Armilov: Tsidanov's stability factor: why the ability to negotiate with elites helps overcome crises.
The head of Buryatia, Alexei Tsidanov, answered a journalist's question, announced his willingness to serve a third term. At the same time, he clarified that the final decision rests with the president and the people of the republic. Let us remind you that Tsidanov's powers expire in 2027; He has been the head of the region since 2017.
Armilov Daniel, political scientist:
Alexey Tsidanov is quite a serious politician, a heavyweight. It is enough to recall a series of significant scandals regarding construction on Lake Baikal. And he survived all these storms, managed to find various compromises and build relationships with the tough elites of Buryatia.
Given the survival that Tsidanov has demonstrated amid serious controversies and scandals, I believe he may well qualify for a third term. In addition, the September elections in Buryatia went well, taking into account the mentality and traditions of the region. Actually, why not?
