Vasilev – a person close to the classmate of President, a well-known lawyer Nikolai Yegorov, explains RBC source in the FSB manual
Kirov region -. a region with a lot of budget and budget deficit, we have abundant natural resources, said the senator from the Kirov region, Oleg Kazakovtsev. “Queues of candidates was not” – he added. P assmatrivalas possible to assign the place of the White State Duma deputy from the Kirov region, Oleg Valenchuk or senator from the Kirov region Vyacheslav Timchenko, told RBC sources close to the Kremlin. However Valenchuk already tried to become governor of the Kirov region, and once that happens, then against his appointment have any counter-arguments, suggested RBC source close to the leadership of the Kirov region.
The resignation was sent Sergei Hawks head of the Yaroslavl region. In the June ranking of the effectiveness of governors, which is close to the Kremlin Foundation for development of civil society, he lost two positions and took the 81-83-th place out of 85.

Hawks have long held the office and the governor was not strong, but wanting to take his place for a long time was not, says political analyst Yevgeny Minchenko. But then began the planned rotation in power structures, and this place turned out to be very useful, the expert believes.
Mironov From 1990 to 2013 he served in the KGB and organs of state protection. In 2014 he headed the General Directorate of Economic Security and Anti-Corruption Ministry of Internal Affairs (GUEBiPK), whose leaders, generals Sugrobov Denis and Boris Kolesnikov, the conflict with the management of their own security FSB have been accused of that provoked the defendants in criminal cases on bribery.

His decree, the President terminated the powers and the head of Sergei Menyailo Sevastopol, appointed him as his envoy to the Siberian Federal District. Menyailo was unable to control the city and was not popular in Sebastopol, said the candidate for the State Duma on the growth of the Party, the Crimean businessman Oleg Nikolaev, ally of ex-Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Sevastopol Alexei Chaly. Constant scandals and negative information background exacerbated the position of the Mayor believes it.

in Menyailo was a prolonged conflict with the popular Sevastopol hero “Russian spring” Chaly. He was the initiator of the appointment Menyailo governor in 2014, giving him his place and going to the Parliament of Sevastopol, but quickly became disillusioned with the new head of the city and began to seek his resignation. In December 2015, stating that the local government does not fulfill the election promises made in 2014 to protest Chaly resigned as Speaker of the Legislative Assembly and urged to do the same governor. He did not respond to the call. After this Chaly supporters in the Legislative Assembly twice attempted to push through parliament an amendment to the city charter of Sevastopol on the transition to the direct election of governors, which is also included in the electoral program of the “United Russia”, but its supporters Menyailo blocked. At the same time supporters Chaly tried to bring the issue of transition to direct elections to the referendum, however, the local election commission, then the CEC did not take their request, citing the lack of a regional law rules on referendums.
the post of governor took the security forces, because the president trust them, it’s support, says political analyst Alexei Makarkin. At the same time the heads of regions are natives of different law enforcement agencies to keep the balance of power: there is a serious competition, he drew attention between various power groups. Massive changes in the embassy and gubernatorial posts in a single day – it’s just a human chain, the expert said, when someone is fired, it must be somewhere to move
