Five possible successors to Vorobyov. Vladimir Zhirinovsky: Governor Vorobyov must resign (exclusive video)

INTRODUCTION

DEVELOPER OF RUSSIAN LAND

BUDGET KIDALOVO

AS THE LAST TIME

This time the Governor of the Moscow Region, Andrei Vorobyov, also made it to the Club of Regions. Experts have noticed that people criticize the leader of the Moscow region mainly for ecological problems and for defrauded shareholders. They came to the fore, however, according to experts, in total he publicly fell into disgrace with the people seven times.

His first “misfortune,” judging by the rating, was massive complaints from residents of the region about numerous violations of laws committed by MosOblEIRTS LLC. According to complainants, this private company, registered in the city of Protvino, is like a “pocket” of the regional leadership and takes on a lot. He interferes with his powers and performs functions not provided for by law.

At the same time, this cheerful bunch arbitrarily and unreasonably limits the time for receiving meter readings. And on top of that, private traders hide money transferred by the public in obscure bank accounts. In this case, so-called “transit” technologies are used, which makes it possible to direct resources anywhere and to anyone. The result is debts to resource companies.

The second informational reason for Vorobyov’s sadness was the scandal surrounding the shareholders of the Western Gate of the Capital residential complex, who, after 16 years of waiting for their problems to be solved, began a hunger strike. As they say, some minister came and even the vice-governor visited, but then they disappeared along with the promised “agreement.” Pedaled, as they say, it's a shame to the public Maria Pogrebnyak, wife of the famous football player Pavel Pogrebnyak (https://www.instagram.com/p/BegbNhUBaMa/?taken-by=mariapoga_). It was she who stood up for the shareholders and recorded her indignant appeal personally to Vorobyov.

The unrest in and around Kolomna, associated with a large-scale increase in the flow of garbage to landfills, caused a great resonance to the detriment of the image of the first person of the Moscow region. People are already fed up with problems because of the Volovichi landfill, and they are going to load hundreds of thousands more tons under their noses every year. In addition to all this, there is also a waste incineration plant in historical Kolomna. And then Vorobyov also came under the indignant information shot fired by Anatoly Talitskikh, a member of the Kolomna Officers’ Union.

But this officer's shot was not the last. The specialists who compiled the rating of “targets” also noted the speeches of Chekhov City Council deputy Nikolai Dizhur. In February, he spoke frankly more than once on this same, as political scientists say, “toxic” topic and harshly criticized the governor for the environmental problems that he is creating through his ministers.

Vorobyov should also be concerned about the alarming speeches in Chernogolovka. Even experts analyzing the situation in Vladimir region, noted that a rally was held there against the construction of a landfill near the settlement of Filippovskoye. As the compilers noted, among the governor’s “misfortunes” were protests by residents of the Moscow region against the construction of the Vinogradovo-Boltino-Tarasovka highway.

The compassionate creators of the rating write that they want to help governors and their “specialized deputies.” They will supposedly sit, evaluate their image in the media and “once again” think whether they are doing everything right and “what is the reason for their information misfortunes.” It is impossible to say how other regional leaders will react, but Vorobiev is unlikely to pay serious attention to these messages.

After all, recently the head of the Russian Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, announced to the whole country that in connection with violations of election legislation, she would personally send a letter to Andrei Vorobyov. This seventh “hit” of the governor in this rating was caused by complaints from residents. They are outraged that people wearing uniforms with party symbols go to voter rounds.

And we can already guess how the governor will treat his political “misfortunes” in the Moscow region in early autumn. It is unlikely that in the remaining six months he will seriously engage in solving environmental and other problems in order to achieve a positive vote on his candidacy. More likely, people in uniform will appear on voters' doorsteps again. It doesn’t matter what party they are equipped with, but despite this, in many cities and villages there will definitely not be a forgiven Sunday on the day of the gubernatorial elections.

The series of gubernatorial resignations in Russia is characterized by a “tribute of respect” to the former heads of regions - they are not “thrown out” to the sidelines political life countries, but are left “in the cage.” According to the director of the consulting agency NPR Group Dmitry Fetisov, the same fate awaits the current head of the Moscow region Andrey Vorobyov, who may be fired from his current position before the new year.

Commenting in an interview RIA "New Day" resignations of governors that took place this week, Fetisov noted that such reshuffles follow the same scenario.

“The situation as a whole is repeating itself: there are a number of governors who have either reached a certain age or for whom there are questions, including administrative ones. Other people come to take their place,” Fetisov said.

At the same time, he noted that outgoing governors are given certain preferences.

“Even Merkushkin ( Nikolay Merkushkin– former head Samara region), to whom there were many questions, is appointed to the position (special presidential representative for interaction with the World Congress of Finno-Ugric Peoples) - this is a potential springboard for him for the Federation Council. Merkushkin remains in this circle in one capacity or another. In addition, governors are allowed to announce their resignation at will, like Tolokonsky ( Victor Tolokonsky– governor Krasnoyarsk Territory) and even Chance ( Valery Shantsev– ex-head of the Nizhny Novgorod region) is a certain sign of trust on the part of the president, within the framework that exists,” the expert said.

In this regard, he expressed confidence that one of the “waves” of resignations would also affect the governor of the Moscow region. “I think Vorobyov’s resignation will follow before the New Year. It is obvious that the president has questions for him - the last direct line showed this,” he explained.

At the same time, Fetisov drew attention to the fact that “the situation itself” in the Moscow region also requires a change of governor. “The dissatisfaction of both municipalities and residents is growing. The number of socio-economic problems is increasing. It is obvious that Vorobyov is not coping. He's enough effective leader, but he didn’t make an effective governor,” the expert noted.

According to him, Vorobyov is now being selected new position, and as soon as this is done, he will leave his post.

Fetisov noted that it is too early to guess who will take the place of governor of the Moscow region.

“The names of the candidates are different. Considering that the region is quite difficult, most likely this will be a very strong candidate, but unexpected,” he believes.

At the same time, the political scientist emphasized that there is currently no “acute” struggle for appointments in the Kremlin.

“Whenever there is an appointment, there is a struggle between the groups that we conventionally call “Kremlin towers.” But this time it is almost invisible. Only in Nizhny Novgorod for one of the contenders for Shantsev’s place - Roman Antonov– mountains of compromising evidence were published. Perhaps this was done to remove him from the list of candidates for appointment. In general, this struggle cannot be called acute - there are isolated manifestations that do not at all negate the general trend,” he concluded.

As RIA Novy Den previously reported, on September 25, the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the early termination of powers of the head of the Samara region Nikolai Merkushkin. On September 26, the governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region resigned Valery Shantsev. On September 27, the governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory announced his resignation Victor Tolokonsky and head of Dagestan Ramazan Abdulatipov. Today it became known about the resignation of the head of the Nenets Okrug Igor Koshin.

Let us recall that earlier the media reported that the heads of the Ivanovo, Murmansk, Nizhny Novgorod, Samara, Novosibirsk, Omsk regions and the Altai Territory may also leave their positions in the fall.

According to the latest data from Interfax sources, up to eight regional heads may lose their posts in the near future. In an interview RIA "New Day" political scientist Oleg Matveychev noted that now there are about ten governors who could be replaced.

Governor of the Moscow Region Andrei Vorobyov reported on the work done over the year. In his opinion, the region should be among the top five subjects of Russia, but in reality not everything is so smooth. The Moscow region is increasing its credit debt, investments are falling, and administrative reform MSU threatens to turn around real war with local elites.

Recently, expert circles have been discussing the possible resignation of Andrei Vorobyov from the post of governor of the Moscow region. Among the mentioned reasons are not only a possible deterioration in health, but also more objective factors related to the economy of the region and the reform of the local government system.

LSG reform is the main stumbling block between the governor and local elites. In fact, Andrei Vorobyov wanted to build a certain form of “vertical of power” close to the management structure of Moscow, which would significantly facilitate the leadership process, giving the head of the region all the powers for sole rule. Following the example of the capital, Vorobyov intends to abandon elected heads municipalities, replacing them with hired city managers, who will even be appointed de jure through his administration. The second step is complete control over all local budgets, which in a difficult economic situation will allow the governor to operate financial resources at his own discretion. The third step is getting rid of the influence of local elites, whose business is often associated with construction and housing and communal services, and the gradual monopolization of the Moscow region market by large federal players.

In addition, the governor’s PR people put forward the thesis that the depoliticization of local self-government and the replacement of electoral processes with personnel nomenklatura will ultimately turn out to be a benefit for the population. Instead of populists and deceivers, the territories will be governed by trained personnel. But this is where the problem arose, since it turned out that Vorobyov’s appointees were not professionals at all, but exactly the opposite, weak and unfamiliar with the specifics municipal government random people. After all, if the heads of cities and districts are not elected, but appointed, do you want to understand who is responsible for this HR and on what basis are personnel appointments made? As practice has shown, over the past four years, the heads appointed by Vorobyov were forced to resort to the formation of district administrations from among the same employees that they had previously dismissed. And the new employees who came along with the new city managers turned out to be real pests. Suffice it to recall the deputies arrested earlier on suspicion of corruption - the head of Pushkinsky district Roman Eliseev, the head of the Solnechnogorsk district Roman Kalinkin, the Noginsk district Ivan Ionov, as well as the Ramensky district, the city of Odintsovo and many other officials of the new wave.

It is the inability to build a system of district management, where new appointed heads could successfully cope with the tasks assigned to them, that can lead to a change in the governor of the Moscow region. Among the possible candidates various sources Five names were named: Alexander Beglov, Mikhail Men, Sergei Neverov, Radiy Khabirov and Georgy Poltavchenko.

The most logical candidate seems to be Alexander Beglov, the current presidential envoy to the Central Federal District, a person extremely close to Vladimir Putin from his work in St. Petersburg. Considering that the institution of plenipotentiary representation has recently weakened greatly, it is possible that in the end it will be completely abolished or reformatted. In this regard, Beglov’s transition to the governor’s job would be justified; in addition, the Moscow region is rightfully considered a “capital” region, and therefore cannot be considered some kind of demotion. Alexander Beglov is able to strengthen the Moscow region by carrying out a more balanced personnel policy, complete the reform of local self-government without indiscriminately driving all municipalities into the framework of urban districts. True, there is a version that Beglov could become mayor of the “northern capital” if the current head of St. Petersburg, Georgy Poltavchenko, leaves his post, because at the beginning of the 2000s he was already acting governor and working in the city administration.

From here, in turn, a version emerged about the possible transfer of Georgy Poltavchenko to the Moscow region. As a former presidential envoy to the Central Federal District, Poltavchenko knows the Moscow region well, which means he can quickly take over the reins of government. Actually, his failure in too liberal St. Petersburg was dictated by the fact that Poltavchenko did not fit well into the atmosphere of the urban environment. If, following the example of the same Sergei Sobyanin, he would devote Special attention development of dialogue with the population, he could build communications more successfully and, as a result, would receive a successful election campaign in one of the most protests Russian regions. In the Moscow region, the situation is the opposite, Andrei Vorobyov became too carried away with the creation of communication means - public chambers, forums, portals, movements, spending a significant part of the budget on them, without any real return. Perhaps Poltavchenko’s candidacy would be more appropriate in the Moscow region than in St. Petersburg.

The third possible candidate is Mikhail Men, Minister of Construction of the Russian Federation, ex-governor of the Ivanovo region. Interestingly, in 2000, Men, together with Governor Boris Gromov, was elected to the post of vice-governor of the Moscow region, from where two years later he went to work at the Moscow City Hall, becoming Yuri Luzhkov’s deputy. Despite his outward good nature, the former member of the Yabloko party, when he was the head of the Ivanovo region, proved himself to be a very authoritarian manager, tightening the screws in domestic politics to the limit. I still have good contact with people close to the ex-governor of the Moscow region, so his first deputy in the Ministry of Construction is Leonid Stavitsky, Gromov’s brother-in-law. In other words, Mikhail Men is quite a tough manager, capable of bringing the reform of local self-government to completion, and he may well find consensus with the local elites, since they were mainly formed under Gromov. He is also capable of pursuing the interests of large companies in the region. construction companies, since as head of the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation he actually oversees their activities. On the other hand, as the head of the Ivanovo region, he did not show his best side.

The most interesting candidate among possible successors is Radiy Khabirov. Former Deputy Head of the Department for domestic policy The Administration of the President of the Russian Federation, who previously headed the administration of the governor of Bashkiria, recently became head of the Krasnogorsk urban district. According to many experts, this state of affairs seriously strengthened the position of Andrei Vorobyov, although according to other sources, Khabirov’s appointment could have come as a surprise to the governor. Why should the former curator of the State Duma in the AP lead Krasnogorsk, occupying the position of a modest detail in the power mechanism of Vorobyov’s vertical? It is possible that Khabirov has decided to get involved in the game for the throne, while the future of the region as a whole is unclear. It seems that Vladimir Putin, too keen on international politics, has left the fate of a number of governors whose powers will soon end until later. The Moscow region is among the regions for which decisions do not require haste, since Vorobyov’s term of office expires only in a year. It is quite possible that during this time a lot will change and those candidates who are applying for the Moscow region today will already find themselves employed. In this case, Khabirov may well lay claim to the role of successor, as a person who knows the situation from the inside and with experience municipal service. In addition, Radiy Khabirov previously had interests in the region, so the head of the Istrinsky district, Andrei Dunaev, is considered his protégé. In the end, if things don’t work out with the Moscow region, the mayorship in Krasnogorsk is a good springboard for a career in executive power, for example, as a successor to the head of Bashkiria.

Of course, the question of the possible departure of Andrei Vorobyov will be decided based on strategic plans the Kremlin for the further development of regional policy. It is no secret that there is a plan to unite Moscow and the Moscow region into a single region. Allegedly, it is for this purpose that a large-scale reform of local self-government is being carried out to transform districts into urban districts. At the same time, it is obvious that the Moscow City Hall alone will not be able to cope with the development of such a gigantic territory. Having failed to really “chew” even New Moscow, it would be strange to aim at creating an entire Moscow principality, with a colossal budget, but at the same time with a colossal heap of problems. Most likely, the merger will proceed long years and gradually, starting from the merger of the transport and road network, to the annexation of territories close to the city.

Since March, various media outlets, bloggers, and journalists, when discussing insiders from the Presidential Administration, have also pointed to the Governor of the Moscow Region, Andrei Vorobyov, as a replacement for Governors. Almost all commentators agree that Andrei Vorobyov overdid it with the reform of local self-government, drove municipal districts into urban districts, abolished direct elections of heads of municipal formations, redistributed powers for construction and land use, creating an ephemeral Urban Planning Council, quarreled with both locals and federal elites.

The most amazing thing is that Andrei Yuryevich was awarded “temporary” status in the very first weeks, they thought he wouldn’t survive. It turned out that the godson of the Minister of Defense not only served 4 years, but also broke the entire management system in the Moscow region. So new rumors can also serve as a simple game under the carpet in order to solve personal business interests.

Rumors intensified immediately after Vladimir Putin’s direct line, where almost live The Balashikha landfill was closed. Immediately after this, the media began writing mocking headlines: “The governor of the Moscow region went to the dump after a direct line with the president.” Telegram channels also started talking about possible resignation:

Davydov-index (45 thousand readers) + Alexey Venediktov (25 thousand readers)

Nezygar (60 thousand readers)

The possible resignation of Andrei Vorobyov was actively discussed at the end of May, 3 months before the September elections; apparently, something went wrong and the resignation was cancelled. And we can assume with almost complete confidence that this is due to the fact that instability in the Moscow region on the eve of Vladimir Putin’s elections will definitely not play into his hands. Next elections will take place in a year in 2018, at the same time Andrei Vorobyov’s term of office ends - 5 years. And the Kremlin’s policy regarding the timing of resignations of Governors is well known and is no secret: replacement 3-10 months before the elections, so that new Governor got used to it, got promoted and people got used to it. In short, if he does not leave before the election of the President and remains after the inauguration of the GDP, then Andrei Yuryevich will have a second term.

But let's imagine for now that Andrei Yuryevich left. Politics in the Moscow region will not change, there is too much money circulating here, so the only question is about personalities: who will replace Vorobyov? Various “sofa” and not so analysts name several successors to Andrei Vorobyov:

Alexander Beglov– Plenipotentiary Envoy of the President in the Central Federal District, a person extremely close to Vladimir Putin from his work in St. Petersburg.

Mikhail Men– Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services. Mikhail Men is a long-time friend of the State Duma deputy from Korolev, Pushkino, Krasnoarmeysk Sergei Pakhomov.

Sergey Neverov – vice-speaker State Duma, son-in-law of his mother-in-law, who has a dacha in Istra

Radiy Khabirov– Head of the Krasnogorsk urban district. It was his federals (and not Vorobyov) who appointed to govern Krasnogorsk after the incident with the Krasnogorsk shooter

In addition to these candidates, the media names Andrei Vorobyov as possible successors: Georgy Poltavchenko- Head of St. Petersburg, Igor Albin, Ruslan Khadzhismelovich Tsalikov- Deputy Minister of Defense, Evgeny Moskvichev and even Anastasia Rakova- Deputy Mayor of Moscow.

And the Head of the city district, Korolev, is considered one of Andrei Vorobyov’s successors. Alexandra Khodyreva. True, one of the requirements for candidates for the post of Governor is age. Alexander Nikolaevich celebrated his 60th birthday last year.

How will this affect Korolev? It depends who comes. But it’s too early to talk about this yet.

So now live with this.
