The Kremlin recognizes that the new circuit of the election of governors proposed by the President of the Russian Federation is not perfect, in this system "a very large risk is laid, but there is no other choice."
“This is not a very good option, but we do not choose from a good life, the corridor for making decisions is very narrow,” a high -ranking source in the Kremlin told reporters.
"The president believes that the direct elections of the governors are needed, he is an idealist and would like us to have azure democracy, but the realities are dictated by another, we should reckon with threats," said the Kremlin spokesman.
At the same time, he emphasized that "all democracies in the world are very different, different models have been adopted in all countries." "Why should we match some kind of model on the textbook?" he asked.
The Kremlin representative emphasized that "there is not a single federation in the world in which there would be national republics, as in Russia," ITAR-TASS reports.
“If in the USA there would be, for example, the African -American Republic with its language, the constitution, how they would build their democracy, probably would come to restrictions in local elections,” the interlocutor said. “We are a very vulnerable country and we must defend ourselves,” he emphasized.
At the same time, a senior official of the Kremlin administration admitted that "the main threat in the introduction of a new system of elections of governors is corruption and traditional Russian non -forth."
"We do not have a real state personnel policy - a search system, support, promotion," he said.
The Kremlin spokesman said that when choosing governors by legislative assemblies, "the capitalization and politicization of local parliamentarians may become increased."
“This is the real danger that the election method is fraught with, you need to be vigilant, to prevent the excessive influence of legislative assemblies,” the official is convinced. He noted that "direct elections also conceal threats - but others."
From the positive moments of the new system, he called the party formation of parliaments.
"Parties will be more actively fighting for places in the Legislative Assembly, in parallel with the new system of elections of governors in Russia, the party system is strengthened," said the Kremlin official.
