Cancellation of mayoral elections: for or against?
A bill has been introduced to the State Duma that would abolish direct elections of heads of large cities. The reform will affect 67 cities, which, like Tomsk, are divided into districts. According to the amendments, the mayor will be appointed from among the deputies and head the City Duma, and the city manager will be responsible for the economy. At the same time, the Duma will be formed from representatives of regional parliaments.
