Today, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev will hold a meeting in Crimea, and on May 6, Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets will come to discuss the socio-economic development of Sevastopol. Last week, Menyailo reported to the city legislative assembly. Deputies considered his work “insufficient.” They pointed to a “sharp and uncontrolled” rise in prices (according to Rosstat, food prices in Sevastopol increased by more than 70% over the year), the poor condition of roads and problems with garbage disposal.
The publication’s interlocutor in the White House noted that the leadership of Sevastopol and Crimea “has something to criticize for.” “The deputies are making objective claims,” said State Duma deputy Viktor Pinsky, curator of Sevastopol and Crimea in United Russia. Doctor of Political Sciences Alexander Irkhin notes that dissatisfaction with the authorities in Sevastopol is growing.
“It is already clear that Sevastopol did not accept Sergei Menyailo as one of its own and he will not be able to work here,” says Alexander Formanchuk, head of the Crimean branch of the ISEPI Foundation, which is close to the Kremlin. – The situation could be resolved by early elections. The legislative assembly may also have to be restarted,” the expert said. In his opinion, re-elections are possible only “with the sanction of the Kremlin.”
