high-profile criminal case about custom-made murder against the Governor of Khabarovsk territory Sergey Furgala is an explanation for the detention and dismissal of the Federal level. The locals stories about the redistribution of market Vtorchermet has been discussed for about fifteen years as. Nevertheless, in 2018, the year it was Sergei Furgal was able to get around Vyacheslav Shport, which was supported by the Center, more than 40%. He began to protest, but publicly supported by the Governor. And interestingly, over the past almost two years, his rating in the region, almost fell.
If you listen to the analysts, it turns out that during his work Furgal, couldn’t get the edge on a flat road of sustainable development. For example, the Director of the consulting centre “Expert Group” Pavel Nalivaiko believes that Furgal did not create the program of development of territory, and nearly two years was engaged in “patching up holes”. Former Deputy Minister of international and interregional cooperation of the region Alexey Demichev also believes that Furgal is not used, the economic potential of the region, because neither he nor his team were not understanding of “where to go”. But politicians and analysts think big, accusing Furgala, in fact, that he was a bad strategist. But the inhabitants of the region along with its small steps, recognizing that he was a persuasive tactician. Experts call it “populism,” but the Governor of Khabarovsk Krai – active populist.
In the first year he has achieved the grace of air travel for residents of remote areas of the region, reducing the ticket price from 13 to 4.5 thousand rubles. Retired regional reduced fare on bus and railway transport. Students were provided with free hot meals, engaged in the development of medical and obstetric centres and clinics in rural areas, actively engaged in the solution of the problem of defrauded co-investors, reducing the number of not receiving paid housing 4671 to 761 person. Began implementation of the program of resettlement of dilapidated and emergency housing. The spectacular “a populist measure” Furgala – cutting costs of the bureaucracy. First, was reduced to the state officials instead of 19 deputies of the head region, left 9. Decreased and salaries of staff themselves and their zamam Furgal cut wages in half. Was limited to travel expenses and so forth. As a result of all over year savings on official reached 1 billion rubles. All of these steps, of course, are not related to large-scale development plans of the region, but they are visible to residents who don’t study economic calculations, and feel these “small steps” for yourself.
However, after a year of muddling Furgal and his managers began to think about serious projects. And I must say, these developments are all relished. For example, deciding the fate of the defeatedKhabarovsk’s roads, Furgal ordered the loggers whose timber and crumbled slopes, contain these same roads. And to make it clearer, to start completely blocked for heavy traffic one popular tracts. The design was taken a draft on the transport timber by rail, not highways. Has undergone changes and investment policy. It was decided to review incentives in the mining of precious metals, because these “favors” for high-profitable business, the region received less taxes several billion rubles. To deprive of tax privileges were requested and companies that sell oil and other highly profitable firms. “In five years we have received less in the budget of 13 billion rubles, and this money from hospitals, schools, roads, social sphere. We have to consider everything carefully to see,” explained their actions by the Governor. According to the Senator from Khabarovsk territory Sergey penniless, working on a post of the Governor Furgala was more effective: “he worked on reducing the national debt, optimized the costs in different areas, cut the “gray schemes””…So that probably is quite those who would like to after fifteen years surfaced some high-profile cases, which would be demolished, “the Governor-populist” from the floor.
