Governors have placed on the effectiveness – The first anti-corruption media

Civil Society Development Foundation has prepared a summary of the 2015 edition of the rating the effectiveness of governors. The study is based on the consolidated results of the four regular issues of the rating, published last year.

Civil Society Development Foundation set up the final assessment of the governors. In the new study, experts have summarized the results of rating the efficiency of regional leaders, published last year. The position of a leader in the ranking was determined by evaluation of the work Governor of the population of the region, as well as the reduction factor – number of factors (competition, transparency, legitimacy) and the factor of affiliation, as amended by the rating after the scandalous arrest of the former head of the Komi Republic Vyacheslav Gayzer .

The most effective governor on the results of the study expected was the head of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District Dmitry Kobylkin . Over the years, he regularly provides leading positions. The second line took Anatoly Artamonov , guiding the Kaluga region. Third place went to the governor of the Belgorod Yevgeny Savchenko . Capital Mayor Sergei Sobyanin was in eighth place in the rankings.

Have allocated researchers and the most successful leaders of growth in the previous year. Thus, the undisputed “spearhead” in 2015 became the governor of Rostov region Vasily Golubev , a year which added just 18 points in the ranking. His position reflected in the active participation of the Rostov region in the implementation of food security policies and the recognition of the public success of the government in the housing sector in the region.

The second place among the growth leaders took the governor of Leningrad region Alexander Drozdenko (16 points). His figures determine the success of the regional government in the socio-economic sphere. Due to this area has become a region-donor and one of the few subjects of the RF avoid curtailment of the budget.

However, a number of senior officials in the past year significantly worsened their position.

Valery Shantsev

In particular, the governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region Valery Shantsev lowered its figures for 21 points. According to the compilers of the rating, affected by factors such as “development in the Nizhny Novgorod region of conflict within the elite, the intervention of the head region in the affairs of political parties, election campaign using the tools of administrative pressure.” Also, “the factor of affiliation” Shantsev has grown after the criminal case against the minister of industry, trade and business area of ​​ Alexander Makarov , who was accused of abuse of office.

noticeably deteriorated positions and Ulyanovsk Governor Sergei Morozov . It happened after the Interior Ministry conducted a preliminary inquiry of the Federal high-tech center of medical radiology and certain employees of the government of the Ulyanovsk region, based on the results of audits of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation.

closed three “antiliderov” the head of the Ryazan region Oleg Kovalev . His situation worsened two episodes. Firstly, the Ryazan Regional Branch of the Committee of Public Safety of the Russian Federation accused the governor of abuse of office. The reason was the transfer of government land area of ​​the State Museum SA Esenina for development. And building permits in the area of ​​protected natural landscapes have been issued to persons related to the governor. Secondly, with regard to the Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Ryazan region Gennady Nozdrina it was a criminal case on the fact of corruption.

Vyacheslav Gaiser

According to the staff of the Fund, the main challenge in 2016 governors will be economic situation. The ability of these conditions demonstrate the effectiveness of crisis, namely, in spite of the situation to ensure the economic development of the region, including to prevent the decline in industrial production and sverhzakreditovannosti and stable social commitment, will be a decisive factor that will determine the position of senior officials in the ranking.

Meanwhile, the position of the Russian governors in some rankings often quite arbitrary and is determined only by several criteria, on the basis of which is not always possible to make an objective assessment of the head. It demonstrated a scandalous arrest of the head of the Komi Republic Vyacheslav Gayzer in September last year. So, before his detention and subsequent arrest Gaiser regularly hit the tops of various rankings and among the five most efficient Russian governors. While not overnight turned the head of an organized criminal group, which, according to investigators, many years engaged in theft of state property. According to the UK, large-scale corruption of higher officials of the Komi regional lasted about 10 years and has caused damage to the region in excess of 1 billion rubles.
