What Sobyanin took the Matvienko

Valentina Matvienko powers expire at the end of the year. While that remains intriguing as to whether it will remain for a third term. St. Petersburg observers are inclined to think that a lot of chances - not without reason, Valentina Matvienko as hospitable hostess took part in laying the plant "E-car" in the industrial park, "Marino." In contrast, the Moscow experts believe that the governor of the northern capital in the last year lost a particularly strong resource to support the center. Sergei Sobyanin, on the contrary, their safe-keeping until firm. But took a little over six months since his appointment as Mayor in October 2010. The first steps Sergei Sobyanin expected repeat of Valentina Matvienko. It's not so much copying, but in general for all major Russian cities arch problems. Not undertake their razrulivat Sergei Sobyanin, it would have to put it mildly, did not understand. After all, former head of the government and was appointed mayor to restore order in the capital after 18 years of riotous economic Yuri Luzhkov. Shoe officials. Sergei Sobyanin began to clean the machine. At several key posts, including posts Managing Authority and the Head of press service, he appointed "his" people. Some of the mayor led him from the central office, while others have moved from the Tyumen region, which was previously governor of the official. But he tried not to break the continuity of the transfer of power - in many positions, particularly requiring historical background on the subject, there were people from the previous government. So, their jobs, albeit with considerably curtailed the powers retained as long as first deputy prime minister, Vladimir Resin, which is responsible for the Moscow construction, housing and supervising Andrew Tsybin. Cleaning the room at one time was engaged, and Valentina Matvienko, and the cardinal. She immediately launched a process of updating the management team. Saving at least a semblance of succession was not among her priorities, after former governor Vladimir Yakovlev as Yuri Luzhkov, suffered early resignation. Economic power is entrusted to "young reformers" of Promstroibank, which, according to unofficial sources, was the main sponsor of the campaign (in contrast to the appointee Sergei Sobyanin, Valentina Matvienko was elected). However, layoffs among city officials on the ground she escaped. A Sergei Sobyanin arrived in Moscow notorious cleaners, because simply dismiss employees prefectures and control over the slightest infraction or the current disparity in general position. For lower-level officials style handling of the new governor was akin to a bucket of cold water. After all, when Yuri Luzhkov had a system of contractual relations, and Sergei Sobyanin, nepotism is not connected with the city, it does not work. Simultaneously, Moscow's mayor took the economic problems. "Current issues requiring immediate action, so that its activity is somewhat chaotic - said Herman Winds, director of" Municipal Economic Development "Fund" Institute of Urban Economy. " - I would like to understand a system of priorities, but so far it is not known. But here is clear: State of the State, where he quickly could not tell. " A new broom. The first act of Sergei Sobyanin outside City Hall was demolished retail outlets along the roads, including floral and newsstands. They are supposed to disrupt the movement of transport. But outraged citizens and community organizations. In the "Guild of investors stopping facilities" calculated that the city budget would have lost up to 690 million rubles for the complete elimination of bus stops booths. As a result, most of the stalls remained on the ground, and Sergei Sobyanin has since openly criticized for not substituted. Not that Valentina Matvienko. It is also his first gubernatorial term in October 2003 began with a change in the urban landscape, but the view of St. Petersburg in particular did not listen. At the first meeting of Valentina Matvienko said that "the era of spontaneous sealing of building over", should be given to preserving green space and recreational areas, equipment, intra parking. Spontaneity, indeed, become smaller, although at home continued to press each other, but with the approval of the governor's subordinates. Since then, the city has passed at least hundreds of unauthorized performances of citizens against the construction of buildings near their homes. To no avail: the developers, with the tacit consent of the authorities continued to build. Up to 3 thousand kiosks at public transport stops and in underground passages in the hands of the governor arrived in the autumn of 2004. Despite the protests of small business, Valentina Matvienko, ordered them to replace the ad-side tables. However, revenues from outdoor advertising in the budget of St. Petersburg did not appreciate it, saying operators of "outdoor advertising", which no longer needs their services. They brought a de in 2006 only 1% of revenues, or 812 million rubles. In April 2007, began to demolish billboards within the concept of a radical reduction of outdoor advertising. It's prescription federal agencies, including the FSO, allegedly associated with a trip to Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg, which he considered "cluttered advertising." It is difficult to estimate how many individual entrepreneurs and small businesses were ruined as a result of the contradictory actions of the governor. The difference in approach. Sergei Sobyanin, shows no such neglect of small and medium-sized urban businesses. They also adopted a similar nature to the decision to ban advertising in the historical center of Moscow, but it provides a variety of compensatory mechanisms for the advertisers and the advertisers. Luzhkov carefully avoids even the appearance of conflict in the eyes of ordinary citizens, not to cause the growth of social tension. Avoidance of this growth - one of the problems in connection with which Sergei Sobyanin moved from his chair in the Kremlin in a chair on Tverskaya Street. Therefore, experts say, in the near future - at least until the presidential and parliamentary elections - will not change the principles of subsidizing Muscovites laid by Yuri Luzhkov. Two other objectives were outlined head city government before taking office at a meeting of the faction "United Russia" in Moscow City Council in October 2010: transportation problems and the fight against corruption. In Valentina Matvienko, there is no constraint in the form of commitments to the Kremlin. Or they were given so long ago, and another president that their value is leveled. Because the head of the Northern capital goes his own way, despite the reputational costs. "Valentina Matvienko, raked from the Nevsky all small business. Was the year when the income from it may not have grown at a penny, and even reduced the size of the inflation - states of the regional program director of the Independent Institute of Social Policy, Natalia Zubarevich. - Let no illusions: the mayors of both the small business there is no economic interest. Sobyanin but understands that its preservation is beneficial in terms of employment, because up to 30% of the jobs the white sector of Moscow provides small and medium-sized businesses. A Matvienko, made a bid for big business and put the belly in order to attract the St. Petersburg budget forming the company. " Tax registration in St. Petersburg rose "Gazprom Neft" with some of its affiliates, "Sibur Holding", "Trans-Aero" and others. According to the Finance Committee of St. Petersburg, among the 20 largest taxpayers before the crisis, they provide 30% of the revenue of St. Petersburg (in 2009 this share had dropped to 7%). In terms of tax revenue from legal entities budget of St. Petersburg began to catch up with Moscow, where on that line in 2010 formed 39% of revenues. Vikings in the city. The price for the coming of the giants of Russian businesses are clumsy attempts to reduce the historic significance of St. Petersburg. As compensation for their labors, Valentina Matvienko agreed to the project of "Gazprom" for the construction of historic buildings for the ridiculous Peter Project "Ohta-center." Even more striking and short-sighted step was for the governor's proposal, addressed to Vladimir Putin in January, to exclude the city from the list of historic settlements. Obviously, with each such initiative, Valentina Matvienko is losing support in the eyes of St. Petersburg. Or, perhaps, and various officials in the federal government, where the strong team, "St. Petersburg". At the same time during his first gubernatorial term, Valentina Matvienko their "destructive" activities in relation to the city in a strange way to substantiate the program of socio-economic development of St. Petersburg. The main thesis was stated a few years to achieve European standards of living. But in Europe, such as including not only living conditions and a certain level of quality, but, above all, and the harmonized standards, including taking into account the conservation of environment and maintain the traditions of historical and cultural heritage. Sergei Sobyanin, despite the fact that as "Vikings", by contrast, shows the careful handling of Moscow and pretentious slogans of the European light tomorrow the Russian capital is not scattered. Ruinous decisions he also does not accept. "The mayor is behaving cautiously, as if going through a minefield, but technologically, standing on the position of the bureaucracy and the rational manager", - says Natalia Zubarevich. In November, Sergei Sobyanin, began an audit of existing construction contracts and after checking the rejected 53 of them. Motives announced: "The density of buildings in Moscow is 2-3 times higher than in most European cities, the possibilities for extensive construction of housing in the city have been exhausted." A load on the utility, road and social infrastructure is already excessive. In this way he scared many investors. For example, including a possible investment agreement with the gap by "City", owned by Oleg Deripaska, the oligarch decided to completely do away with the building line of business in the structure of the "Basel". Meanwhile, investment in the construction of 3 million square feet. meters in the downtown, which is controlled by "City," before the crisis was planned at $ 10 billion Big Sale. Unlike Peter, as well as the previous government, Yuri Luzhkov, Moscow has to distance itself from direct involvement in the affairs of big business. Planned global sale of non-core promaktivov, such as a 75% stake in the company of "Vnukovo", "Moscow-Medinskaya agro-industrial enterprise" (99.99%), "airline" Golden Ring "" (91.24%) or "Avtoframos" (5.9%). "The fate of packets identified more movement in the overall trend of privatization of state property, the sale of assets is not a conscious activity" - the head of the analytical department of the BCS Maxim Shein. Moscow will be able to help out a lot of money. Despite the fact that Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is willing to offer a package of Moscow Vnukovo 45-50 billion rubles, the mayor's office and asks traded 54.7 billion rubles (in the early years it was estimated it at 27 billion rubles). Packages in other enterprises from different sectors of the economy and even regions, where the previously traced the interests of the team, Yuri Luzhkov, has pulled together a few tens of billions of rubles. "It is reasonable to check out the projects, Yuri Luzhkov, who remained economically inefficient - says Herman Winds. - The old management team were not up to rescue AZLK, the development of several networks of fast food restaurants or inter-regional air taxi developed "Atlant-Soyuz". " In addition to income, the release of ballast in the form of these companies are not always profitable (and often - subsidized), will give the budget of Moscow and flexibility will make it a little clearer. City budget for 2011 suffers the same drawbacks as before. It also lays down huge amounts of shadow in 'Other expenses'. Sergei Sobyanin, or not yet been able to overcome the resistance of the Moscow officials, impose budget before, or in this aspect is positioning itself as part of the system. Road map. Despite initial correlation Sergei Sobyanin to quick victory over the stoppers of the road in Moscow is still clogged. Six months after the appointment of the mayor appeared program for the development of the transport system in the 2012-2016 years. However, to realize its not yet begun. "" The transport master plan ", in fact, is not satisfied, changes in the issue of transport congestion is expected, - complains the president of ACS 'Creation and Evolution" Vasily Koshelev. - While I believe that during the period that Sobyanin is the mayor of Moscow, to realize what is really effective measures would not have been originally. " Still, the approach to the solution of Sergei Sobyanin transport issues for individual points may be debatable, but generally far more rational than that of Yuri Luzhkov. In addition to being in charge of transport and road facilities in Moscow appointed experienced former Deputy Transport Minister Nikolai Lyamov, and suggested a comprehensive solution. Interchanges should be built in tight spaces and an additional exit from the Moscow Ring Road, to allocate lanes of urban transport route, to limit entry of private vehicles in the city center, increasing the length of lines and the number of subway stations, run by intracity routes trains, as well as river taxi along the Moscow River etc. In this sense, the position of Valentina Matvienko, look better - for Peter traffic problem is acute, but not so as in Moscow. "The mayor put the plus is that it has strengthened control over the city system of improvement, - says Natalia Zubarevich. - The scope of housing, yards, landscaping in the budget of Moscow laid down 4%, which is equivalent to the budget of any small area. " Attention to the new mayor of this side of the city was estimated Muscovites brought Sergei Sobyanin and extra points. Valentina Matvienko has already received last winter a few "black mark" in the form of threats of criminal prosecution for lax management utilities. The loss of more than a dozen people in 2004 from icicles can put an end to its further governorate.
