Without Solov'enko but Cherepkov: at the start - nine candidates for mayor of Vladivostok

Before the elections of Vladivostok Scheduled for Sept. 8 less than a month. To date, the registered candidates - nine. This is Andrew Andreychenko of Liberal Democratic Party - a resident of Novosibirsk and Vladivostok Duma deputy Viktor Vasiliev of the Workers' Party of Russia (Institute Professor FSIN), Vladivostok Duma deputy Oleg Velgodsky from the Communist Party, AlexanderMonastyrev from the "motherland" - Chief Investment Ltd. "Development", Daniel Protchenko of the Russian National Union - director of "VAZ station" (not to Vladivostok worse than a "prison" Institute), acting Mayor Igor Pushkarev of the "United Russia" , a resident of Dzerzhinsk Ilya Ulyanov from the "Communist Russia", pensioner Victor Shards from the "Green Alliance - People's Party," Vladivostok Duma deputy, deputy director of the Municipal Unitary Enterprise "Municipal property" Alexander Yurtaev from the "Just Russia".

For various reasons, denied self-promoter-Muscovite Yuri Arsentieva (because of the "turnifovskogo" past it some thought "man of Nikolayev"), who was walking from the "Civil Force" Vladimir Patsu of the military garrison "Krasny Kut," Nicholas SOSNOVAYA of the party "Russian united labor front, "Paul Schetinin of" democratic elections. " Two self-nominees: temporarily not working Ruslan Matygulin and director of "Center of consultations" Health of Nations "Maria Solov'enko, better known as smutitelnitsy Putin - have withdrawn themselves. And the first honestly admitted that he was unable to collect the signatures, and the second stated that signatures, then collected, but then changed her mind and decided to write a book instead of elections, "Embarrassed President", suddenly realized that "in principle, can not be an officer," - does not sound very convincing. Former vice mayor Vladimir Gilgenberg that came from the "Union citizens", and Nicholas Markovtseva of the "Apple" took the court at the suit of the candidate Yurtaeva because of irregularities in the documents.

There is, first of all, an abundance of new parties that for some reason. put forward no one knows the young and not-so people. Secondly - a considerable number of well-known local politicians in the past. After the "cleansing" of the candidates have a few well-known faces: Pushkarev, Shards, Yurtaev, Velgodsky. With Pushkarev is clear: the administrative resources, support for the "forced" voters, state employees, high awareness (as acting head of the de facto he began his campaign ahead of time, with the possibility of unlimited eyes on the screen TVs). We Cherepkova - fame, turning into a legendary, but age, "off" from the life of Vladivostok. For Velgodskim - especially the second asset of the parliamentary party of the Communist Party, the second - his personal popularity among voters pervorechentsev. Yurtaev - "most people's deputy," with a great experience, but his "affiliation" with the current head of a CBM can be considered his "understudy" Pushkarev.

The head of the electoral headquarters Communist deputy Vladimir Bespalov AP believes that the Cerenkov radiation in this election - a "special mission": "He's the incorruptible, is not for sale, ready to unite everyone, but I think all the words Shards was a good fighter in the 90 - x. Now Viktor Ivanovich did not win, but his percentage of us can pull, so Pushkarev and the "United Russia" needs it. But it will be an indelible disgrace: bright opponent of the power it has become something that is not a puppet, but a person who is using. Even those who prepared his documents - from the same team that leads Pushkarev, it mitkinskie guys "(referring to the political strategist Ilya Mitkin, now calm). If we accept this logic and leave behind the scenes of little-known candidates, as well as Cherenkov Yurtaeva and implicit allies Pushkarev remain binary rivalry "Pushkarev - Velgodsky." Power, of course, are not equal, especially given the fact that the elections will be held in one round and the opposition will be deprived of the opportunity to unite around the second candidate, past the second round. That is, in this election, even second place does not mean anything (it is believed that the amendments to the Electoral Code of the boundary were made intentionally "under Pushkarev"). Another thing, if from the beginning the opposition managed to step on the throat of his ambitions, and agreed on a common candidate, whether Markovtsev, Velgodsky, Shards or someone More. This did not work before the start of the campaign, however, said Oleg Velgodsky, is not over yet: "The negotiations are going, I think we will come to the fact that we will have one candidate who comes to elections and the victory of" United Russia ". Name name I can not yet "Negotiations are four current and former candidates.

At a press conference on Tuesday criticized the Communists expected plans for the current head of Mr. Pushkarev. Comrade. Velgodsky said that Vladivostok ring road - is "the continuation of a fairy tale about 50 kindergartens", and comrade. Bespalov proposed to deal with the monument to Vysotsky, who was reportedly set to private funds Pushkarev, "His official income last year amounted to 1.2 million, and the fabrication and installation of the monument, according to my estimates, the cost of two million and a half - from ?
