Today, January 18, under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Yaroslav Semenov, a meeting of the Interdepartmental Commission under the Head of the Udmurt Republic on the implementation of the state program for the SD “Comprehensive development of housing and communal services in the SD” was held. In 2018-2020, the implementation of the federal project will continue, and residents of municipalities themselves must choose the public areas that they want to see landscaped.

The key topic of the meeting was summing up the implementation results priority project“Formation of a comfortable urban environment”, improvement of courtyard areas and public spaces settlements in 2017, as well as discussion of plans for 2018-2022.

Opening the meeting, Yaroslav Semenov, in particular, emphasized that improvement issues come to the fore in the work of the authorities, and the solution to this problem is paramount. The implementation of the project is given the closest attention by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who on January 17 took part in the forum of small towns and historical settlements. One of the topics of this event was summing up the results of the first year of implementation of the priority project “Formation of a comfortable urban environment.” Speaking at the forum, the head of state, in particular, emphasized that all decisions regarding the improvement of public spaces and courtyard areas should be made solely based on the opinion of residents.

“I ask the Ministry of Construction, Housing and Public Utilities and Energy of the Republic to analyze the results of the forum of small towns and historical settlements held the day before with the participation President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. The delegation of the Udmurt Republic also took part in it. Colleagues at the forum presented our municipalities. In addition, a decision was made to allocate a significant amount of budget funds for the implementation of projects for the improvement of small towns and historical settlements. Therefore, we need to work out how we will participate in the competition for projects for the development of public spaces. Please provide information for the next meeting of the Interdepartmental Commission under the Head of Udmurtia,” emphasized Yaroslav Semenov.

Talking about the results of the first year of implementation federal project, First Deputy Minister of Construction, Housing and Public Utilities and Energy of the Ural Republic Ivan Novikov, in particular, noted that the experience accumulated over the past year will become the foundation for the implementation of a socially significant priority project in the coming years. In 2017, 273 million rubles were allocated from the federal budget for its implementation. Co-financing from the SD budget amounted to 122 million rubles. Municipalities and owners invested more than 36 million rubles in the project.

In the city of Sarapul, the highest percentage of co-financing for the repair of courtyard areas by owners was achieved - up to 21%. In total, in 2017, 293 courtyards were landscaped in 32 settlements. The main type of work carried out was paving the yard and parking spaces. Ivan Novikov noted that this need has been formed over the years, however, from the point of view of improving the urban environment, only paving the yard will not create favorable conditions for recreation, increasing the level of culture of people spending free time. It is necessary to reconsider the approach to the issue of landscaping courtyards, pay attention to the presence in the courtyard of play areas, areas with small architectural forms, as well as to increase the accessibility of public facilities, courtyard areas for people with disabilities and low mobility groups population.

In 2017, 9 public spaces were landscaped in Izhevsk, Glazov, Votkinsk, Sarapul, Mozhga, Kambarka, Kez, Karakulino and Uva. Also, as part of the project, work was carried out to improve the park in Mozhga. For these purposes, 8.23 ​​million rubles were allocated from the federal, republican and municipal budgets. All cities and districts participating in the 2017 project completed work on landscaping courtyards and public areas on time.

As in 2017, in this year Special attention will focus on informing citizens about the implementation of programs on the Internet and the media. Most municipalities have already created communities and pages in in social networks, where they conduct active information work. In addition, it is necessary to intensify work on posting information on official websites, as well as visualizing the actions of the priority project.

Ivan Novikov noted that Udmurtia’s participation in the priority project will continue in subsequent years. Before February 15, 2018, it is planned to sign an Agreement between the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation and the Government of the Urals for the provision of subsidies. According to the budget for 2018, it is planned to allocate 346,671.9 million rubles for the improvement of courtyards and public areas. (approximately for five years - 1,733,360 million rubles), public spaces - 6,732.3 million rubles. (approximately for five years – 33,661 million rubles)

Participation in the implementation of the project 2018-2022. will accept settlements with a population of over 1000 people. There are 89 such settlements in the Udmurt Republic. To date, all local government bodies have approved municipal programs. Each municipality will receive cash based on the five-year plan - in proportion to the number of citizens. The improvement of courtyard areas must be carried out with the mandatory involvement of funds from the owners.

It should be noted that the Government of the Russian Federation has made changes to the Rules for the provision and distribution of subsidies to regions from the federal budget to support state and municipal programs for the formation of a modern urban environment. In accordance with them, local government bodies of municipalities with a population of over 20 thousand people are obliged to ensure voting on the selection of public areas for improvement.

The heads of the above-mentioned municipalities spoke about the implementation of the priority project “Formation of a comfortable urban environment”, as well as the prospects for improvement for the next five years in the cities of Izhevsk, Mozhga, Zavyalovsky and Kezsky districts, and the Uvinskoye municipal district.

Thus, the head of the city of Izhevsk, Yuri Tyurin, noted that in the next five years in the capital of Udmurtia, as part of a federal project, it is planned to improve 179 courtyards and 15 public spaces. Already in 2018, it is planned to renovate part of the Central Square and the park named after. Kirov (to create a fan zone for the World Cup). In total, it is planned to spend almost 173 million rubles on the implementation of the program this year. The head of Izhevsk said that on March 18, the day of the presidential elections in Russia, ranked voting will be organized at polling stations so that residents themselves can choose those public spaces that will ultimately be included in the federal program. Preliminary work on ranked voting has already begun. On March 18, a similar ranked vote on the choice of public spaces will be organized at polling stations and in the Kez district.

At the end of the meeting, Yaroslav Semenov focused the attention of the commission members on the need to create conditions for broad public involvement in the implementation of the federal project to create a comfortable urban environment. An innovation in 2018 is the mandatory holding of direct rating voting by municipal residents to select projects for the reconstruction of public spaces. The head of the regional cabinet of ministers emphasized that this is the most objective and direct way to assess public opinion and take it into account when making decisions. In addition, he recalled that there should be a team approach to the implementation of the project.

As part of the meeting of the Intergovernmental Commission, the Prime Minister also set a number of tasks aimed at increasing the efficiency of work to create a comfortable urban environment.

In particular, the heads of districts and cities were instructed to provide the Ministry of Construction of Udmurtia with information on eliminating the deficiencies identified by January 20 public organizations during monitoring of the implementation of a priority project in the territory of municipalities.

“It is the implementation of a project in a particular subject, from voting to timely delivery of work and sending reports, that is the criterion by which the subject is assessed Russian Federation. The provision of additional financial support also depends on it. We see the same thing in the “Safe” project quality roads" It is the timely elimination of comments and the sending of all reports that gives us a chance to claim larger amounts than those allocated this year,” summed up Yaroslav Semenov.

Izhevsk Udmurtia. Head of Udmurtia Alexander Brechalov announced new structure government. According to him, it should start working on January 1, 2018, the head of the republic said on Monday, October 2, during the third meeting of the first session of the State Council of the Udmurt Republic.

“The position of the head of the administration of the head and government of Udmurtia has not undergone any changes. The head of the administration still coordinates the actions of the following departments: the department for ensuring the activities of justices of the peace, the committee for civil registry affairs, the ministry national policy, the press and mass communications agency and the archives committee,” said Brechalov.

The economic block of the government will include the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of physical culture, sports and youth policy.

“A new ministry will appear - this is the Ministry of Information and Communications,” explained Brechalov.

The financial block of the government will include the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Property Relations, the Ministry of Transport and Roads, the Ministry of Construction, Housing and Communal Services and Energy and the State Supervision Inspectorate.

“Here we will have serious structural changes: the Ministry of Construction, Architecture and Housing Policy and the Ministry of Energy, Housing and Communal Services will be merged government regulation tariffs. Essentially we are repeating federal structure. In addition, we are combining the state housing inspection and the state construction supervision inspection,” explained the head of Udmurtia.

The social block will include the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Labor and social policy and the Ministry of Culture. “The Ministry of Health will include a department for licensing medical and pharmaceutical activities. We are also merging the Ministry of Social and Demographic Policy and the Ministry of Labor and Migration Policy,” said Alexander Brechalov.

He also added that the next block will include the ministry natural resources(will include the Ministry of Forestry), the Veterinary Department and the Ministry Agriculture and food (includes state inspection for supervision of technical condition free cars and other types of equipment).

“The last bloc is the Deputy Prime Minister, the permanent representative of the head of Udmurtia to the President of Russia,” summed up the head of Udmurtia, Alexander Brechalov.

As a result, the number of ministries was reduced by three.

In Udmurtia, a change in the structure of the government is in full swing for the second month. Its formation is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Only a few officials who had experience working in the republic before the appointment of Alexander Brechalov as acting head were able to become among the heads of the most important regional departments. About the Varangians and locals in the new government - in the FederalPress material.

new broom

Already at the first session of the State Council of Udmurtia after the elections, Alexander Brechalov proposed his changes to the structure of the government of the republic. According to his ideas, the areas of responsibility of deputy prime ministers have been significantly changed. Thus, the Ministry of Transport and Transport entered the bloc together with the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Energy and Housing and Communal Services, as well as the State Housing Inspectorate and the State Construction Supervision Inspectorate, which will also become one department. Another block included the Ministry of Agriculture and the Main Directorate of Veterinary Medicine, as well as the Ministry of Natural Resources and Protection environment, which will include the Ministry of Forestry. In addition, a number of ministries working in related industries were merged, for example, the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Energy and Housing and Communal Services, the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Social Policy.

Political expert from Izhevsk Alexander Balitsky believes that the team of “ambitious young pragmatic guys” corresponds to the tasks set by Alexander Brechalov for the new cabinet of ministers. Moreover, the goals set for the new government are constantly becoming more complicated external factors. For example, this is a serious national debt of the republic. And there is also a demand from Russian President Vladimir Putin to deal with the resettlement of those in need from emergency housing, which was announced following the results of the “direct line”, when a resident of Izhevsk showed the barracks in which she was forced to live. There is also a long-standing unresolved problem of increasing salaries for teachers and doctors, as was promised following the signing of the “May” decrees by the president in 2012. A new disaster has been added to the number of problems in Udmurtia - the explosion and collapse of a residential building in Izhevsk, as a result of which hundreds of people were left homeless, and three entrances of the nine-story building were recognized by the Ministry of Emergency Situations as dangerous. With all these problems, the renewed government with a new structure should start working on January 1, 2018.

Personnel loss?

The latest was the resignation of the former Minister of Sports Igor Krasnov, a decree about this was signed by Alexander Brechalov. Since 2009, Krasnov has quite successfully led his industry. Through his efforts, a lot of events are taking place in Udmurtia aimed at developing children's, youth and family sports. But he was dismissed anyway and it has already been announced that the next minister will take this position through a competition.

Alexander Balitsky expressed the opinion that the desire to renew the management team does not always justify such resignations: “Krasnov, in my opinion, was among the few who were certainly up to any task<…>Not only does he fully correspond, but in many ways he is even head and shoulders above others and an order of magnitude more capable than others. In fact, I would look at this as a big loss of personnel for the republic. This was perhaps one of the few ministers who was not only in his place, but who was truly a charismatic figure for the area and sphere in which he worked. Both athletes and young people who were and are in his department saw in him a real intelligent and competent leader.”

It is interesting that in the highest echelon of power, Igor Krasnov remained one of the last officials who were born, raised and built their careers in Udmurtia.

By the way, against this background, the resignation of Minister of Agriculture Alexander Prokhorov went almost unnoticed. But in the end, the head of Udmurtia brought Varangians to leading positions. At the same time, political scientist Andrei Kolyadin does not see anything wrong with this and gives the example of Sevastopol: “The head of the region, he hired the bulk of the people who came from outside Crimea to work for him. Of the 13 deputy governors there, 12 were invited from outside.”

Yaroslav Semenov and his team

Yaroslav Semenov was agreed to the post of chairman of the government of Udmurtia. The candidacy for the position of Prime Minister was personally presented by Alexander Brechalov. According to him, initially there were two contenders for this post, but Yaroslav Semenov more successfully coped with the task assigned to him to improve the situation in the road sector. Back in August, federal authorities gave positive assessment implementation of the “Safe and Quality Roads” project in the republic. Now Semenov also faces the task of reducing the region’s debt burden and reducing the budget deficit. At the same time, Yaroslav Semenov has already stated that the government needs to reconsider approaches to Udmurtia’s participation in federal programs, focus on developing agriculture and attracting investment. There are already four deputy prime ministers in the government of Yaroslav Semenov who have never had anything to do with Udmurtia.

Brechalov appointed Sergei Smirnov to another key position. He headed the administration of the head and government. Virtually all internal politics Udmurtia will be dealt with by Smirnov, who worked in this position as acting. from April 7, 2017. In addition, the governor appointed Sergei Smirnov as his deputy. Previously, the position of deputy head of the Udmurt Republic did not exist; during the period of vacation or illness, the head of the region was replaced by the chairman of the government.

The press secretary of the head of the region, Ekaterina Volkova, after the appointment of Smirnov as head of the administration, said that the new powers would strengthen interaction with the federal center, parties, as well as work with municipalities: “This is an innovation associated with the strengthening of the internal political bloc.” In addition, the head of the administration of the head and government of Udmurtia is obliged to supervise the Ministry of National Policy, committees for the registry office of archives, press and mass communications agencies, and the department of justices of the peace.

Yuri Bychkov, a well-known politician and businessman in Udmurtia, believes that this correct solution: “A team is being formed from outside people. That is, their own elite and local people were unable to form their own leaders<…>This means that you will be controlled by other people. Maybe they will manage better, they will generally manage perfectly.” His disappointment is understandable to Andrei Kolyadin: “The local elites are very concerned about this. They believe that the region has its own personnel who should be invited. And they express concern about this...”

Local beau monde

Only a few representatives of Udmurtia were able to become among the heads of the most important republican departments. Thus, Stanislav Evdokimov, who has headed the regional Ministry of Finance since 2014, again headed it. Its work will be supervised by Deputy Prime Minister Anatoly Strokov, Associate Professor of the Department of Public Finance Financial University under the government of the Russian Federation. Political consultant Andrei Kolyadin understands the purpose of such a structure: “Based on the fact that federal money could be sent there, the people who send it wanted this money not to go into the local sand, without changing anything within the republic.”

Tatyana Churakova will head the Ministry of Social, Family and Demographic Policy of Udmurtia. The ministry, according to the new government structure, will be merged with the Ministry of Labor and Migration Policy. This process must be completed by January 1, 2018. Larisa Buranova retained the post of Minister of National Policy. Chairman of the Government of Udmurtia Yaroslav Semenov, presenting her candidacy, emphasized that she is well acquainted with the problems of her industry, efficient and professional. Regional policy expert Alexander Balitsky believes that these two appointments are just “a courtesy to the national character of the subject and nothing more.”

It is interesting that the most traditionally “execution” ministerial portfolios also remain in the hands of local nominees. Svetlana Bolotnikova became the acting Minister of Education and Science of the region, and Andrei Vozdvizhensky was appointed acting Minister of Health. Alexander Balitsky believes that this distribution of responsibilities is completely justified: “It is clear that the ambitions that our current leaders have declared are very ambitious and require, naturally, a new team. Because in order to realize all the “massive plans” that Brechalov’s comrades have, it really cannot be realized with old baggage... Therefore, it is clear that he stirs up and changes everything. But not always with these changes, the desire to update is coupled with the understanding that there are people who can fully meet the new tasks of the new team.”

Andrey Kolyadin, assessing the composition of the government of Udmurtia and comparing it with the processes of updating the governments of other regions of the country, notes that this approach (mixing the most talented local officials and using promising invitees) is now the most common in Russia: “This, in essence, removes a number of local issues elite who expects to enter the processes domestic policy in the region and issues of external political actors, who also recommend certain people to the government.<…>Eat whole line interested parties among financial and industrial groups, in the Russian government, and the presidential administration, who are in one way or another interested in the region developing and having as few problems as possible.”

However, Varangians also find themselves in ministerial positions. For example, one of the traditionally key ministries, the Ministry of Construction, was headed by Ivan Yastreb. In the future, he will head a new structure that will emerge after the merger of the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Energy and Housing and Communal Services. Previously, he worked in the ONF project “For Fair Procurement”. Local builders could not characterize the new minister in any way - they simply do not know him. Now the new minister faces several difficult tasks. For example, the issue of demolishing a house damaged as a result of a domestic gas explosion on November 9 needs to be resolved. At the same time, hundreds of people living in dilapidated houses that are subject to demolition will be resettled. The new government and the Ministry of Construction need to find funds for compensation, rental housing, construction or purchase of hundreds of new apartments.

Experts note that these and other tasks of the new government are complicated by the fact that the budgets of the republic, Izhevsk and other municipalities of Udmurtia are set up with a serious deficit. The regional budget receives loans from the federal budget to refinance debts to commercial banks. Although, if you believe financial statistics, Udmurtia is a net donor to the federal budget and a little more than a third of the taxes collected in the republic are returned to local budgets.
