"We will choose!"

In the Arkhangelsk region, it is necessary to maintain direct elections of the governor. Thus, many deputies of the Legislative Assembly of Pomerania, including deputies of the United Russia faction, believe. They spoke about this in an interview with Reginum.

The vice speaker of the Antonin Drachev meeting is sure that there will be no change in the models of the election of the head of the subject in the region. "I am sure that there will be no changes. In the Arkhangelsk region today the most liberal model of the election of the governor. Of course, we can refuse it due to changes, but at the moment this issue is not even discussed," she said.

Another vice speaker Alexander Polikarpov believes that "elections through the legislative assemblies are more suitable for the southern republics, where the situation is not so stable." “In our region, the elections should be straight and open. It will be good for authority of power,” he said. “By the way, the Arkhangelsk region consists of such a large number of areas that the figure of the governor is of particular importance here as the figure of the head of the district. Still, it is important who controls the process. Therefore, you can be a good responsible deputy, and will still be rested with the effects of the municipal municipal power ".

Political scientist Andrei Churakov believes that the fate of the model of choosing the governor in the region will decide the parliamentary elections that will be held on September 8. “The appointment of governors was introduced in order to prevent the collapse of the country and not to let the crime into power. I can responsibly say that during this period in the Arkhangelsk region there was an order of magnitude more. As for the collapse of the country, it is enough to look at what is happening in Dagestan under the appointed governor,” he said. “According to some reports, after the elections, the governor of our region hopes for 90%. The renewal of the regional parliament is absolutely solid with it.

However, other observers believe that such deputy unanimity is not least connected with the personality of the current governor Igor Orlov.

Recall, on April 2, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law that gives the regions the right to abandon direct elections of governors. According to the new rules, the constituent entities of the Russian Federation will be able to replace direct elections with the procedure for the election of the head of the region by deputies of the regional Legislative Assembly from among the candidates introduced by the president on the proposal of political parties.
