Great interview with Igor Koshin. Frankly about the main thing

In January 2005, Igor Viktorovich again took part in the elections of the Head of Administration of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, reached the second round, but lost to Alexei Barinov. As part of the same voting day, Igor Koshin was re-elected to the Assembly of Deputies of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug in a single-mandate constituency, and already in March he headed the highest legislative body of the subject.

Igor Koshin represented the Nenets Autonomous Okrug in the Federation Council of the Russian Federation from February 9, 2012 to February 26, 2014, and was a member of the Federation Council Committee on Rules and Organization of Parliamentary Activities.

Working as a governor

On February 22, 2014, Igor Koshin was appointed acting governor of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug by presidential decree due to the expiration of the powers of the previous governor Igor Fedorov. On September 14 of the same year, Koshin was elected governor of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, receiving 76.7% of the votes. On September 20 he officially took office.

At the inauguration ceremony, Koshin thanked those gathered for the trust they placed in him and presented the concept for the development of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug until 2025. The new governor identified three main tasks: to provide elderly people with comfortable living conditions, to guarantee a decent environment for the younger generation and to help middle-aged people realize their potential.

One of Igor Viktorovich’s first steps in his new position was administrative reform. He reduced the number of managers, and the number of executive authorities in the region decreased from 23 to 11. Over the course of three years, the income of district officials was reduced three times. In total, the salary reduction was 30-40%. The number of officials was reduced by 125 people, expenses for them - by 350 million rubles. Among other things, Koshin cut his salary by 47%.

Igor Koshin identified the main tasks in his new position as solving housing problems, building social facilities, developing transport infrastructure, as well as implementing projects aimed at improving the quality of life of citizens.

Another important project implemented by Igor Koshin as governor was preparation for the construction of the deep-water ice-free port Indiga in the Arctic. The cost of construction will reach 120 billion rubles. The main task of the port will be the infrastructural opening of the region.

Igor Koshin has a verified page on the VKontakte social network. There he, when he was governor, provided subscribers with reports on the work done and current news about the life of the region.

Igor Koshin now

On September 28, 2017, the media reported that Vladimir Putin accepted the resignation of Igor Koshin. The official reason given by the press service of the governor of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug was “change of job.” It is noteworthy that Koshin’s resignation was the fifth in four days: since September 25, Valery Shantsev (Nizhegorsk region), Nikolai Merkushkin (Samara region), Viktor Tolokonsky (Krasnoyarsk Territory) and Ramzan Abdulatipov (Republic of Dagestan) left the governor’s post. In December of the same year, Koshin received a new appointment - Deputy Minister of the Russian Federation for North Caucasus Issues.

Igor Koshin grew up and spent his entire life in the North, knew well the needs of the people of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, he belonged to it and people trusted him. Therefore, it is not surprising that the young politician immediately took third place in the elections for the head of the city of Naryan-Mar.

Republic The edges Regions Cities federal significance Returning from the review, Kutuzov, accompanied by the Austrian general, went into his office and, calling the adjutant, ordered to be given some papers related to the state of the arriving troops, and letters received from Archduke Ferdinand, who commanded the advanced army. Prince Andrei Bolkonsky entered the commander-in-chief's office with the required papers. Kutuzov and an Austrian member of the Gofkriegsrat sat in front of the plan laid out on the table. “Ah...” said Kutuzov, looking back at Bolkonsky, as if with this word he was inviting the adjutant to wait, and continued the conversation he had begun in French. “I’m just saying one thing, General,” Kutuzov said with a pleasant grace of expression and intonation, which forced you to listen carefully to every leisurely spoken word. It was clear that Kutuzov himself enjoyed listening to himself. “I only say one thing, General, that if the matter depended on my personal desire, then the will of His Majesty Emperor Franz would have been fulfilled long ago.” I would have joined the Archduke long ago. And believe my honor, it would be a joy for me personally to hand over the highest command of the army to a more knowledgeable and skilled general than I am, of which Austria is so abundant, and to relinquish all this heavy responsibility. But circumstances are stronger than us, General. And Kutuzov smiled with an expression as if he was saying: “You have every right not to believe me, and even I don’t care at all whether you believe me or not, but you have no reason to tell me this. And that’s the whole point.” The Austrian general looked dissatisfied, but could not help but respond to Kutuzov in the same tone. “On the contrary,” he said in a grumpy and angry tone, so contrary to the flattering meaning of the words he spoke, “on the contrary, your Excellency’s participation in the common cause is highly valued by His Majesty; but we believe that the present slowdown deprives the glorious Russian troops and their commanders-in-chief of the laurels that they are accustomed to reaping in battles,” he finished his apparently prepared phrase. Kutuzov bowed without changing his smile. “And I am so convinced and, based on the last letter with which His Highness Archduke Ferdinand honored me, I assume that the Austrian troops, under the command of such a skillful assistant as General Mack, have now won a decisive victory and no longer need our help,” said Kutuzov. The general frowned. Although there was no positive news about the defeat of the Austrians, there were too many circumstances that confirmed the general unfavorable rumors; and therefore Kutuzov’s assumption about the victory of the Austrians was very similar to ridicule. But Kutuzov smiled meekly, still with the same expression, which said that he had the right to assume this. Indeed, the last letter he received from Mac's army informed him of the victory and the most advantageous strategic position of the army. “Give me this letter here,” said Kutuzov, turning to Prince Andrei. - If you please see. - And Kutuzov, with a mocking smile at the ends of his lips, read in German to the Austrian general the following passage from a letter from Archduke Ferdinand: “Wir haben vollkommen zusammengehaltene Krafte, nahe an 70,000 Mann, um den Feind, wenn er den Lech passirte, angreifen und schlagen zu konnen. Wir konnen, da wir Meister von Ulm sind, den Vortheil, auch von beiden Uferien der Donau Meister zu bleiben, nicht verlieren; mithin auch jeden Augenblick, wenn der Feind den Lech nicht passirte, die Donau ubersetzen, uns auf seine Communikations Linie werfen, die Donau unterhalb repassiren und dem Feinde, wenn er sich gegen unsere treue Allirte mit ganzer Macht wenden wollte, seine Absicht alabald vereitelien. Wir werden auf solche Weise den Zeitpunkt, wo die Kaiserlich Ruseische Armee ausgerustet sein wird, muthig entgegenharren, und sodann leicht gemeinschaftlich die Moglichkeit finden, dem Feinde das Schicksal zuzubereiten, so er verdient.” [We have quite concentrated forces, about 70,000 people, so that we can attack and defeat the enemy if he crosses Lech. Since we already own Ulm, we can retain the benefit of command of both banks of the Danube, therefore, every minute, if the enemy does not cross the Lech, cross the Danube, rush to his communication line, and below cross the Danube back to the enemy, if he decides to turn all his power on our faithful allies, prevent his intention from being fulfilled. Thus, we will cheerfully await the time when the imperial Russian army is completely ready, and then together we will easily find the opportunity to prepare for the enemy the fate he deserves.”] Kutuzov sighed heavily, ending this period, and looked attentively and affectionately at the member of the Gofkriegsrat. “But you know, Your Excellency, the wise rule is to assume the worst,” said the Austrian general, apparently wanting to end the jokes and get down to business. He involuntarily looked back at the adjutant. “Excuse me, General,” Kutuzov interrupted him and also turned to Prince Andrei. - That's it, my dear, take all the reports from our spies from Kozlovsky. Here are two letters from Count Nostitz, here is a letter from His Highness Archduke Ferdinand, here is another,” he said, handing him several papers. - And from all this, neatly, in French, compose a memorandum, a note, for the sake of visibility of all the news that we had about the actions of the Austrian army. Well, then, introduce him to his Excellency. Prince Andrei bowed his head as a sign that he understood from the first words not only what was said, but also what Kutuzov wanted to tell him. He collected the papers, and, making a general bow, quietly walking along the carpet, went out into the reception room. Despite the fact that not much time has passed since Prince Andrei left Russia, he has changed a lot during this time. In the expression of his face, in his movements, in his gait, the former pretense, fatigue and laziness were almost not noticeable; he had the appearance of a man who does not have time to think about the impression he makes on others, and is busy doing something pleasant and interesting. His face expressed more satisfaction with himself and those around him; his smile and gaze were more cheerful and attractive.

Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the resignation of the Governor of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug (NAO) Igor Koshin. Mr. Koshin led the region for three years. Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Alexander Tsybulsky has been appointed acting governor.

Igor Koshin became the third governor whom Vladimir Putin dismissed since the beginning of the week. The decree is posted on the official Kremlin website. Mr. Koshin led the NAO for three years: he was appointed acting governor in February 2014, and in September he was elected in direct elections (he received 76.7% of the votes). Mr. Koshin’s career has been connected with the Nenets Autonomous Okrug for the last 17 years. During this time, he was repeatedly elected as a deputy of the Assembly of Deputies of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, participated in the elections of the head of Naryan-Mar and the head of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug (lost in the second round in January 2005). He headed the parliament of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug from 2005 to 2012. From 2012 to 2014, he represented the region in the Federation Council.

“All these three years I woke up with the price of a barrel of oil on my phone screen. Because for our region these figures mean a lot - the opportunity to maintain a huge budget system, which employs 75% of the region’s residents,” Igor Koshin told Kommersant. “When I became governor, the oil market had already begun to become feverish, and I was at a crossroads - to continue budget “distributions” that would soon end, or to change the system, making it, if not independent from oil, then at least resistant to fluctuations in its value. I chose the second path and I don’t regret anything,” says the former governor. According to him, “nobody likes reforms, but everyone wants to benefit from their results. I’m glad that these results will remain after me.”

In his address to the district administration staff and deputies of the parliament of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Igor Koshin said that he had decided to resign “in connection with the transition to a new place of work.”

“We have laid the foundation, it’s up to you to build further, I ask you to unite and move on so that our district is a territory where people can live comfortably and joyfully,” said Mr. Koshin, emphasizing that it was a “great honor” for him to lead “his native Nenets district "

Deputy Minister of Economic Development Alexander Tsybulsky was appointed acting governor. Note that at the beginning of 2015, the legislation for the so-called nesting doll regions was changed. Now the governor of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug will be elected by the legislative assembly from three candidates nominated by the president, to whom they, in turn, will be proposed by the governor of the Arkhangelsk region, Igor Orlov.

Yesterday, the leaders of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Viktor Tolokonsky, and the leaders of Dagestan, Ramazan Abdulatipov, announced their resignation as governors. However, presidential decrees on their resignations have not yet been published. Also, as Kommersant previously reported, in the near future we can expect the resignations of the governors of the Murmansk region Marina Kovtun, the Ivanovo region Pavel Konkov, and the Omsk region Viktor Nazarov. They all deny the upcoming resignation.

Social policy of the head of the region, corruption or the confrontation between Lukoil and Rosneft?

From sources in the Kremlin it became known that the optimistic forecasts of the Nenets governor about maintaining his post did not come true: he is vacating the post of head of the region. Experts give different versions of the reasons for the resignation: some talk about the social tension that arose in the region as a result of cuts in social programs; someone considers Igor Koshin to be a protégé of Lukoil and talks about the competition between Vagit Alikperov and Igor Sechin, in whose confrontation Igor Koshin became the bargaining chip.

Fifteen billion - and it's all down the drain?

Fifteen billion is the annual budget of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the smallest subject of the Russian Federation. At one time, Igor Koshin made a maxim that the Nenets Autonomous Okrug reminds him of a golden, clumsy barge: work should be in full swing around and construction ringing, but in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug there should be silence. We need to fix everything. And in an interview with journalists, he said: “My task is to make the region economically resistant to changes in the hydrocarbon market. But any reform is a way out of the comfort zone. Especially when this comfort was formed during a period of high oil prices and the district lived with billions of dollars in account balances.” But get out of your comfort zone. Yesterday he fought off journalists, claiming that he was working “as usual”, and today he is leaving his post.

Igor Koshin has led the region since 2014 and, by an unfortunate coincidence, it was during these three years that the region’s income decreased by a third. Taking into account the size of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug’s budget, it is 5 billion, which, according to the official version, is due to the fall in oil prices. And everything would have been fine, but in 2017 a scandal broke out in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug: against the backdrop of falling incomes, the Nenets authorities ordered vacation. The motivation was simple: the fall in income caused a reduction in salaries, and this was sort of like compensation for lost income. At the same time, other public sector employees did not receive such attention from the governor. But the region did not wait for new investors: despite the assurances of the Nenets authorities that the situation is improving and that the budget in terms of growth rates is one of the best in the country, investors are fleeing from the Nenets Autonomous Okrug. In 2015, it was possible to attract 115 billion investments, and in 2016 - only 85 billion, and in 2017, the ex-governor only hoped that it would be possible to reach the pre-crisis level.
