Its activity is directed to the organization «People\’s expertise.» The project, in fact, is a parallel vote for a single candidate from the party. Its results on a par with the opinion of the electors will be taken into account at the final regional conference of «United Russia», which identify a single candidate from the party.
— In view of the involvement of sufficiently strong candidates expected keen interest in the primaries — said Christina Yatsenko. — At the same time on the sites will be impossible to take into account the opinions of thousands or more.

Comment IA Primore24:
Valery Trofymovych Tarabarov, head of Vladivostok branch of the Far Eastern Railway, a member of the honorary citizens of Vladivostok:
— Mayor Igor Pushkarev worthy. Institute, who was preparing to mayors in the country do not. I believe that the first two years of operation of such an elected leader as the head of the city is getting into the swing of things. The man initially adapts looking pain points and solutions. And the last years of the first term is determined man, and that it can be expected.
And we saw that Igor in his post pretty much done. In addition to the buildings, which were under the flag of the summit, it is a new technology that cleans the streets from dust, dirt and snow. The city became cleaner. In winter, we did not stand in traffic jams. There is a new urban public transport. And not just buses, and the best by far, the most convenient for all sections of the population. Outdoor lighting, squares — can be a long list. This shows the direction in which the mayor is focusing efforts — the fact that the city is a better, cleaner, and more comfortable.
He did a lot and sees the remaining problems. Right now we expect from Igor Pushkarev will be the greatest returns for our city.
As a person — he is quite sociable person who is able to find solutions to problems. The mayor is available on the radio and on television. Meets with the residents. The mayor is open to dialogue. Also, it is quite a young manager. Close to him concepts and aspirations of young people. All youth available to him.
