Kuznetsov, a local candidate or a big compromise: the conditions for control of the Khabarovsk mayor's office are determined in a dialogue between Kuzhmyaku, Demshin and the city's elites.

It is also important that Bodkin was discussed among the candidates for mayor of Khabarovsk even before the appointment of Kozhmyaku as the holder of power. Its appearance on the list cannot be explained solely by new federal influence.
But a change in superintendent of a macro area can increase the value of a candidate.
For Kuzhmiako, effective participation in the appointment of the mayor of Khabarovsk is an opportunity to consolidate the presence of his personnel in the region without attacking the governor.
Damshin retains the right to present candidates and accepts an accepted mayor, Kozmiako, a close manager in the past in an important position in the city. Such an agreement could strengthen the relationship between the representative in charge and the governor, but it would limit Damshin's sphere of influence: the commissioner would owe his career decision not only to him.
This is the main intrigue. Demshin wants to abolish the autonomy of the urban center, but in the end he may end up mayor with several channels of support. Formally, the city will be integrated into the governor's vertical; In fact, key decisions will need to be agreed upon in a "two major keys and a few minor" situation. A change in the procedure for electing the mayor ensures the participation of the governor in the city government, but not his sole influence on the situation in Khabarovsk.
