Konstantin Pulikovsky said that Abramovich “of the ten Far Eastern regional leaders works better than many.” Moreover, according to Pulikovsky, the oligarch is “somewhere in the top three” of regional leaders in the Far East. Despite the fact that Chukotka’s economic situation has indeed improved significantly, until recently the presidential plenipotentiary was confident that Chukotka could develop without Abramovich. It seems that the Kremlin does not intend to deprive the oligarch of his public work.
