Prospects governors have become less dependent on the economic crisis – Vedomosti

The deterioration of the economic situation and the growing influence of law enforcement agencies in the region were the main factors in assessing the position of the governor in the past six months. To such conclusion experts of the Fund “Petersburg politician” and communications holding “Minchenko Consulting”, submitted the 15th edition of the rating of the political survival of governors. Experts estimate the probability of survival in a post acting heads of subjects on a 5-point scale. Most of all, the positions of governors, which the Kremlin has allowed to go to early elections – is the leaders of the Kamchatka Territory, Arkhangelsk, Irkutsk, Kostroma, Leningrad, Omsk and Smolensk regions. The regional administration in general, have been tested by the economic crisis, it said in explanation to the rating, but recent resignation and the appointment does not allow us to speak about strengthening the political weight of governors. So, the center chose to replace political heavyweights Vasily Bochkarev Penza and Tambov Oleg Betina, resign away and Kemerovo old resident Aman Tuleyev, and eventually appointed acting governor Natalia Komarova (Khanty) and Dmitry Kobylkin (YaNAO). On the weakening of governors working and attention-Russia People’s Front (ONF), the criticism is regarded as a signal to the resignation. The position of the governors in the near future will be influenced by several factors, says the head of “Petersburg Politics” Mikhail Vinogradov: “For this we need to understand whether the final grade held governors or the system is not yet able to work without the constant rotation, as will weaken the position of the governors to the precursors which attention was the security forces and the ONF, will rise if the status of elected governors before the appointees. ” “The theme of the budget deficit receded into the background, and the main factor for the survival of governors will be the presence or absence of support among those included in the so-called Politburo 2.0 (inner circle of President Vladimir Putin. -” Vedomosti “),” – said political analyst Yevgeny Minchenko. With such support in their jobs may remain weak governors (eg, the head of the Sverdlovsk Region Governor Yevgeny Kuyvashev Perm region Viktor Basargin), in the absence of – successful managers can take. One of the main trends – the role of the security forces, which will be amplified, said Minchenko, in addition, the population is waiting for the results of the fight against corruption.
