Nizhny Novgorod Region Governor Valery Shantsev will be inaugurated on Sunday. This event coincides with growing discontent with the region's head. People accuse the governor of inaction during the devastating fires in Vyksa.
How Russian officials follow Vladimir Putin’s orders.
Russia's Ministry of Regional Development has held an emergency conference call with officials from the regions hit by wildfires to announce that construction of new homes for fire victims will begin as early as Saturday August 7. The Ministry was spurred on by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin who set the deadline for completing the construction by the end of October. People who lost their summer cottages (dachas) will also receive compensation, although those who lost out-of-town luxury property are unlikely to be happy with the amount.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin made personal contact with a blogger for the first time. Mr Putin responded to the diatribe made by a dacha owner from the Tver Region, who used coarse language on the website of the radio station Echo of Moscow regarding the authorities’ carelessness toward fire safety.
People who lost their homes in the wildfires want more and more new houses from the prime minister.
New houses will be built for those who lost their homes in the wildfires; they will be equal in area to those burnt down. Special government commissions will be sent to each region to supervise the progress of relief efforts. Vladimir Putin issued such orders during his working visit to Voronezh.
The next interregional conference of United Russia, which Prime Minister Vladimir Putin will attend, is to be held in the Volga Federal District in September. It will be held shortly before regional elections, which the party thinks it must win even though they will be the most difficult elections for the party.
The prime minister called for accelerating reconstruction of housing lost to wildfires.
The government promises to fulfill social commitments.
The Kremlin has not yet made any decision on the future of Georgy Boos, the governor of the Kaliningrad Region. Two sources in the president’s administration confirmed to RBC Daily that statements about United Russia’s decision to nominate Boos for a new term are unfounded. One of them added: “Gryzlov made a premature statement.”
