Window on Eurasia: One Russian in Five Ready to Change Place of Residence, Survey Finds

Paul Goble
Staunton, August 10 – Slightly more than one Russian in five – a total of nearly 30 million people -- is ready to move to another location, with the share prepared to do so ranging from more than half in parts of the Russian Far East to fewer than one in 14 in St. Petersburg, according to the results of a massive poll conducted by the Public Opinion Foundation.
It has been "traditionally assumed, Anton Razmakhnin writes in his report about the poll, that Russians are not as ready to move from one place to another either to find work or to have a better life, but the new survey shows that this assumption is not nearly as justified as many officials and analysts have assumed (svpressa.ru/society/article/28821/).
To test that assumption and to determine which groups in the Russian population were the most mobile was one of the tasks ...

Window On Eurasia: Raging Fires And Falling Ratings Won’t Bring Down Putin’s Power Vertical, ‘Nezavisimaya’ Says

Window on Eurasia: Raging Fires and Falling Ratings Won’t Bring Down Putin’s Power Vertical, ‘Nezavisimaya’ Says

Paul Goble

Staunton, August 10 – Despite polls showing declines in support for Dmitry Medvedev and Vladimir Putin and despite growing popular anger at lower-ranking officials like Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov and Emergency Situations Minister Sergey Shoigu, "Nezavisimaya gazeta” argues today, the fires burning across Russia won’t affect "the power vertical.”
Many commentators are focusing on the recent polls and on the obvious problems various members of the powers that be in coping with the fires and their consequences, "Nezavisimaya gazeta” says in a lead article today, but such writers are wrong to conclude that either threatens Putin’s system (www.ng.ru/editorial/2010-08-10/2_red.html).
The current situation is hardly the first time in Russia when everyone can see that the current "system of administration” is not very effective in coping with crises. Moreover and in particular, the governors who appear on TV next to Putin "look like people with extremely limited responsibilities and even ...

Window on Eurasia: United Russia Losing Public Trust and Support, Moscow Analyst Says

Paul Goble

Staunton, August 8 – United Russia, having been burned by its reliance on polling agencies that overstated its support before the local elections last spring, is now making use of more independent pollsters, a reflection of its loss of public trust and the greater willingness of party leaders to face this reality, according to a Moscow analyst.
In an essay posted on "Novaya politika” on Friday, Olga Tropkina says that the gap between the support for United Russia that VTsIOM and other agencies close to the government reported and the outcomes of the March 14 elections has led the party and government to rethink how they are using polls (www.novopol.ru/--protsenta-doveriya-text88338.html).
Up until that time, the ruling party had sought to use favorable polls to generate support by suggesting the victory of United Russia was inevitable rather than as an accurate measure of popular attitudes. But now, Tropkina suggests, the party recognizes ...

The Other Russia: Yulia Latynina On Putin And The Wildfire Crisis

Yulia Latynina on Putin and the Wildfire Crisis


Western Russia has been suffering from unrelentingly scorching temperatures since mid-June, with no apparent end in sight. The heat has been so intense that spontaneous wildfires have been springing up over the past month both in large cities and more rural areas.

Aside from the resulting toxic air quality, the fires are responsible for the deaths of at least 48 people and the destruction of about 3,000 homes. The Emergency Situations Ministry has admitted that some of them are "out of control,” and a state of emergency has been declared in seven different regions. Critics blame the ministry and the Russian government overall for failing to properly fund and manage the country’s firefighting forces.

Writing for the Moscow Times, award-winning journalist Yulia Latynina discusses what the Russian government’s handling of the fire crisis says about its current state of development – and why it is totally unacceptable by contemporary standards.

Window on Eurasia: MVD to Disband Department Charged with Protecting Strategic Objects, Moscow Weekly Says

Paul Goble

Staunton, August 7 – President Dmitry Medvedev’s plan announced this week to re-brand the much-despised militia "the police” has attracted the most attention, but two other aspect of his new program for the interior ministry appear to be far more important and likely to spark political controversy in the future.
One of them, according to the draft law posted online today, the new Russian police will have the right to enter any residence without a court order and even if the resident does not give his approval. The other has Moscow disbanding the section of the MVD responsible for guarding strategic facilities like closed cities, atomic energy stations and dams.
The provision of the draft law (zakonoproekt2010.ru/section-4/clause-15) are already being compared by rights activists "to the scandalous law on the FSB” because at present citizens are allowed to "refuse to open the door to militiamen [unless the later] explain ...
