Tipped to be sacked just eight governors
This can result in changes in the Kremlin, intra-elite conflicts and the fight against corruption.
The number of regional leaders, which have a good chance of losing their positions has increased from three to eight, follows from the annual rating of political survival rate of governors, prepared by Fund “the Petersburg policy” and holding “Minchenko consulting”. Net “losers” were Vadim Potomsky (Oryol region), Valery Shantsev (Nizhny Novgorod region) and Vyacheslav Nagovitsyn (Buryatia), two plus received the Andrei Turchak (Pskov region), Nikolay Merkushkin (Samara region), Victor Basargin (Perm Krai), Valerii Radaev (Saratov region) and Yevgeny Kuyvashev (Sverdlovsk region).

The administration of the President, even in these electorally significant regions, like Sverdlovsk oblast or Perm Krai, will be based on the principle of “do no harm” — in 2018 was not that “substitution is not played”, the expert believes: “Some symbolic replacement for sure next year happens, and they will be batch — that’s why I was recently inserted information on the [Kremlin] the ratings of governors.” Of the three “losers” most likely to keep his post at Patomskogo believes Kalachev:
