Lots of talk and nothing to say...

Report of the Governor of the region Evgeny Savchenko on the results of the activities of the Government of the region in 2016

Dear deputies of the Belgorod Regional Duma! Dear invitees! Dear friends!

Belgorod region entered the landmark, symbolic for our people year 2017 confidently, with a good start for the future, as evidenced by the final indicators of the development of the region in the past year and five months of this year. All statistical materials for 2016 were distributed to those present in the hall. They have been repeatedly published in the media and they say one thing: all social obligations to the residents of the region over the past year have been fulfilled, and most of the indicators of the economic development of the region over the past year have in fact exceeded the forecast ones.

But today, speaking with an annual report on the work done, I cannot fail to note in this historical context one more fateful date: we have been living in a new state, the Russian Federation, for 25 years. A responsible and important stage in the constitutional construction and state structure of the new Russia has been passed. Together we have come a long way, overcame many obstacles, acquired, sometimes making mistakes, unique experience, and today the gigantic breakthrough that was made is obvious - a strong, sovereign, democratic world power, our Motherland - Russia, has revived from the post-perestroika chaos and disorder.

Therefore, summing up the results of the socio-economic development of the region over the past year, I want to deviate from the usual format and evaluate the significant contribution of the Belgorod region to the formation of modern Russia over the past quarter of a century, and then, together with you, dear friends, determine the ways for the development of the Belgorod region in the medium term. perspective, taking into account the forthcoming regular five-year electoral cycle. This is what we're talking about today.

So, the modern image of the Belgorod region is strikingly different from what we had at the beginning of the journey. Today, our region is at the forefront of the socio-economic development of Russia in many respects, and is famous for its record-breaking achievements in industry, agriculture, housing construction, and the development of the social sphere. And this is the great merit of our fellow countrymen, who did not give in to difficulties, did not complain about fate, but stubbornly went forward and selflessly achieved their goals.

Over the past quarter of a century, we have managed not only to preserve, but also to create a new framework for the regional economy, to provide a developed social, transport and engineering infrastructure. We did not allow the impoverishment of the people, but on the contrary, we created relatively decent conditions for the work and life of Belgorod residents. Hence the conclusion: the task of the authorities at all levels, and if you like, the mission of comprehensive development of the region and improving the quality of life of its inhabitants has been completed. How it looks in dry statistics, let's see.

Dynamics of development of our region for a quarter of a century. The population in 1990 was almost 1 million 400 thousand people. Over the past years, it has increased by 155 thousand. And as of January 1 of this year, the population of our region amounted to 1 million 553 thousand people.

The next indicator - the index of industrial production - increased in comparison with 1990 by 3.2 times (?).

The agricultural index over the years has increased by almost three times (?).

Entering housing. In 1990, the region commissioned 717 thousand square meters, last year 1 million 350 thousand square meters - almost twice as much. Including the commissioning of individual housing - earlier, individual housing construction was practically not encouraged at all, not only in our region, but in the whole country - last year the figure increased 20 times compared to 1990.

Important social indicators. Child mortality: in 1990 it was 14.7 per 1,000 births, last year - 6, decreased by 2.5 times.

The number of students in our five leading universities. In 1990 - 18.7 thousand people, last year - over 50 thousand people, increased by almost 3 times (?).

How has our intellectual potential, scientific. The number of doctors of sciences increased more than 6 times during this period.

And another very interesting indicator, please take it without any irony, is alcohol consumption. It is known that in the 90s the whole country consumed at least 11 liters per person per year. In 1996, 1 ​​Belgorod citizen consumed 8.26 liters of alcohol, in 2016 - 5.33 liters. Decrease in one and a half times. This is also, I think, a very important indicator, and here we occupy a leading position together with the republics of the North Caucasus.

On the other hand, how has the place of the Belgorod region changed among the regions in 25 years.

In terms of population in 1990, we occupied 39th place among the regions of the Russian Federation, over the past year we have risen by 10 points - 29th place.

In terms of gross regional product, economy. In the 1990s we were ranked 36th, last year we were 27th, up 9 points.

The volume of gross regional product per capita is the most important economic indicator. In 1998, we ranked 36th, last year - 17th, an increase of 19 points.

The volume of agricultural production in agricultural enterprises. In 1998 - 15th place, last year in 2nd place after the Krasnodar Territory, an increase of 13 points.

The turnover of small enterprises is an important indicator showing how small business is developing in our country. In the 1990s, we were in 49th place, now we are in 19th place. An increase of 30 points.

Retail trade turnover per capita. In the 1990s, we occupied 40th place, now we are already 27th, an increase of 13 points.

The unemployment rate is a very important social indicator. In the 90s, we were in 23rd place, last year we were in 7th, an increase of 16 points.

The next indicator is the population below the poverty line, according to which we ranked 18-20 in the 1990s, last year we were in 2nd place, that is, in fact, we have the least population below the poverty line relative to almost all regions of the Russian Federation.

And a couple more indicators that characterize the social dynamics of our region is the subsistence minimum. In the 1990s, we were in 24th place, last year we were in 2nd place, an increase of 22 points.

Average per capita cash income per month. In the 90s, we were 47th, now, last year, we are in 21st place among the regions of the Russian Federation.

As a final commentary on the statistics, I will say that according to the results of the rating of the quality of life of the population in the Russian regions, conducted by the RIA Rating agency, the Belgorod Region currently ranks 6th in the Russian Federation. Ahead of us are Moscow, St. Petersburg, the Moscow Region, the Republic of Tatarstan and the Krasnodar Territory.

And today, analyzing the path we have traveled, and most importantly, learning lessons for the future, I will allow myself to note the key strategic decisions of the regional authorities, the implementation of which allowed us to take the path of social stability and advanced economic growth in the nineties and zero years. Among these factors, I would like to highlight the following.

First. In the 90s, when the economic transformation was in full swing in the country, which led to the collapse of the economy and the impoverishment of people, the authorities of the region were faced with the task of how, on the one hand, to maintain the standard of living of people, and on the other hand, to preserve and strengthen their hope for tomorrow. In this regard, two projects were initiated: firstly, it is support for individual housing construction, and secondly, a decision was made to gasify the region by the method of public construction. In a few years, the Belgorod region, the first in the country, completed gasification and 2/3 of rural residents received "blue fuel".

The project to support the construction of one's own house also proved to be very successful, especially in the conditions of not monetary, but barter relations in the 90s. Individual housing construction received priority and resource support (initially, as you know, in rural areas, and then in regional centers and cities in our region). Over the years, more than 14.5 million square meters have been built in the region. meters of estate housing, which allowed almost 500 thousand people, or every third Belgorod citizen, to improve their existing living conditions or change their apartment to their own house, and this is our great social achievement. Moreover, already in the 2000s, we managed to switch to a new urban planning format for Russia - agglomerations. And no one has yet been able to repeat this experience of ours. Having implemented these two projects, people felt that they were not left to the mercy of fate.

The second factor. A dramatic situation in the 1990s developed in agriculture. The practically uncontrollable disintegration of collective forms of management brought almost the entire village and the villagers into a state of stupor. However, we were the first in the country to find a way out of this situation and boldly embarked on a radical reform of agriculture by organizing large vertically integrated structures. And today our agriculture is one of the most advanced in Russia, and we have no equal in terms of production per hectare of arable land.

Along with the industrialization of agriculture and the emergence of large enterprises in the region, a project to support rural entrepreneurs "Family Farms of Belogorye" has been initiated and is currently operating, which today unites over 5 thousand family enterprises. And this project has not so much economic as great social significance.

Of course, our extraordinary decision to buy up agricultural land into regional ownership also became the basis for success in agriculture. We bought almost half. Thus, we proved that it is not at all private ownership of land that leads to the prosperity of the village, but rather the opposite.

Third factor. All these years, the Regional Government has been building a favorable investment climate based on trust, transparency and maximum involvement of regional and district authorities in the implementation of investment projects of any format, as well as sharing risks with investors through the provision of guarantees, guarantees, etc.

And our efforts were not in vain: the region has never experienced a lack of investments, and in the National rating of the state of the investment climate in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the Belgorod region took second place last year. Our credo - economic freedom for entrepreneurs with the maximum support of the authorities - will continue to determine the main vector of the region's economic development.

The fourth factor. We understood that the region could not be successful without an intellectual, scientific elite, modern universities and, above all, universities. That is why it was decided more than 20 years ago to organize the BelSU Development Fund. With the support of the entire region, a powerful state university was created on the site of the pedagogical institute, which soon entered the country's university elite and acquired the status of a national research university.

Other universities of the region are not far behind: for example, the Belgorod University of Cooperation, Economics and Law became the first in the country among non-state universities, and the Technological University has recently become a pivotal university that plays a key role in the development of an innovative economy. Significantly changed their external and internal appearance and became very prestigious universities Agricultural University. Gorin, Law Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Putilin, Regional Institute of Arts and Culture.

Fifth. The region's economy cannot develop sustainably without a well-established system for the reproduction of qualified blue-collar workers. That is why our region was the first in Russia to implement a project to create the Belgorod model of vocational education, the essence of which is the deep integration of the interests of employers, colleges and students themselves. And we have achieved the main thing: studying in our technical schools has become attractive and prestigious for young people, and enterprises of the region receive well-trained personnel.

The sixth factor. Nothing influences the formation of the mood and consciousness of citizens as much as the state of the living environment. Realizing this, the Green Capital project was initiated, which is being successfully implemented at the present time. This project has many sub-projects: landscaping of public places, and continuous afforestation, and the laying of new parks and recreational areas. The project "Green Capital" appealed to all Belgorod residents. As there is no limit to the perfection of the environment, there will be no end to this project. It is our given, as it changes not only the environment, but also the souls of people for the better.

Not limited to the "Green Capital" project and realizing that for our region it is extremely important to preserve the natural environment and ecological balance, which have been severely deformed over the past centuries and decades, especially with regard to soil fertility, the Concept of Basin Nature Management and the Program for Biologization of Agriculture have been developed in the region . The first years of their implementation gave an encouraging result: for the first time in the last few centuries, the degradation of our main wealth, black soil, has been suspended. This is an extremely important result for the present and future generations of the region's residents.

Seventh factor. A special approach in the Belgorod region has also been developed in road construction. So, in the zero years, a program was implemented to equip the pavement of all streets in all settlements of the region. Tens of thousands of households have received paved roads thanks to this program. Their length was 9175 kilometers. This project received strong support from the residents of the region, and only those who lived in rural off-road conditions can truly appreciate its significance.

Eighth factor. In the years of radical changes that we have experienced, it was more important than ever to preserve the spiritual and moral code of society and not to lose the cultural values ​​of the people. I believe that we have successfully coped with this task. Hundreds of cultural institutions have been rebuilt and renovated - clubs, houses and palaces of culture, libraries, museums, theaters, philharmonic halls, new ones have appeared and hundreds of creative teams have been revived. The museum-reserve "Prokhorovskoye Pole" has become a spiritual, historical and cultural mecca of national importance. Hundreds of churches have been restored and rebuilt during this time, and we are grateful to the Russian Orthodox Church for productive cooperation in the spiritual revival of the region. The fruits of our efforts are reflected in the ranking of regions in terms of spiritual and moral state, where our region took 1st place in the Central Federal District.

Ninth factor. Along with the development of culture in the region, great attention has always been paid to education, health care, social protection, support for the elderly, the disabled, children, as well as support for physical culture and sports, including high-performance sports. Svetlana Khorkina, Fedor Emelianenko, the Belogorye volleyball club have become the pride of all residents of the region.

Tenth. An innovative approach was also demonstrated in the organization of management in all government bodies. We were the first in the country to make a historic transition from the old, situational management to a new project management model. It, in combination with the transition to an electronic format for the provision of public services to residents of the region through the MFC on the principle of "one window", not only increases the efficiency of state and municipal government, but also builds a new client-oriented type of relationship between government and citizens.

I have listed, dear friends, the main, but far from complete list of the key areas of our joint work, which made it possible to transfer the region to a new, modern, competitive paradigm of socio-economic development…..etc. and so on.

Political scientist Dmitry Oreshkin: a common feature of the elections is the disbelief of citizens that something can be changed

A distinctive feature of these elections was the general passivity of the population, which is convenient for the authorities and has no prospects for the country, political scientist Dmitry Oreshkin believes.

Moscow. According to the expert, the strategy of low turnout worked in the capital. “For Muscovites, the elections turned out to be uninteresting and unimportant,” Oreshkin said. - "This does not apply to the controlled electorate (military personnel, activists, pensioners, hospital patients, etc.), whose representatives traditionally vote for the ruling party and bring about 10%." In conditions of low turnout, these votes become decisive.

According to Oreshkin, "alternative" candidates have chances in the central districts of Moscow, in Akademichesky, Universitetsky and Gagarinsky districts, as well as along Leningradsky Prospekt.

Regions. Oreshkin said that home-based and early voting would bring about 5% to pro-government candidates, which, given the low turnout, is a significant percentage. According to him, under "normal conditions" home-based voting is 0.5% of all voters, but in these elections the proportion of "home-based" voters will be a significant part.

In the city of Yakutsk, elections of the mayor are being held, and deputies of city councils are being held in 11 regional centers. Many other municipalities will elect local deputies and heads. The main feature of the single voting day in 2017 is testing instead of absentee ballots of a new system for including a voter in lists outside the place of residence.

A citizen of the Russian Federation registered in this region, city or village, who is 18 years old by the voting day, has the right to vote in the elections that will be held on that day in a particular region, city or village.

What hours are polling stations open?

In the Perm Territory and Karelia, sections will work from 8:00 to 22:00, in the Kaliningrad Region - from 7:00 to 21:00.

How many ballots will there be and how to fill them out correctly

The number of ballots depends on how many elections of different levels are taking place at the same time in your area.

To receive a ballot, you need a passport or equivalent document. Each voter has the right to receive a ballot paper and fills it out in a booth equipped for secret voting. When filling out the ballot, a tick or other sign is placed in the box relating to the candidate or party list. If the ballot does not contain marks in the squares opposite the names of candidates or parties, or it contains more marks than is allowed, it is declared invalid. Such ballots will be taken into account when calculating the total number of votes of voters, but will not be counted for any of the candidates.

What happens if you ruin your ballot

If you did not intentionally spoil the ballot, you can ask the members of the commission to issue a new form. The spoiled ballot paper is immediately canceled (lower left corner is cut off) and the voter is given a new one. When counting votes, a spoiled ballot is not taken into account. Ballots of "unspecified form" are also not taken into account. These are torn forms found in the ballot boxes or those that do not have a seal, stamp, signatures of two members of the commission.

The presence of any inscriptions or drawings made by the voter on the ballot outside of the voting boxes does not matter.

What to do if I'm away during voting

This year, in 20 regions, where or deputies of the legislative assemblies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, a new system will be tested to replace absentee ballots. These are the republics, North Ossetia, Krasnodar and territories, Penza, Sakhalin, regions and the city.

In these regions, instead of receiving absentee certificates, voters now need to submit special applications to the election commission in order to be included in the voting lists at a polling station in another city. It is possible to "detach" only within the boundaries of a single constituency - the territory in which elections are held. For the election of the governor, for example, this is the territory of the subject of the federation. That is, it will not work to vote in the elections for the head of Buryatia while in Moscow.

The new system is being prepared for the 2018 presidential election, when it will be possible to vote in this way anywhere in the country.

Where and when to apply to vote out of place of residence

You can apply to be included in the voter lists where you intend to vote. 45 days before the election, you can apply to the local territorial election commission, and 10 days before the election - to the precinct. The application can also be submitted through the MFC or the public services website.

You can do the same at your election committee if you have not left yet, but you know for sure that you will be in a different place that day. Information about you will be transferred to a specific polling station, where you will be included in the list, and you will be able to vote.

The deadline for filing such applications is five days before the vote.

If there are less than five days left before the elections, and you suddenly decide to vote not at the place of registration, you can submit an application to your precinct commission. This will need to be done no later than 14.00 Saturday - the day preceding the voting day.

A special stamp will be placed on your application. With such an application and a passport, you will come to vote at a special polling station in the locality where you will be on a single voting day. There, a fragment of this stamp will be peeled off and pasted opposite your data in the list of voters, and the application itself will be confiscated from you.

Where absentee ballots will operate

Absentee ballots will be used only in two regions - in the Leningrad and Bryansk regions, where by-elections to the State Duma will be held in single-member districts. You can also vote on them only within the constituency. The certificate must be obtained in advance from the electoral committee at the place of residence. It is issued by the territorial commission not earlier than 45 and not later than 11 days before the voting day, by the precinct commission - starting 10 days before the elections. Absentee ballots are not issued on election day.
