Experts: in Moscow they are already sharing Luzhkov’s inheritance, preparing his resignation with the help of scandals

Among the various powerful groups of the capital, the struggle for the inheritance of the mayor of Moscow Yuri Luzhkov sharply aggravated. According to experts, the overclocking of the opposition on the Triumphal Square and the Battle of Kadashi against the backdrop of a relatively peaceful nature of the confrontation between society and the authorities in St. Petersburg are preparing public opinion for changes in the regional government, writes "Independent Gazeta" .

According to the publication, the Public Council at the Ministry of Internal Affairs on Tuesday considered the situation with the cruelty of the police during the dispersal of the disagreements . The Council dismantled the incentive on the bones on the triumph square. In the Moscow Kadashi, where the recently demolished the demolition of houses , which, according to their defenders, had a great cultural value, the confrontation took an acute form. The story was widely replicated.

Member of the Scientific Council of the Moscow Center of Carnegie Nikolai Petrov sees in what is happening "a very complex game, which is now not going on whether Luzhkov remains or not." The main thing, the expert assures how Moscow will look after Luzhkov: "The only question is who will replace it - a representative of which clan. One thing is clear - this figure will be significantly lower in status and independence than the current mayor."

Nikolai Petrov examines all the last scandals in Moscow "through the prism that the security forces would like to put their person there and not allow Luzhkov to do this. Perhaps a representative of the second row of prefects will become his successor." The option under discussion among experts with the advent of the mayor of the White House apparatus Sergei Sobyanin, the expert considers little real: "The status of the next mayor of Moscow is a knowingly lower level." The next mayor, the expert is sure, "will not be a very public and not very famous official. It seems to me that everything goes to the emergence of a representative of the power wing in this post, although a great convention is to consider this wing homogeneous. There are also competing groups."

The director of the Russian and Asian programs of the US defense information center Nikolai Zlobin believes: “The system is built in such a way that it is impossible to really possess power in the country without control over Moscow. The problem here is two main issues. Firstly, there are not many people who want to take on Moscow. Because this question is not only managerial. This is a question - conventionally for Medvedev. It was ideal for Medvedev to find such a person whom he is more likely to trust. The sense of Alexander Voloshin would be perfect. " According to Nikolai Zlobin, Voloshin refused such a proposal, "but not the fact that is completely."

The second problem is that Luzhkov give power and control over financial flows smoothly, without conflict - at least administrative. Because, as you know, our power is panicky afraid of color revolutions. All color revolutions occur only in the capitals, these are metropolitan revolutions. ” Zlobin believes that the solution of this problem "will contribute to the conversion of Moscow into an international financial center - under the leadership of Voloshin."
