The solitaire has developed
On July 28, Russian President Vladimir Putin made a number of personnel permutations at the level of heads of regions, federal districts and federal departments. In total, 14 people affected the permutation.
In particular, the media drew attention to the fact that the president appointed the governor of Sevastopol Sergey Chanyilo as his plenipotentiary representative in the Siberian Federal District, relieving Nikolai Rogozhkin from this position. And the deputy head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Dmitry Ovsyannikov was sent to the place of Chanastopol.
The opinions of experts about what happened, expressed in the media and social networks, vary from "Putin gave a signal to the initiates" to "nothing unusual, Putin has repeatedly made packages of personnel decisions." According to many experts, some of these decisions have long been related.
Politanalist Mikhail Vinogradov, president of the St. Petersburg Politics Foundation, on his page on the social network Facebook appreciated what happened as follows:
Vinogradov Mikhail“Science conspirology teaches us that everything is not just like that. And what if a package of decisions is made, then this is in order to give a signal. And at the same time - in order to send the maxillary allegedly the main signal so that only the initiates understand the real signal. About as with the National Guard.
If I were a statesman, I would say that the purpose of everything is to distract attention from the decision on customs and not to create a new case to Serdyukov. If a human rights activist is that this is a way to distract attention from something evil, or a future war with Ukraine, or at worst from the acquittal of Bukovsky.
If I professed the political bureaucratic picture of the world, I would have said about the new redundancy - the FSB and the FSO also received their governors (which is not easy - for they are not particularly inclined to take responsibility at all and in the territories where the ruins were left - especially), and in contrast to Rotenberg, Nikolai Egorov’s support is intensified in the Kirov region, as well as appetites for appetites. "Bashneft"). And something about the fact that the Lake Cooperative is replaced by the Valdai community (since the Kaliningrad governor of RBC also seemed to find a cottage there).
But this is someday later, when I decide with my political identity.
In the meantime, I just remember that in April 2014 everyone wrote about the arrival of the now dismissed envoy to the North Caucasus Federal District and the Siberian Federal District-that here it is, the advance of the shoulder strap on the authorities and that it would be mega-power structures in the future war. Then this did not happen, the envoy with shoulder straps in two years was pleased - and leaving future historians to guess what kind of signal it was and what is the meaning of the disguise. ”
Politanalist and political strategist Abbas Gallyamov on his Facebook page noted :
Abbas Gallamov“Still, Putin has forgotten how to surprise. To appoint a policeman and Chekist by governors - this inspires. And in general, in my opinion, this is good. So far, the security forces are accustomed to contrast themselves with "civilian". We, they say, patriots, the country is holding on us, and you are all corrupt officials and bribe takers. So let them work on Earth, let their patriotism and professionalism prove their business. Let them attract investments, they will reduce the budget deficit, they will raise the standard of living.
Maybe when the next time the security forces of the next “Spring package” will come up with, one of the currently governor former colleagues will call and say: “Listen, end with nonsense to suffer. You come up with there, and we will puff here for you.”
I would also pay attention to the fact that both Kaliningrad and Yaroslavl are protest territories. There is a strong request to update. The appointment of new people there, the power is largely leveled, and the request for the update satisfies: "The old one, of course, was bad, but here the new one came. We will wait, let's see how it will do it." To protest against a person whom you do not know and who just came, it seems stupid. He is definitely not to blame for your problems.
In principle, the same can be said about the entire package of today's permutations. The voter is tired of old elites and wants updates. So they offer him a "personnel revolution." While there is trust in the leader, such things really inspire people. It will be bad when the trust ends.
And yes! Justice triumphed in Sevastopol. Channel was removed. "
Commenting on some aspects of the "Day of Big Crossings", political scientist Ekaterina Shulman expressed the following opinion:
Ekaterina Shulman“In fact, there is nothing particularly important in all this. Let the Sevastopol showdows excuse the Sevastopols themselves (there will be no direct elections, against this background, the outstanding difference between Channel and Chally is noticeable only to themselves), transplanting from governors to the envoy and, on the contrary, is also small news, as well as the unification of the districts (then you can again disconnect, as it was with the allocation of the North Caucasus FOR).
It should be noted that with the resignation of the head of the FCS, I was right (but here, honestly, there is no need for a big mind), but with the changer it is not quite - it was still another general, and not a technical customs officer (by analogy with Russian Railways). Too big money, firstly, and secondly, borderline, a risk zone. ”
The fact that the personnel permits of the “Great Clockwork Day” did not particularly change anything, the historian, the political science and publicist Valery Solovy, who designated his attitude to the situation from the statements of Russian President Boris Yeltsin, is inclined.
"" That is the general that this "
(Boris Yeltsin)
And better on the anger of the day and you can’t say, ”he wrote.
About how the role of governors changed over time in Russia, and about what can be expected in connection with the latest rearrangements is reflected in the politicalalytic Gleb Kuznetsov. In his opinion, the very principle of approach to regional administration has once again changed.
Gleb Kuznetsov“Old-timers remember that once the position of the governor was completely“ administrative ”. President's position. I went to Yeltsin, got a label. He returned to the governor.
Years were going, it was getting dark. And during the "Chubais reform" the position of the governor became "political". That is, you, even having an appropriate reputation and taking on the public brand "Strong business executive", went with this brand to the elections and headed - forced - "political power" in your region.
Under early Putin, "vertical politicization" came into fashion. That is, for success, you should not represent the region in Moscow, but the president. "The choice of the president is the support of the Uryupins" and all this. This differed from the previous stage. The regions before - this was visible in the OVR, and in the Communist Party - did not rely on Moscow politically, but, on the contrary, strengthened one or another part in it with their resource.
The movement towards the "choice of the president" ended with the abolition of the governor's elections of everyone with a heartbreak. With an explanation of the concept that the governor is not a political figure, but a controller and business executive, whom the policy should not distract. Region manager. A standard "appointed" was also a federal official and an officer.
More years have passed. The "political governors" returned to us again. The elections returned. A lot has been said about the "political component" in the work of the governor. Deputies of the State Duma, political nominees, including opposition parties, took positions. In EDG 2015, the first oppositionist won. Moreover, the battles went for the right to be “political” - before our eyes, the story of Kadyrov, who achieved the right to go to the elections and achieved him. Well, a number of governors were intriguing to lead their tergroups in the elections to the State Duma and lists in the elections in the WC.
And in the midst of the election campaign, we see a series of appointments of federal (various origin and history, but federal) officials in uniform and without them that a) can clearly “go to the polls”, find political legitimacy and status now (although if everything had passed a month ago, they would go and overturned) and b) are neither representatives of regional elites, nor political leaders.
So far, this looks like a revival of the tradition of a ten-year ago-the governor- "The Hand of Moscow", a clear deja vu. What will happen next? Either the regional political trend - including the provision of the opposition regions - will be completely folded and we will go in a circle, or there will be some coexistence of trends. The country of the oprichnina - the governors -Federals in uniform and without will be a gloomy reminder of the vague of the whole country of the land, where the governors are recruited from political nominees and regional elites - "if you yourself are not able to pursue the right policy, then Comrade will come to the general and explain." In general, this logic looks appropriate for our managerial school. And more elegant than eternal campaign, ever, or everything is like that.
In general, the wheel of the approach to the regional administration was once again checked. Where the cart will go - in a circle or forward - we will see, ”he concluded.
Political scientist Alexander Kynev spoke about the evolution of the regional management mechanism, but in the part of the Institute of Embassy, in an interview with the Medusa online publication. He recalled that the position of plenipotentiary of the president in the district was introduced in 2000.
Alexander Kynev“The point was that the regional elites intensified - and the center began systemic work to weaken them. She walked in several planes. Firstly, in a personnel basis: there was a rotation of the leaders of power structures. Secondly, regional laws were actively brought into line with federal ones. And thirdly, the question of changing powers [governors] was standing. The envoy had to coordinate this work; First of all, they interacted with the local security forces.
In the future, especially after the cancellation of the election of governors, the influence of the envoy has sharply decreased. In 2004-2008, it was assumed that they participated in regional appointments, but the key regions were still made in Moscow, ”he explained.
On his Facebook page, he commented on personnel permutations by a number of brief jokes: “Appreciate your governors, remember that it could be worse”, “A small summary-completion to one move today: it is strong, it will withstand!”
Previously, Kynev wrote , he does not see anything in what is happening except attempts by elite groups to advance his representatives into power: “Pure Parkinson - every official seeks to expand the sphere of his competence. What an elite group is in force, she takes the opportunity to advance their representatives to the emerging positions, fill out the emerging voids. No other obvious meaning and need to resign (except for the resignation of Channel) is not visible. ”
Political analyst Yevgeny Mintinko, Director of the International Institute of Political Expertise, President of the Committee for Political Technologies of the Russian Association for Public Relations, commented on the “Nomenclature Day” for a number of media, expressing the opinion that the president simply made a package that had accumulated in a fairly long time of decision.
Evgeny Mingchenko “The solitaire just developed. The solutions were prepared, some were nailed.
It is clear, for example, that the same (the dismissed governor of the Yaroslavl region Sergey) Yastrebov has been in limbo for two years now.
It is clear that it was necessary to somehow resolve the conflict situation in the Crimea. It is clear that after the arrest of the whites, it was necessary to put someone in his place.
It is clear that after a search of Belleninov, he could not remain the head of the customs service.
Here, in general, in the end, everything overlapped one another.
This is not the first time that all sorts of permutations are immediately accepted by a package. Putin loves such decisions.
If we take it comprehensively, then we see the strengthening of the FSB groups and the Federal Security Service - the FSB, probably, to a greater extent than the FSO, ”he quoted his own comment on the BBC in his blog.
“Still, this is a certain package. We can talk about strengthening in power structures. On the one hand, the FSB, on the other hand, the FSO, because of the two newly appointed governors there is only one - the head of the regional department of the FSB, the other is formally deputy minister of the internal affairs, but this is a native of Zolotov’s team, who came there with Zolotov from the FSO. And we see that this is the third person associated with the FSO group, who comes to the governor's post.
At the same time, we see that quite serious rotations are taking place at the level of envoy. Belaventsev proved himself well in the Crimean district and is now leaving for a potentially problematic North Caucasus.
But in general, I think that this whole series of personnel permutations suggests that it is probably not the time to write off the institute of the presidential envoy, although it seemed that everything was going on, and, apparently, the strengthening of this foreign policy tension was setting new tasks for the envoy, first of all, preserving the territorial integrity of the country.
We see the same appointment of a representative of the FSB, say, to the post of Governor of Enclave in the Kaliningrad region, ”he said in an interview with the online publication Bfm.ru.
And in his own blog, he summed up the results in this way:
“Clot of shares: Zolotov and the FSO group, Sergey Ivanov, FSB, Chaika, Sechin (expanding the area of responsibility of Ustinov).
Promotions down: Bastrykin.
It needs to be clarified: Shoigu, Chemezov. ”
