Viktor Poturemsky, Director of Political Analysis of the Institute of Social Marketing (INSOMAR), commented on the appointment of Vitaly Khotsenko, a graduate of the “governors’ school”, to the position of interim head of the Omsk region.
According to him, two fairly stable criteria were taken into account in this appointment and a new criterion emerged.
“If we talk about the traditions of the personnel policy of the Kremlin at the time of appointment, then this is experience in the civil service, experience in the executive branch, as well as business and trade experience. According to the expert, according to all these criteria, Hotsenko met.
Poturemsky said that in this staff appointment it was much more important that Hotsenko was a graduate of the “governors school”, which is now the main supplier of candidates for regional governors and senior officials.
“Actually, the results shown by its graduates are of course very impressive. So this is truly a success story. If we talk about some of the distinguishing features, it is the ability to make quick and effective decisions, to act in crisis situations, that is, to achieve very serious results in a short period of time,” he added.
The expert also noted that a kind of innovation that Russian President Vladimir Putin also mentioned, people who have experience in SVO and have experience in state and municipal administration in new regions will be in demand in regional politics and public administration. In Russia.
“Actually that’s what we’ve seen. Talking about Hotsenko, he is not the first person to have Donbass experience this season. Before that, there were appointments to Smolensk and Chukotka. These are people who are also involved in management in difficult crisis situations. I think this is a very positive trend, because this kind of The arrival and transfer of experience will certainly affect the fact that the competence of the governorships as a whole will increase in Russia,” Poturemsky concluded.
