About this the acting governor NAO said in an interview with Rossiya24 TV channel. In addition, Alexander Tsybulsky spoke about the prospects for the development of the region, personnel policy and much more.
Alexander Vitalievich, what items were you the first to bring into your new office? What should you always have on hand while working?
– The first thing I brought was a computer and a phone. And the documents that I prepared in advance on current issues economic development and life of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug. I put them [nearby] as a reference so that I could actively study them between meetings with my new team.
After your appointment, you already said that there would be no hasty and emotional personnel decisions. Are you planning to recruit the team mostly from local personnel or will you invite someone from Moscow?
– I believe that you should not make sharp decisions when you come to such a responsible position. There really is a professional team working here, which has done a lot recently to diversify the region’s economy and, in general, to establish a systematic process of economic management. I am not a supporter of making personnel decisions that are not related to assessing the professionalism of people. Therefore, I would proceed from the fact that it is necessary to retain as much of the backbone as possible from those people who work in their places today, if they are ready to continue working, if our vision of the goals for which we are doing this coincides. But if there is a need to strengthen our team from other regions or from Moscow with people who have experience working in the federal government or in some other areas, we will definitely do this. But we will always make decisions as a team carefully and after consultation.
You and many of your colleagues graduated from the Higher School of Management at the Academy of National Economy. What is it like to study there? Are there special items and tasks?
– I took several courses at the Academy of National Economy. I defended my master's degree there business administration and then regularly took advanced training courses there. Studying there is the same as, probably, at any other university. None specific items we did not have. There were only those subjects that were necessary to improve one’s own educational level
The vice-rector of the academy came to us for an interview. He said that they study there from 8 am to 11 pm. A very busy schedule and a comprehensive “diagnosis”, ranging from personal qualities to professional ones.
– I am very pleased that there is now such a professional approach to personnel selection. The course there is really quite intensive. But if you want to study, then you do it anywhere with complete dedication and it takes all your time. As for psychological or, as you said, personal study, it is very nice that this is happening. This is an extremely important factor. I am a person who came from a military environment. And when we were accepted for study or work, we also passed a large number of psychological tests and tests for professional aptitude, because it is extremely important who is able to work comfortably under what conditions. Because sometimes we don’t fully understand what we are capable of, and where we will be extremely uncomfortable and will not be able to realize ourselves
When you arrived in the region, you said that you were used to working a lot. Can you say this is a parting message to colleagues?
- Absolutely. I have a high work pace and I hope all my colleagues can share it
You have an MBA degree and are proficient in three foreign languages. And they supervised international relations first in the Ministry regional development, and then at the Ministry of Economic Development. Is yours applicable in this region? international experience? For example, to attract foreign investors, to solve some other problems?
– At least, that’s the task I set for myself. It seems to me that Nenetsky autonomous region underrepresented in international markets. There is no doubt that the county has something to show for it. And not only foreign investors who came to the oil or gas production industry. The Nenets Autonomous Okrug is unique in many respects, including because people live here a large number of indigenous population. The Nenets are 7 thousand people, or 20% of the population. In no case should we forget that these are people with special competencies, that they traditionally led a nomadic lifestyle and economic activity. Therefore, they have a large number of craft items that could be promoted in foreign markets. What is today traditional types economic activities of the indigenous peoples of the North? This is mainly reindeer husbandry and fishing - these are the types of activities that produce high-quality environmentally friendly products. As a person who lived in Moscow for many years, I last years I saw that the demand for such products was growing greatly. And people are willing to pay money for it. Moreover, they are not only willing to pay money, but also to look for these quality products. And, given this niche, it would be quite possible to promote products produced by the “indigenous” part of the district’s population. The same products may be in demand in foreign markets. Of course, 7 thousand people cannot produce volumes sufficient to cover the needs of, for example, China. But it is possible to enter these markets in a narrowly segmented manner. And, of course, we need to attract foreign investors. I think they have a lot to offer here in the area.
Are there problems and challenges in the district that require immediate attention?
– The first is the problem of long-term construction. There are about 15 projects in which significant government money has been invested, but they are still not completed. You need to make a decision - either complete them or revise them functional purpose. These are mostly objects social infrastructure. There is an obvious shortage of such facilities in the district, so now, it seems to me, we need to analyze what is happening to them and make a decision either on their completion or on repurposing them. There is also a question related to development transport infrastructure. This is the only region in the European part of Russia that has no connection with the “mainland” part [of the country]. We must focus on building the road to Usinsk. This project is currently underway. The first stage has already been built. And we need to concentrate as much as possible to build and put into operation the other three lines. I also see this as my main task. Then we will essentially solve the problem of transport isolation of the region. And there is a project for reconstructing the runway of the Naryan-Mar airport. We need to do this too. There are issues related to the development of air ambulance, the airport complex as a whole and the [Naryan-Mar United] air squad that operates there. After all, the distances in the district, despite its small population, are very large. And, of course, the main and often the only type of [transport] communication is a helicopter. And our task, on the one hand, is to “replenish” the air squad with new aviation equipment, and, on the other, not to make this a burden for the regional budget. This is a so-called win-win task (double win – approx. nao24.ru). If we solve it, then, on the one hand, we ensure the fulfillment of social obligations to citizens, on the other hand, we give the aviation squad the opportunity to participate in competitions of oil companies to deliver their workers to the fields. Through such contracts, we can make the airline profitable, including for the regional budget. What caught my eye during my 24-hour stay in the city? Certainly, urban environment Naryan-Mar leaves much to be desired. Roads - not the most good quality. The lawns, frankly, are in a deplorable state. It's not [anyone's] fault, we just have to deal with it now. And I also see this as a very important task for myself.
Are you considering the prospect of a merger? Nenets District and Arkhangelsk region?
– This issue in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug is of great concern to all residents. I can honestly say officially: when the president appointed me as acting [governor], such a task was not set. And none of my [other] leaders in Moscow set such a task for me
I would like to touch on the topic of mastering arctic shelf. You have dealt with this topic before. Here it is important for the entire region. What do you think about this, what could be the key projects?
– Shelf development is a very promising direction. At the Ministry of Economic Development we have developed road map to remove administrative and other barriers in order to make the work of companies both on the shelf and in Arctic zone overall more comfortable. Now I have the opportunity to try to implement the initiatives that we, together with companies and regions, then “immersed” in this roadmap. Of course, projects here are in varying degrees of readiness. These are the Varandey and Prirazlomnaya platforms. This is also the promising Pechora LNG project. There is no final decision on it yet, but it could also be implemented. This is also a project for the construction of a deep-water ice-free port of Indiga, which could become part of the Northern Sea Route and take on the function of sending mined [to NAO] hydrocarbons and other minerals to both the countries of the Asia-Pacific region and the European part of the country. There are many offshore projects, and they are extremely important. In general, the region has a very specific economic structure. And not only the economy, but also employment. If we take the economy, more than 90% is income related directly to oil production. And it is simply vital to diversify the economy. When I was Deputy Minister of Economic Development, I was involved in a project for the development of single-industry towns. So here, to a certain extent, there is a monoregion. And “monodependence” is always very dangerous. Because in good times it's yours competitive advantage[…] And if external macroeconomic conditions suddenly change, it becomes a disaster, because you have nothing to replace the [lost] income with. Any fluctuations in oil prices are extremely sensitive for the region. […] And also the dollar exchange rate... Because part of the income is calculated according to the [Kharyagin] production sharing agreement in dollars. Therefore, it is extremely important to diversify [the economy] and bring new industries and sectors into the economy. But there is a very specific structure and employment too. 2/3 of the region consists of workers budgetary sphere, and in fact the state is the main employer here. Therefore, we must be very careful in addressing issues related, among other things, to layoffs. If we make a decision to optimize one direction or another, we must immediately think about what other industries will be able to “absorb” those people who will end up on the street. And the remaining third are essentially employees of oil companies and, quite a bit, representatives of small and medium-sized businesses. Therefore, we need to focus on the development of small and medium-sized businesses, which will also not be very easy here, since there is not a sufficient domestic market [for sales]. Nevertheless, we will look and try to find those directions that could be optimal for the development of such a complex and specific region
How will your workday tomorrow, for example, be structured while you get up to speed?
– I have a plan to fly, if not tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow to one of the remote areas. A farm is being built there. At all Agriculture is also developing quite actively in the district, so I would like to look at the cattle farm that is supposed to be built and opened. But that's probably the day after tomorrow. But tomorrow I would still like to spend the whole day talking with my team. In order to understand in more detail and depth for each area what has been done, at what point we are now and what prospects they see in the areas for which they are responsible
Apparently, this will take place in a rather ascetic office with a computer, telephone and papers for meetings?
– In general, I am a supporter of the fact that there is nothing superfluous in the office. The same as on the table. It is very uncomfortable to work when the table is cluttered unnecessary things. Therefore, as a rule, only those documents with which I work are on my desk. This also disciplines you, because it shows how much work you still have to do before you can go home. And I try to go home when the table is clean
