Excitements in regions. SolOMONovo the decision.
Excitements in regions. SolOMONovo the decision.
The regional authorities, being unable resolve
Social problems of the population, start to apply force against
Participants of actions of disobedience.
So, in Lipetsk working women of tractor factory, protesting against
Regular delays of wages, took in hostages
The general director. Under instructions of the head of administration of area
Michael Narolina against them the local OMON has been thrown. As a result
Traumas of various severity level have received some working women LTZ.
Elections with small arms application.
The series of regional election campaigns begun in the autumn 1996
Year, proceeds in April 1998 governor's elections in
Lipetsk, Penza, Smolensk areas and Krasnoyarsk region.
In Krasnoyarsk in the beginning of March, while the candidate for governors
Alexander Lebed went to the United States, happens
mordobitie. The local businessman Sergey Zyryanov, entrusted
The person of the little-known candidate in governors of Larissa Nabokovoj,
Has been beaten by unknown persons in the regional House of the actor. On
Press conferences he has accused of an attack of supporters "the iron
The general "which, in turn, have explained incident as
Natural result of a chronic alcoholism of Zyryanov.
The Swan too complicates to itself a life. In particular, it
Regularly Krasnoyarsk region Krasnodar names. Not the smaller
The discontent has called its statement for intention to reorientate
Local grammar school in a military school, and also that women
He has congratulated areas on the International women's day in Day
The defender of Fatherland - on February, 23rd.
In spite of the fact that the representative power nowadays is quoted
Much more low, than the power executive, possession of the deputy
Inviolability and powers transform the regional
Campaigns for elections in local parliaments in shootouts,
Which come to an end with victims among participants. An example - the beginning
Campaigns for elections of deputies of Legislative Assembly
Sverdlovsk area. There already in a debut the active fighting have begun
Actions. On March, 3rd the deputy of Legislative Assembly has been killed,
The known lawyer George Stepanenko applying on
Repeated election. Its colleague, deputy Gennady Arefin, was
It is accused by competitors of bribery and tried to finish a life
Suicide. The deputy by miracle was rescued from bullets of killers
Ekaterinburg gordumy Alexey Veis. It is supposed, that all
These episodes are anyhow connected with a campaign in the power
uralmashevskoj criminal grouping.
Campaign in the power of the representative of a "shadow" life in Bottom
Novgorod in general has alarmed all Russia. Serious blow on
To prestige of the Nizhniy Novgorod power, and also the former governor, nowadays
i.o. First vice-premier Boris Nemtsov there was a victory on elections
The mayor Bottom in the end of March of personal enemy Nemtsov - sudimogo
Businessman Andrey Klimentyev. A management of Russia and
Areas has thought suddenly too late - already after elections
Results have been cancelled under the pretext of infringements in a course
Election campaign, and the winner preprovozhden in prison for
Old sins. Thus Klimentyev has declared, that on the repeated
Elections will win with even big advantage.
Similar, standard definition of sense of the Russian power
Becomes not only "steal", but also "put". To the former governor
To Michael Kisljuku, probably, it will not be possible to the Kemerovo area
To sit out in Moscow on a new official post (after
Resignations by summer of 1997 it have been appointed by the chairman of the commission
On regulation of transport tariffs at the government of the Russian Federation). In
First half of March the Kemerovo regional Office of Public Prosecutor has excited
Against it criminal case upon excess of the official
Powers. It is accused of no-purpose use of 17 billion
Roubles of the coal credit given to a regional management
The world bank of reconstruction and development. Instead of miners
Means from a coal loan has for some reason received molokozavod cities
Myski.
Than dialogue with law enforcement bodies smells, has already learnt
The under examination former head of administration Tula
Areas Nikolay Sevrjugin to whom in April it is shown
Official charge in reception especially large podnosheny and
Illegal storage of fire-arms.
Eh, dubinushkoj we will crash!
Become by event number of one Russian policy the March
Cabinet resignation, and the main thing, premiere Victor
Tchernomyrdin has concerned also regions.
The Russian province in the majority has been fastened"on
Victor Tchernomyrdin who willingly made concessions to governors,
Trying to put in for their a word before the president and softening
Financial and organizational pressure of "young reformers".
Therefore its discharge from control levers economy does not promise
To local leaders of anything good.
Moods prochernomyrdinskoj parts of the governor's case
The influential Samara head has most full expressed
Konstantin Titov. Making comments on personnel revolution in Moscow, it
Has expressed a regret concerning Victor Tchernomyrdin's leaving, having declared,
That fine it was possible to regional heads to find with it
Common language.
In the first days have supported Boris's unexpected initiative
Yeltsin only two - the head of administration of the Saratov area
Dmitry Ayatskov and the mayor of capital Jury Luzhkov.
The first has declared to the newspaper of "Eyelids", that government resignation on it
Region it was not reflected in any way. On TV Ayatskov has directly told, that
Supports the decision of the president and hopes to work well together with Sergey
Kirienko. Clearly, that Ayatskov, in all and always the supporting
The president, at weeding of imperious space can, on the smaller
To measure to count on a high post in Moscow. By the way, Ayatskov
On this bill is silent, but about its Moscow political potential
Constantly the Saratov press writes.
As to Luzhkov it first of all should
To be delighted to "sweep" of old foe Anatoly Chubays.
However in interview of a broadcasting company "TV-centre" the owner of Moscow not only
Has expressed satisfaction Chubays's resignation, but also has accused the retired
Premiere in connivance "criminal activity of the young
Reformers ".
Crisis of the political power in Moscow even more often leads
To open collision of local heads with the federal
Controls. This time the mayor of Moscow Jury Luzhkov
Ignored the decision of the Constitutional court of the Russian Federation about cancellation
Six-monthly limit of registration in capital. Luzhkov publicly
Has declared, that KS, having made of cancelling decision, in exchange has not offered
Anything new so the procedure for registration in Moscow remains
Former while the Moscow City Council will not pass the new regulating law.
And to the governor of Primorski Krai Evgenie Nazdratenko in the beginning of March
It was possible to gain a serious victory not over somebody, and over
The president of Russia. Representative Yeltsin in edge the general of FSB
Victor Kondratov has been deprived emergency powers under the control
For an expenditure of budgetary funds, and it is deprived
The president. The general and has not got access to the necessary
To financial documents of regional administration.
But in the beginning of March the Administrative office of the president of the Russian Federation has recouped
On Sverdlovsk governor Edward Rossel. Having promised
To compensate expenses for reconstruction of the improving
Complex "Small source" where carrying out was supposed
Tripartite meeting Yeltsin - Chirac - Kohl, the Kremlin did not become it
To do. As a result, having enclosed $11 million in repair (this sum quite
Could suffice on payment of debts under the salary to state employees of area),
Rossel has received only one losses. First, has failed widely
The advertised campaign of the Ural meeting of "the big three" -
Having transferred a meeting to Moscow, the Kremlin has painfully struck on prestige
The governor. Secondly, having lost almost $8 million (the centre will pay
Only 1/3 expenses), an area management have even more aggravated the
Financial problems.
Difficult economic and social conditions in regions
To Russia leads to that the regional authorities even more often lose
Self-control also apply force against participants of actions
Civil disobedience. Inexcusable for the skilled politician
The error was made on the eve of 8 Martha and the future elections by the governor
Lipetsk area Michael Narolin. Working women Lipetsk
Tractor factory (the second-large enterprise of area) took
In hostages of the general director, protesting against the regular
Wages delays. Instead of traditional in such cases
Negotiations with workers under instructions of the head of administration of area
Against the protesting the local OMON has been thrown. As a result
Collisions of a trauma of various severity level have received a little
Working women LTZ, that has heated at once conditions in a city and area.
Position of the governor has become complicated that on the party of colleagues with
LTZ has risen influential profkom the Novolipetsky metallurgical
Combine which has a strong lobby in local bodies
Representative and an executive power.
Stood on ceremony with socially protected inhabitants and in
Kalmykias. Here picket of the local has undergone to militian pogrom
The organisations of invalids "From heart to heart", which representatives
Have been beaten by militia in republic Elista capital. All their fault
Consisted in that they peacefully protested against
Catastrophic position of invalids of Kalmykia. Their reference to
To president Kirsanu Ilyumzhinov remained without the answer.
In Samara local authorities have applied force to strikers and
To picketers of factory of a name of Maslennikov, which, demanding money,
Block the central highway of a city. In collision five
Workers were traumatised. However to execute mission OMONu not
It was possible - protest action proceeds, numbers of picketers
Have replenished with new participants.
Moscow sets a return example. Here in protest picket there was a mayor
Cities Jury Luzhkov. In April it has personally taken part in meeting
Near the Latvian embassy, showing solidarity with
The Russian-speaking population of Latvia struggling for the rights.
By the way, not always inhabitants of regions become victims of the authorities
- Happens and on the contrary. So, as a result of four-day strike
Aviadispatchers and technicians from March, 14 till March, 18th
There was cut off from "continent" a president of Yakutia Michael
Nikolaev.
Lukashenko's spot-check on backs of the ally.
The main not taken place sensation of March became widely
The advertised semiofficial visit of the head of rebellious Ichkeria
Aslan Maskhadov to the Great Britain. In days Russian-Chechen
Wars among vajnahov have been for some reason widespread a type myth:
"Britain will help us". Obviously, has affected that the official
London among the European capitals always had a reputation most
Anti-Soviet, and later the most rigid in relation to new Russia.
However it has a little helped the Chechen Republic. Maskhadov's troubles have begun
Already at the airport where it, to be admitted on the earth
Foggy Albion, it was necessary to show the Russian all the same
The passport. Official London has accepted the president of the Chechen Republic as
The leader of the subject of the Russian Federation. An English press almost
Has given to it of attention. However, Maskhadov managed to meet with
Ex-prime minister Margaret Thatcher, however itself "the iron lady" later
Has explained, that conversation with the leader nobody of recognised republic
Was for it no more than the political information about relations of Moscow and
Grozny. In summary the English Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the rigid form has demanded
From Maskhadov immediately to release British citizens,
Pining in Chechen to the captivity as hostages (by the way, they not
Are found till now).
Thus, a unique consolation for the Chechen leader
There were magnificent apartments in "Grosvenor-hotel" for $1200 a day,
Paid by the sponsor of the Chechen delegation lord Makalpajnom.
However, in business of interception of the initiative on North Caucasian
Direction the Kremlin was looked not better. Conceived as
Informal meeting of the president of Russia with the grey-bearded Caucasian
Aksakals, the Kremlin reception has failed not worse Maskhadov's visit
To London. The main thing - there was no delegation from the Chechen Republic, that
Has made a meeting senseless, after all the action has been undertaken
Exclusively for the sake of zamirenija Chechens.
Thus the Chechen Republic not only is not going to to be reconciled with the status
The Russian territory, but also moves ahead to association
North Caucasian region almost under the aegis of Republic
Ichkeria. So, on April, 4th Aslan Maskhadov has collected in Grozny
Extremely representative vsekavkazskoe meeting with participation
Representatives esengeshnogo Transcaucasia which have ignored
Only representatives of Armenia and Krasnodar territory.
It has appeared, what not all governors of the south of Russia it is irreconcilable
Are adjusted in relation to the Chechen Republic - the majority prefers
To co-operate with the neighbour. For example, the head of administration of Stavropol Territory
Alexander Tchernogorov has received from Maskhadov "shortcut" on
Unobstructed transportation of the humanitarian help "to the victim
To the Russian-speaking population of the city of Dzhohar (the former Grozny) ", and
Tbilisi has agreed about end of joint building of the new
Roads between Georgia and the Chechen Republic.
Independent contacts to the near abroad has caused a stir not
Only the Chechen management. Having used confusion in
The Moscow tops, called by government resignation, the president
Belarus Alexander Lukashenko has continued the spot-check on
To the Russian backs, submitting one subject of Federation behind another. So,
In March it with honour has been accepted in Murmansk where has visited
The "presidential" ship "Peter the Great" (in 1996, during time
Pre-election campaign, Boris Yeltsin used this nuclear
Cruiser as a tribune). This time promises distributed already
Lukashenko who has promised to take "on a contentment" Russian
The naval ship and submarine in addition. Then Minsk
The leader has visited Komi where has been accepted by the head of republic Jury
Spiridonov. The definitive arrangement on visit is reached
Friendship in the Yaroslavl area, where Lukashenko from the past end
Year is waited by governor Anatoly Lisitsyn.
At last it is possible to notice, that in second half of March -
The beginning of April power pulling between the centre has become aggravated and
Regional elite. Thus after Victor's resignation
Tchernomyrdin at the centre practically does not remain trustworthy aliens
On places. In turn, spring social pressure in
Regions can strike on local authorities. The Kremlin far,
And the governor and other regional barons can quite become
Some kind of whipping boys for socially angered
The population.
