According to the analyst Konstantin Kalachev, countering security forces candidacy Kozhemyako not cause too. “In the presidential administration he in good standing. He has long been the most successful and popular governor of the Far Eastern District “- like an expert.
Double governors
In Kozhemyako extensive experience in the Far East. He was born in the Primorsky Territory, representing the region in the Federation Council. Then he ran for governor of Kamchatka, was the head of the Koryak Autonomous Okrug. Amur Region Kozhemyako headed in 2008. In the case of appointment, he will be the first in the history of Russian official, who led the three regions.
The two regions led by five governors, including Kozhemyako. Alexander Khloponin, who now works deputy prime minister, from 2001 to 2010, he held the post of governor of the Taimyr and then the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The current Governor of Samara Region Nikolai Merkushin for 17 years, led Mordovia. Krasnoyarsk Territory Governor Viktor Tolokonskiy from 2000 to 2010 headed the neighboring Novosibirsk region. A Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin from 2001 to 2005 was governor of the Tyumen region.
According to the head of the Expert Council of the Civil Society Fund Leonid Davydov, moving from one region of the governors on the other is due to a short bench, “when people seem to have, but they are either compromised and incompetent” or when governor in the first region showed good results, and it could be applied in other regions, keeping the frame.
«Governors is not something that would be in the personnel reserve, but thinking in this respect of any Governor, if he is not a lame duck, is considered “- said president of the” Petersburg Politics “Mikhail Vinogradov. He notes that it is a natural consequence of the fact that they know “they get-together.” “In appointing themselves this creates the illusion of non-randomness of such a decision. With regard to the important regions of Sakhalin and the Samara region, then the more people need is already proven, “- explains the expert.
