Party Leaders: Regional Activity 19-25 October 2026 Analytical Review of APEC 1 United Russia continues to work intensively with the regional and local agenda. Thus, during a meeting with party activists in the Tyumen region, the Secretary of the General Council Vladimir Yakushev stated the need to "shape" the people's plan for the constituent entities so that at the level of each region their own similar document was prepared "with reference to specific municipalities". This could be another step towards strengthening the role of the main branches and deputies of the municipality in the work of United Russia. Let's note that Yakushiv also spoke about the need for "continuous party control" at the local level during a later working meeting with the head of the Yamal-Nents Autonomous Okrug, Dmitry Artyukhov. The digital agenda is becoming an important component of United Russia's work with the regions. For example, during the congress of the regional coordinators of the "Digital Russia" party project held in Tyumen, priorities were discussed in the area of ​​adopting citizens' digital services, supporting local IT companies and developing technological infrastructure. Party chairman Dmitry Medvedev repeatedly focused on many of these issues. As the governor of the Tyumen region Alexander Moore recalled, the region he heads at the end of 2025-2026 entered the top 10 issues of the Russian Federation with the best result in digital transformation. United Russia reaffirms its role as a key institution in scaling up regional best practices. 2 As part of the work of the systemic opposition with the regions, the work trip of the First Deputy Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Yuri Aponin to the Vologda region was indicative. During the 2026 Duma campaign, this region saw one of the highest levels of protest voting. It is not surprising that opposition actors continue to work on key areas of social discontent.
