“Moscow’s development programs have always received special attention on a nationwide scale,” Alexey Chesnakov, head of the Center for Political Conjuncture, said in an interview with MK. – This special position of the” leading edge ” of Russia’s development applies, of course, also to political programs. It can be stated that the current program proposed by the Moscow branch of United Russia fully corresponds to this status, expectations and opportunities that the capital currently has.
According to the political scientist, the obvious achievements of Sergei Sobyanin and the Moscow government in general in recent years can and most likely will be used by the capital’s United Russia as a demonstration of the potential of the ruling party. Muscovites see in practice what this team can do, and the program of the Moscow branch of the party itself, according to Alexey Chesnakov, will be an obvious proof of the strategic vision of the future. This document indicates the existence of specific projects for the development of the city as the largest in Russia and one of the largest agglomeration in the world.
– In some areas, the program of the Moscow “United Russia” can be scaled to the federal level, in some it is not justified, – says the expert. – You need to understand that Moscow has its own dynamics of development, which in some ways coincides with the all-Russian, and in some ways is far ahead of it. In any case, the capital sets the standards for the rest of the country. And in this sense, promisingthe projects and programs developed by the ruling party for Moscow are always worthy of attention at the federal level.
Alexey Chesnakov suggested that the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic is not able to seriously affect the city’s development programs. Only some of the campaign management methods associated with the risk of mass events can be adjusted. The special regime in the city is still maintained.
