Medvedev instructed to transfer a number of offices of large state corporations to the Far East

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev instructed the government to develop the issue of transferring offices of large state corporations to the Far East. The head of the Cabinet of Ministers voiced his initiative after the instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin about the need to develop the Far Eastern region in his message to the Federal Assembly.

It is planned to transfer to the Far Eastern Federal District the offices of large companies with state participation, Yuri Trutnev, Vice -Prime Minister - Presidential President - Presidential Prime Minister - Presidential Prime Minister - Presidential Prime Minister. “We are talking about the transfer of head offices, the transfer of working personnel, and in the case of state -owned companies about the transfer of the tax base to the Far East,” the official said after the meeting with the Prime Minister for the development of the Far East.

The Deputy Prime Minister did not clarify about the transfer of which companies in the Far Eastern region are discussed. According to Trutnev, first the relevant proposals will be submitted by the government of the government. It is planned to prepare them for the next meeting in the Far East, which will take place in a month. Answering the clarifying questions of journalists, Tintnev said that he "he heard nothing" about the possibility of transferring the capital to the Far East with the aim of the priority development of the region. "

At the same time, the Ministry of Health of the Far East and two specialized non-profit agencies for the development of the region proposes to create the company, ITAR-TASS, citing materials from the press service of the Russian government to the Prime Minister on the creation of the territories of ahead of development (Thor) in the Far Eastern Federal District. “Along with financing from the federal budget, the Ministry of Economics of Russia proposes to create new development institutions in addition to the current, the Far East, ANO (Autonomous Non -Profit Organization)“ Agency for attracting investment and support for the export of the Far East ”, ANO“ The Agency for the Development of the Human Capital of the Far East, ”the materials said.

- "No need to develop - we must stop robbing" - resources for the development of the Far East - "quite modest"

Despite the nebula of plans for the development of the Far East, the government is already coordinating the estimate. "Investments in the creation of development institutions today are estimated at 170 billion rubles. The Ministry of Finance and I began work on analyzing the opportunity to allocate such funds," Trutnev told reporters.

Recall that the Ministry of Development of the Far East, which appeared in Russia back in 2012, should coordinate the implementation of state programs and federal targeted programs, including long -term. The department is located in Moscow and Khabarovsk. Some time after the emergence of the new ministry, Putin abolished the state commission on the socio-economic development of the Far East, Buryatia, the Trans-Baikal Territory and the Irkutsk Region, without calling the specific reasons for its liquidation.

The development of the Far East is a task for the entire XXI century

The initiative of the Ministry of Health of the Liberal Platform of United Russia, the head of the party project "National Innovation System", Viktor Zubarev, has already paid attention to the initiative of the Ministry of Health. In his opinion, the creation of institutions listed by the department should promote the achievement of the target guide determined by Vladimir Putin in the message to the Federal Assembly on December 12, 2013 - to create in Eastern Siberia and the Far East the territories of a pre -distant economic development, the official website of the EP says.

However, according to the member of the party in power, the “technocratic” concept proposed by the Ministry of Health, should be supplemented by a wider, following from the President’s Epistle, an ideological strategy that will determine the development of the Far East as a task for the entire 21st century. Zubarev recalled that within the framework of the party project "National Innovation System", an expert discussion of the concept of the development of the territories of Eastern Siberia and the Far East in the format of the "Factory of Thoughts" is already being carried out. “We intend to attract regional experts and practitioners to this process,” the United Russia concluded.

Resources for the development of the Far East - "quite modest"

It should be noted that in the message of the President of Russia, which officials refer to, speaking of the development of the Far Eastern region, it was said about the creation of the territory of advanced development in the Far East and the provision of all kinds of benefits of the Far Eastern Federal District in this connection. In particular, Putin called for a five -year tax vacation for income, personal income tax, land and property taxes, a preferential rate of insurance premiums. The President expressed confidence that the "reversal of Russia to the Pacific Ocean" will provide the state with new opportunities in the economy, as well as in foreign policy. All work related to the development of the region, the head of state asked Medvedev to take under personal control.

Some time after Putin’s instructions, Prime Minister Medvedev made it clear in one of his speeches that funds were limited to implement the Far East Development Program, PrimaMedia reported. “We are doing a lot of the Far East now, and it is very important for us to form the right institutional environment there so that we can really properly distribute our resources, sometimes modest, and nevertheless try to turn the region into a fading development,” the head of government said.

"No need to develop - we must stop robbing"

Despite those sprinkled from all power structures about the need to create more and more institutions for the development of the Far East, reinforcing this process of the corresponding ideological base, there is also a fundamentally different point of view on this issue. According to the State Duma deputy Valery Zubov and the director of the Center for Studies of the post -industrial company Vladislav Inozemtsev, who published an article in Vedomosti , you just need to send enough funds to the region, which instead go to secondary goals like organizing the Olympiad with an unprecedented scope, as well as reduce taxes on business activities.

"Siberia should develop. But it is not necessary to develop. Now Siberia and the Far East are generated by about 390 out of $ 527 billion of Russian exports. No corporations, ministries and embassies will not return funds to the region, which end up to Sochi, Chechnya and power structures," the authors of the material are convinced.

According to the deputy and the expert, "if we want to see the eastern part of Russia more developed, we must stop robbing it." “And for this, philosophy and philosophers are not needed. Submissions are enough. Siberia needs freedom. First of all, the freedom of entrepreneurship, because only business can develop territories, and not those who share taxes collected from entrepreneurs,” the authors of the article said.

Foreign investors participate in the development of the region

If we pay attention to the current trends in the development of the Far East, then a strange feature is clarified: at present, the benefits of agricultural production in the created special economic zones (SEZs) in Russia are more often obtained by foreign investors than domestic ones. However, according to the statements of officials, "doors to special economic zones for Russian investors are always open." But for some reason, the Japanese, Koreans and Chinese go to these "doors", writes Slon.ru.

The Japanese have already managed to sow soil and buckwheat in the Amur Region. Now foreign investors are preparing proposals to create special economic zones that guarantee benefits in the Khabarovsk and Primorsky Territories. The sizes of zones are still unclear, but residents will definitely receive benefits.

“The question remains open, why give benefits to foreign investors,” the publication notes. The President of the Russian Grain Union Arkady Zlochevsky complains that if the benefits were given to ours, then they would also stretch to the Far East.
