Sergey Mironov, leader of the Fair Russia faction:
“The appointment is something logical, but not very much. What is the logic: Andrei Vorobyov is the son of Yuri Vorobyov, the deputy at one time Shoigu, and in this connection, I think, the continuity of the Shoigu personnel team, which he brought to the Moscow region, will most likely remain. This was one message. The second message was quite obviously looking for a person who has experience of the election, Vorobyov was elected to the State Duma three times in the State Duma And here, they count on a certain electoral success in the future for Vorobyov, but there is a very interesting nuance - the fact is that for the election 11 months. "United Russia", the parties to which we are opposing, so it is quite obvious - with great enthusiasm we will prepare our candidacy from the Fair Russia party for the post of governor of the Moscow region.
In this State Duma, he headed the United Russia faction, he knows how to speak, I can say that. Being an apologist for United Russia, in my eyes all the negative manifestations of the monopolism of the party in power - they are inherent in Andrei Yuryevich, who believes that he, being the head of the faction, should accordingly behave in relation to other opponents. "
Gleb Pavlovsky, political scientist, former political strategist of the Kremlin:
"There are two factors in the appointment of Vorobyov: one obvious, the other - no. The obvious is that Vorobyov is a protege Shoigu, he himself called Shoigu the godfather. This makes it easier for Putin - Vorobyov work with Shoiga people and there will be no pogrom. The non -obvious factor is not a political figure. It was always considered neat - sometimes successful, sometimes not very - an instructions by.
I think it’s very interesting that the place of such a mastodond of politics as Shoigu is occupied by a recent nominee, closely connected with Shoigu and Surkov himself. This is interesting because Vorobyov is put on the suburbs, which is a part of a very significant, strategically important project for Putin. Moscow and the region are one of the central political scenes for Putin, where he will test and work out people, including applicants to the cohort of his successors. Putin does not need politicians in the suburbs, he needs an appointment as Vorobyov, who will clearly follow the instructions. In a sense, Putin will be the governor of the Moscow Region. "
Evgenia Chirikova, leader of "Movement in defense of the Khimki forest":
"What can be expected from Andrei Vorobyov, only Vorobyov himself knows. I know only one thing about him-when there was an active campaign of ourselves against the opposition, who went to meet the US's ambassador in Russia Michael McFolo, Mr. Vorobyov also went to McFaol. For his visit to Macfol, for some reason, for some reason, Vorobyov, apparently, is possible about activities. I do not know Vorobyeva, but it depends on what he will do now, he can do a lot of things, for example, a massive advance of developers throughout the Moscow Region, which city is the same, the situation is the same - there is a destruction A great chance to show ourselves.
Dmitry Abzalov, leading expert of the analytical department of the Center for the Political Conjuncture of Russia:
"The life path of Vorobyova is thorny - of course, he is connected with the Ministry of Emergencies and Shoigu. His father is one of the founders of the Ministry of Emergencies.
Given the fact that Shoigu took his team to the Ministry of Defense, which works with him with the Ministry of Emergencies, he had to recommend Putin to the post of governor of the Moscow region of his man - Vorobyov.
What is the power of Vorobyov? First of all, in the fact that he has extensive political ties. Of course, his hardware weight is lower than that of Shoigu, in this regard, it will be more difficult for him to resist Sobyanin.
What will be the difficulties of Vorobyov - first of all, with the economy and construction in the region. In addition, he does not have his profile team. There is no one to land on the region. He will have to use Shoigu's personnel or recruit new players. He will most likely do this through the regions, which at one time Shoigu and Sobyanin did.
The main task of Vorobyov in the near future will be preparations for the election of the governor in the fall of 2013 and the completion of the projects that Sobyanin began. The first is Big Moscow (the interests of Moscow and the region are faced with, for example, within the boundaries and payments of compensation that the Moscow Region budget will receive). The second is the issue of taxation. Let me remind you, Shoigu promoted the idea - for taxation to go to the place of residence. Third is a budget issue: it is known that the Moscow region has been experiencing problems with the budget since the time of Gromov. Shoigu set the task to go 1 trillion. These issues will become iconic for Vorobyov.
In addition, Vorobyov will continue to continue the dangerous process, begun by Shoigu - the rotation of the regional elite. Here, as practice shows, problems with a serious level of criminals in the region may arise.
Depending on how sparrows show himself in these matters, it will be decided whether he will become the official successor of Shoigu in the elections or not. Putin will decide on the candidate in the spring of 2013 - Vorobyov has time to show himself and solve the issues that Shoigu began to solve. "
