Instead of working subordinates Vildanova engaged in “turn-key standards. TRP, planting trees, bike ride, “Pamfilova said. All this, in its opinion, threatened to reputational risks for the electoral commission of the Moscow region.

The wrestler with the “Nazis»

Vildanov led Moscow regional election commission since 2011. Prior to that, he worked in the regional parliament, where he studied the issues of ecology and natural resources, as well as provided consulting services to the “United Russia”. Initially, the head of the Moscow Region Commission -. A native of the party “Yabloko»

Under the leadership of Vildanova Moscow regional election commission earned bad glory among representatives of opposition political parties and observers

The official actively fought with the representatives of “The Voice”, which deals with the supervision of the elections. Later, she was recognized by the Russian authorities, “foreign agent”.

The head Mosoblizbirkoma told in an interview that fair elections – its “vital principle.” “In my opinion, all these dirty things bring to the polls unscrupulous political consultants who are hired for the money and try to somehow justify the defeat of their candidates,” – says Vildanov

In the Moscow region regularly rattle scandals in the election. . One of the last took place under the new head of the CEC Pamfilova, when in Barvikha facts were discovered mass registration of voters in the elite village on the eve of the vote. As a result of the scandal with the election of opposition candidates withdrew four of the Fund’s fight against corruption Alexei Navalny. After identifying violations Pamfilova was forced to cancel the elections in Barvikha.

Director of the Center for Economic and Political Reform Nikolay Mironov said that the last straw for the resignation Vildanova likely, it was the situation in Barvikha. After the cancellation of local elections in the CEC began to receive alarms from human rights activists that the new Commission is formed Barvihinskaya with large disturbances. Then, apparently, Pamfilova knew: Mosoblizbirkom lesson is not learned and the regional commission finally got out of control

The benefit of the Kremlin and the position of the Moscow Region

Care Vildanova considered by experts as the initiative of the new head of the CEC. Russia Ella Pamfilova clean state agency from the most odious leaders who were there under her predecessor, Vladimir Churov. Representatives of the presidential administration have repeatedly stated that headed for the improvement of the situation with the elections in the country. “The president made it clear that this will be treated harshly,” – he said “Gazeta.ru” familiar with the situation in the CEC source

The very Pamfilova is in a difficult situation in his new post.. She has a good reputation in the human rights community. However, interviewed by “Gazetoy.Ru” experts say that it is “acting in the given circumstances” and not able to fundamentally improve the situation because “the chief electoral committee” is still in the presidential administration.

It is not clear who takes over as the new head of the Moscow Region CEC. Experts note that most of the violations is happening in the early stages of voting and removal of undesirable candidates is due to the arbitrariness of the regional authorities.

Scandalous behavior Vildanova continued the line of the previous leadership of the CEC, – said the coordinator of the “Voice” Vitaly Averin. – Ella Pamfilova, there are opportunities to show themselves, to raise the status and credibility of the elections. You can welcome the resignation of officials odious, discredited electoral system of the region, but do not feed the illusion that it will change the entire system of elections in Russia. As for the elections in Moscow, from the chairman of a lot depends. Let’s see how there will be elections in September. »

Before this Pamfilova care contributed the Chief Electoral Officer of St. Petersburg Alexei Puchnin. In this city, the opposition also regularly complained about the processes of municipal and gubernatorial elections.

We will do everything for the reference in terms of the transparency of the elections on September 18 »

Political analyst Nikolai Mironov believes that the removal of the heads of regional election commissions is beneficial to the Kremlin -. So he will get more control over ancestral lands governors.

«Formally, this is in line with the policy of the first deputy chairman of the president’s administration Vyacheslav Volodin motto NUMBER (competitiveness, transparency, legitimacy). The motives for the resignation Vildanova clear and beyond doubt. Though he came to his place before the governor of the Moscow region Andrei Vorobyov, but nevertheless Mosoblizbirkom was always on guard for the interests of regional authorities, – Mironov says. – In reality, the new configuration of the CEC as a more independent and legitimate structure will be used to strengthen the Kremlin’s control of the electoral processes in the region and pressure on the governors. Now the election commissions are tied to regional administrations, now controlled by the Kremlin makes it vertical committees. »
