Sergei Furgal, Mikhail Degtyarev. August 12, 2020. Trends. An ultra-short overview.
Let's continue our discussion of some general issues.
Media materials that appeared after the resignation of Sergei Furgal, dedicated to business disputes and the issue of licenses by the regional government to use the natural resources of the Khabarovsk Krai to Russian and foreign applicants, create the impression of the parallel world - a huge, mysterious, practically inaccessible to the public, the media, the law enforcement agencies and the special services, the parliamentary control, - of the parallel world in which Sergei Furgal acted. The fate of Sergei Furgal's predecessors as governor is added to the same picture.
Apparently, somewhere Sergei Furgal made compromises, and somewhere he showed disobedience, intransigence.
His independence was based on victory in a competitive political struggle, knowledge of local problems, and elements of local support.
Sometimes Furgal resisted, probably out of public, local, patriotic convictions and interests, sometimes (you can logically construct the situation) - out of personal, self-serving interests.
Political figures, even partially independent ones, cause irritation, the desire to replace them with completely controlled figures, devoid of the ability to resist.
It is possible that Furgal can allow the LDPR members of parliament understand something important - about the events that have taken place. Members of the Public Monitoring Commission firstly, may not be able to navigate in the context, and secondly, they may be familiar with some of the unspoken rules of the game.
With this assumption, the informational limitations for Furgal become clear.
Mikhail Degtyarev can not rely, can not pillaring on victory in a competitive political struggle, nor on knowledge of local problems, nor on local support.
It is possible that one of his tasks is very simple - not to show independence and not to offer resistance in those areas and issues where Sergei Furgal showed independence and resisted ...
Neither Furgal nor Degtyarev, due to their lack of sufficient powers, could and cannot have a significant positive impact on the situation of the population of the Khabarovsk Krai.
But for the broad masses of the population, a figure with signs of independence, person with the ability to resist (Sergei Furgal), apparently, is preferable to a figure that is completely controlled ...
