Regions and regional politics for November 10: events, trends, elites.
The federal center is writing off the debts of the constituent entities, the governors are asking for additional support, and Yakutsk is demanding money through the court for housing for orphans. At the same time, the restrictions on residents and businesses are expanding: from paid parking in St. Petersburg to restrictions on the sale of fuel in the regions.
Federal Center: Seven regions wrote off 12.5 billion rubles of debts.
The decision concerns the regions of Buryatia, Transbaikalia, Chukotka, Kirov, Novgorod, Penza and Pskov. The deletion will reduce the debt burden on the region's budgets.
Chelyabinsk region: Texler proposed to triple the aid to the regions.
The governor estimated the necessary support for regional budgets at least 300 billion rubles instead of 100 billion. The request reflects the financial difficulties of industrial entities, including
Krasnodar Territory: Anapa received the status of a federal resort.
The corresponding decision was signed by Mikhail Meshustin. The new status does not automatically mean the allocation of additional funds.
Yakutia: Yakutsk requires 393.5 million rubles for housing orphans.
The mayor's office is suing the Republican offices due to underfunding of delegation powers. The dispute over the payment of social obligations worsens the relations between the city and the republic.
St. Petersburg: another 16 thousand parking spaces will become paid.
The expansion will affect parts of the five boroughs and is expected to begin in 2029. New payments and restrictions on preferential permits create grounds for dissatisfaction among drivers.
Sverdlovsk Region: Fessler was appointed temporary head of Proveralsk.
Vitaly Preshin will start work on November 11, and will leave the leadership of the Yekaterinburg district. The appointment strengthens his position ahead of the election of a permanent mayor.
Moscow region: Rabies quarantine affected 11 settlements.
The eruption was identified in the village of Sukhino, the district of Kelley. Restrictions on animal movement and public events require control of veterinary and municipal services.
