“Kommersant” and “Vedomosti”: “The rebranding of CEC”

None of the representatives of the current leadership of the Central Election Commission, including its chairman Vladimir Churov, was not included in the new composition of the CEC, he writes on the front page of the latest issue the newspaper “Kommersant”.

The two sides of the newspaper in the CEC and the “United Russia” says that the CEC, in any case, waiting for the update, but on how it you need to do, there were two concepts. On one of them, the CEC could become a technical body with the invisible lawyer-functionary headed.



Pamfilova … is not an” allergen “is the credibility of a variety of social groups, which is important for the” rebranding “the CEC”

Mikhail Vinogradov, a political scientist

However, says “Kommersant”, won another concept: the new commission should form the image of the upcoming elections on the principle of “openness, legitimacy and transparency,” which declares the political bloc of the presidential administration why. , explains the edition, the CEC significantly updated and sent from the President Commissioner for human Rights Ella Pamfilova -. it is designed to increase confidence in the work of the commission Newspaper writes that Pamfilova best chance to be elected President of the Commission

“If we compare the new one. the composition of the CEC with the previous, the number of representatives of opposition parties record, and the Communist party has two people, one of them can claim to be the leading place. Formally, it is the most pluralistic commission for the past 15 years “, – said political scientist Alexander Kanev He attributes this.” With the desire to make elections competitive appearance, in spite of the limitation of the rights of observers “

newspaper.” Vedomosti “, with reference to the views experts also claims that the CEC will head it, Ella Pamfilova “Just like with the Commissioner, the CEC did not translate” -. said political analyst Alexander Pozhalov

“Pamfilova not the first time plays the role of frontwoman, while in contrast. Churov is not an “allergen” is the credibility of a variety of social groups, which is important for the “rebranding” the CEC “, – said political analyst Mikhail Vinogradov

the opposition, according to the remark.” Vedomosti “, more critical . The special services is called “cover operation”, when it is necessary “to portray a certain attitude,” says the head of the legal service of the Communist Party Vadim Solovyov, “Pamfilova acts as a symbol of legitimacy, it has a public trust, the human rights community. But by and large today from the CEC little depends – election deal with the administration of the president and governors “.



” Nezavisimaya Gazeta “: image – all

Elective subject dedicated and editorial commentary in “Nezavisimaya Gazeta”, “the closer the elections to the State Duma, the more the Kremlin says it is important that they have been legitimately” -. According to the newspaper in connection with the news of a possible appointment to the post of head of the Central election Commission Ella Pamfilova. The newspaper believes that this could be viewed as a fashion step.

“it seems that the government does not want to prevent a situation in which public opinion about the elections form the non-profit organizations that monitor violations during the voting, counting of votes and announcement of results . These organizations are often beyond the control of the authorities, and some have perceived it as foreign agents whose activities are suspicious, “- says the publication of the reasons for the large-scale reshuffle the Central Election Commission

However, according to the publication, renewal of the CEC -. This half-measures as ensuring legitimacy of elections implies the absence of ballot box stuffing and transparent vote count, but not limited to: prior to the election should be allowed the maximum number of parties, they must be guaranteed access to the voters

If the government aims to win at. legitimate elections, it should seek demonstrative neutrality even in the news under its control channels, according to the newspaper.

According to “Nezavisimaya Gazeta”, given the prevailing habits of the system, to implement all of these conditions, in practice, will be extremely difficult. “Power apparently, it would take the election completely legitimate, if dissenting voices notebooks will count correctly. But elections suggest that the policy has a chance to go beyond her nuclear electorate, and it is traditionally concerned about the Russian authorities. “, – The newspaper

” Vedomosti “: without illusions

One of the materials in the new “Gazette” is devoted to the prospects for the abolition of Western sanctions against Russia. The newspaper notes that the European leaders are increasingly in favor of their abolition.



Opponents of sanctions can only express its position, that is to be critics, but to cancel them due to criticism will not be “

Alexander Tevdoy-Burmuli, MGIMO

” By the end of the first half between the countries of EC to be held a serious discussion of the implementation of the Minsk agreements. In other words, there will be an automatic extension of sanctions against Russia, and, whatever decision we adopt, must first place a serious analysis of the implementation of agreements in Minsk “, – lead” Vedomosti “, the words Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orban

However, the lifting of sanctions. EU against Russia in the summer of 2016 should not be expected, despite the statements of politicians in Hungary, Slovakia, Italy and France, interviewed experts believe the publication.

“This issue is very delicate for the EU, and opponents of sanctions can only be to express their position, that is to be critics, but to cancel them because of criticism will not be. “- says associate professor MGIMO Alexander Tevdoy-Burmuli

” With regard to sanctions is not worth no illusions: dissatisfaction with the sanctions increasing, however, it has not reached the critical level. In the EU, there is a mutual responsibility, and no single country will not break the system. In addition, the country sharpened on anti-Russian rhetoric, – Poland, UK, Sweden, the Baltic countries – their positions to take will not, “- said the lead researcher of the Institute of Europe, Russian Academy of Sciences Sergei Fedorov

US, which on Wednesday night extended. sanctions against Russia for a year, exert political pressure on Europe, but do not carry significant economic losses, but their role is not to exaggerate, said Fedorov: “It is not necessary to represent the EU as US lackeys, as they like to make our media. There’s half a billion people live, and it is the second world economy. However, on the question of sanctions until Washington Brussels bends, using its levers of influence, Europe is not ready to go because of the sanctions in a frontal attack against its main ally “
