Volodin Duma

Since October 5, Vyacheslav Volodin is a new speaker of the State Duma. What other rearrangements are waiting for parliament, who will take the posts of vice-spikers and chairmen of committees and how this will change the face of the lower house-the New Times sorted out

There was no reason to doubt that it was Volodin who will lead the Duma of the seventh convocation: Vladimir Putin recommended supporting the first deputy head of the presidential administration to all parties who went to parliament, those proposal accepted. Volodin was praised by the United Russia, and the Communists, and the Socialist -Revolutionaries, and the LDPR. Even the human rights activist, the head of the Moscow Helsinki group Lyudmila Alekseev, spoke approvingly at him. One way or another, the post of State Duma speaker with his arrival will clearly become more public: the native of the special services, Sergei Naryshkin, preferred international activity, Volodin - he even loved to communicate with journalists at an important post in the Kremlin.

Jar was reduced

The same media deputies from the part of United Russia - Irina Yarovaya and TV presenter Peter Tolstoy will surround the public speaker. The initiatives of Yarovo are known to everyone, and Tolstoy’s programs are known to keep the programs of programs. The interaction with civil society and the media will oversee Peter Tolstoy. Previously, EP in the field of such interaction was represented by no less colorful figures - Andrei Isaev and Sergey Zheleznyak, but they did not receive reassignment.

The first vice-speaker from the EP, as before, will be Alexander Zhukov, the Communist Party of the Communist Party again delegates the first deputy chairman in the last conviction of Ivan Melnikov. The ordinary “vice” will be Igor Lebedev (LDPR) and Olga Epifanova (“Fair Russia”).

“Volodin will have to save the State Duma from the image of a“ frantic printer ”and return confidence in the institution of parliamentarism, his role will be higher than that of Sergei Naryshkin,” says political strategist Dmitry Fetisov. “It is logical that the team is formed under this task through key positions.”

The appointment of Irina Yarova, according to the interlocutor of the magazine, looks, "rather an exception that confirms the rule." “In the State Duma, she can play the role of a kind of“ bad policeman ”, but we will not see the previous shocking from her,” says Fetisov. He believes that Peter Tolstoy will also receive his role - “talking head”: “Tolstoy will become a constant commentator of the decisions of the State Duma and the conductor between the State Duma and the public.”

But according to political scientist Alexei Makarkina, the appointment of Irina Yarova looks like a decrease: "The post of the head of one of the key committees is more important." True, the decrease, Makarkin clarifies, is by no means connected with the criticism of Yarovaya by the opposition: “She with her“ package ”came into conflict with influential groups - with operators and retailers - people suffer financial losses,” the expert argues.

Opium for the communist

No less rotation has undergone the leadership of the Duma committees. Half of them (13 out of 26), the United Russia was handed over to other Duma fractions, despite the fact that they themselves received 343 out of 450 possible seats in parliament. At the same time, the number of committees, in comparison with the previous convocation, was reduced by 4. Under the sequestration, in particular, the Committee on the Constitutional Legislation of United Russia Vladimir Pligin, who was not found in the new convocation of the parliament. The new united structure (constitutional legislation was united with criminal and civil) was headed by United Russia Pavel Krasheninnikov, a native of the ATP. By the way, it was discussed that the committee could be headed by Irina Yarovaya, but she was eventually provided with a higher but less influential position.

Sergey Gavrilov (Communist Party) will lead the Committee on Public Associations and Religious Organizations. The appointment of the Communist for this position looks like an evil joke, but Gavrilov led a group in the last convocation with a group to protect Christian values

Vyacheslav Nikonov retained the post of head of the Committee on Education and Science, and this also looks like a conservative, but not a radical step: against the background of the Minister of Education Olga Vasilyeva, the grandson of Molotov looks like a man of quite free views. The preservation of the post of head of the Committee on Culture also looks from the side of Stanislav Govorukhin - after all, it was discussed that he could be headed by the editor of the newspaper and the Culture portal Elena Yampolskaya, known for his sympathies for Stalin and Frantic Orthodoxy. The budget committee and the official liberal Andrei Makarov reserved.

4 of the 13 committees were in the hands of the status “folk front -line soldiers” - the ONF, we recall, is considered the project of Vyacheslav Volodin: Olga Timofeeva will be headed by the Committee on Ecology (previously the sphere of her interests were the media), Nikolai Nikolaev - in natural resources, property and land relations, Dmitry Morozov will oversee health care, and Olga Steanova, will take the lead Committee on Regulations. “This shows the role of ONF in the State Duma,” comments political strategist Dmitry Fetisov. Aleksey Makarkin also notes a relatively significant share of the Volodinsky front -line soldiers.

Infrastructure committees remained in their previous hands - Evgeny Moskvichev will be engaged in transport, energy - Pavel Zavalny. The head of the Committee on Nationalities will change - he will become Ildar Gilmutdinov.

But the permutations on the power flank talk about the tightening of the course-the defense committee will be headed by the former commander of the Airborne Forces Vladimir Shamanov, on security-the ex-ZAM Alexander Bastrykin and his closest associate Vasily Piskarev.

In the ranks of the heads of committees of opposition factions, unexpected castling occurred. The former head of the Committee on Property from the Communist Party, Sergei Gavrilov, will lead the Committee on Public Associations and Religious Organizations. The appointment of the Communist for this position looks like an evil joke, but Gavrilov led a group in the last convocation with a group to protect Christian values. He suggested that Turkey return the Aiya-Sofia mosque to the Orthodox, and the Pokemon catcher in the temple of Yekaterinburg intended to oblige to undergo the course of the foundations of the Orthodox culture. Also, the Communists got the Agrarian Committee (Vladimir Kashin), on family and children (Vera Ganzya), in regional politics (Nikolai Kharitonov) and on the CIS (Leonid Kalashnikov).

The Committee on International Policy can be considered the acquisition of the LDPR - Leonid Slutsky will lead them. The most foreign policy, however, does not bode well: Slutsky is known as a great lover of unrecognized republics in the CIS countries

The Committee on International Policy can be considered the acquisition of the LDPR - Leonid Slutsky will lead them. The most foreign policy, however, does not bode well: Slutsky is known as a great lover of unrecognized republics in the CIS countries. Also in the assets of the Party of the Zhirinovsky Committee on Social Policy (Yaroslav Nilov), Youth Policy (Mikhail Degtyarev), on federal policy (Alexei Didenko), on economy politics (Sergey Zhigarev).

Socialist -Revolutionaries have the least three committees. Leonid Levin, who always acted in the direction of the government’s decisions, will be engaged again in the information policy - a single -mandate district was even cleared from competitors from United Russia. The Housing Committee of the Housing and Public Utilities, Galina Khovanskaya, and her Sopartian Anatoly Aksakov was reserved to the financial markets committee.

The king failed

Such figures, such as the already mentioned Elena Yampolskaya, a fighter with LGBT, Truck and common sense Vitaly Milonov, singer Donbass, writer Sergey Shargunov and former Krimea prosecutor Natalya Poklonskaya, did not receive leading posts. “Work horses go to lead the committees - this fits into Volodin’s tasks to increase confidence in parliament, therefore, for example, there was no position of chairman for Poklonskaya,” says Dmitry Fetisov.

However, Alexei Makarkin believes that the separation of posts in the thought of the seventh convocation “does not carry” the message from power. “In my opinion, there was no task to put moderate ones, the distinction is moderate - the radical was not a watershed,” says the political scientist. - It was about specific figures. Yampolskaya could only be appointed if Stanislav Govorukhin refused to refuse. The deputies would have supported the Yampolskaya without any problems, but it is impossible to offend the respected person who headed the president’s headquarters. Govorukhin wanted to stay and stayed. " When distributing posts, Makarkin is sure, were guided by pragmatics: “They proceeded from specific figures - who needs to be respected, who is more appropriate.” But Natalia Poklonskaya, for example, a political scientist with difficulty imagines the head of the committee as the head of the committee: “This is an image figure. And after its exit to the Immortal Regiment with a portrait of Nicholas II, they began to treat her with caution. ”
