Sitnikov. And its predecessor Timur Prokopenko will oversee all of the party and the ONF. The rotation system is preparing for federal elections, experts say.

On Monday, the deputy chief of the OHR Viktor Seliverstov wrote a letter of resignation from the presidential administration and the same day he was elected head of the executive committee of the Moscow ONF. Offer to go to the structure of the “Popular Front” was made official in early December, told “Gazeta.ru” a source close to the Kremlin. Seliverstov replace the metropolitan executive committee ONF Lyudmila Shevtsova, who died in October.

replace is not in the position – Shvetsov was co-chairman of the Moscow headquarters of “soldiers” – and as a media person, entity ONF, at the same time endowed with organizational powers. According to a source close to the leadership of the ONF, “At first we thought that we would find a figure comparable to Shevtsova, in the Moscow branch of the” Front “, but did not find.” The result was a decision by Seliverstov – this is the most suitable candidate, a political heavyweight, said the source “Gazety.Ru».

Victor Seliverstov until 2004 was deputy prefect of the North-Western District of Moscow, and then headed the executive committee of the Moscow branch of the ” United Russia “. In 2012, came to work in the Kremlin at the invitation of the first deputy head of the presidential administration Vyacheslav Volodin. As deputy chief of the OHR Seliverstov supervised areas.

The problem now former Kremlin official – to strengthen the work of the Moscow organization ONF in anticipation of federal elections 2016-2018 years, said the source close to the Kremlin . Now, he said, the organization does not work: “She did not give anything. In the capital, a very specific structure of power “, – says the source, meaning that the ONF can not act otherwise than without the agreement with the City of Moscow.

The arrival of human capital ONF Volodin make more independent from the municipal authorities structure. But this does not necessarily mean conflict – according to the “Gazety.Ru” SELIVERSTOVA have good relations with the vice-mayor Anastasia cancers. “When it is not the last person in the department of internal policy moves in the ONF – it does not fall. This care policy, “- in turn, highlights the source in the AP.

The Kremlin powers SELIVERSTOVA Tuesday transferred to another deputy chief of the OHR, Tatiana Raven. Until recently, she was in charge of only those areas where elections are held. From now on, all the regional bloc will focus in her hands.

The new powers vested Tuesday another deputy chief of the OHR – Timur Prokopenko. He will be responsible for interaction with the CEC, the ONF and parties.

Before the CEC, the ONF and non-parliamentary parties “took care” Voronov, a part of the parliamentary legislative work in the State Duma – the deputy chief of the OHR Radium Habirov. But in practice it turned out that Habirov oversees activities outside the Duma and the parliamentary political forces. Now, the latest moves in the area of ​​responsibility Prokopenko.

The concentration in his hands supervision over all parties, without exception, together with the CEC and the “Popular Front” means a serious hardware gain Prokopenko.

In fact, with the rank of deputy chief of the OHR, he becomes responsible for the federal campaign – parliamentary and presidential. Remains in its custody and youth policy, which the official in charge from the moment, as in 2012, came to work in the Kremlin.

The transition under the supervision of all Raven regional bloc, and under the supervision Prokopenko – Federal, a Kremlin source explains that, having worked for the past three years, the practice of regional campaigns, as well as practical work at the federal level, “we have an understanding of what to keep and what to change».

«On the whole run single federal platform. With this structure, we will go in the years 2016-2018 “- sums up the source” Gazety.Ru ».

In other words, changes are associated with the preparation of the Kremlin’s key election campaigns – Duma and presidential.

Another personnel decision – the future appointment of the deputy chief of the OHR Olga Sitnikov. Until recently, it was the referent control. Sitnikova powers Prokopenko pass on information policy. In addition, she will oversee the direction of the Internet: as a media component and legislative regulation (the last was in charge Habirov).

Olga Sitnikov works with Volodin many years. While serving as the official vice-speaker of the State Duma was his press secretary, always knew how to find a common language with reporters. Appointment to the post of deputy chief Sitnikova OHR should take place in the coming days.

The permutations in the CIP associated with the preparation of the Kremlin to the federal election, says the head of the fund “Petersburg Politics” Mikhail Vinogradov, “Strategic contour election campaign 2016 starts to close special control module. Begins a systematic preparation for parliamentary elections. Compared to the year 2011 passed the stage – were three single day of voting, the political arena has changed. The consolidation of the regional bloc is logical, since his separation in 2012 is seen by many as an artificial ».

The transition ONF Viktor Seliverstov also, in his opinion, is aimed at strengthening the” veterans “under the 2016-2018 elections.

«Work for SELIVERSTOVA understandable and familiar – says the head of the” political expert group “Konstantin Kalachev. – ONF – a tool to influence governors. Seliverstov – experienced staff, a good performer. In addition, it will balance the situation with the Moscow branch of “United Russia”, the Executive Committee which is headed creature Anastasia Cancer Oleg Smolkin ».

According to the expert, there is logic in that Kremlin puts a curator at the parliamentary and non-parliamentary parties: “As we approach the elections to the Duma to share their illogical. Especially with regard to the need to win in the majority districts. In a crisis, the nature of work with the regions is becoming more and more politicized. The political component becomes dominant ».

Volodin building a system of work with the familiar, intuitive and easy to him the people:” And Prokopenko and Voronov – his students. ” In turn, Seliverstov Luzhkov was shot, but fortunately fit into the team Volodin, summarizes the expert.
