In Dagestan, the unknown used weapon against the cops.
In one of the districts of Dagestan, a counterterrorist operation regime was introduced.
And in another district of the Republic of Dagestan, the KTO regime was introduced.
In one of the houses in Makhachkala / Kaspiysk / Derbent militants are blocked.
Self-made explosive devices were found among representatives of the bandit underground in Dagestan.
In Dagestan, gunmen shot a law enforcement officer.
This is a list News from the Republic of Dagestan, which for all recent years, it just so happened, has become familiar to both residents of Dagestan and to citizens of the Russian Federation from other regions. Permanent reports of terrorist attacks, attacks by militants.
Continuous reports of attacks on government officials, security forces. Month after month, year after year. Heads of municipal administrations, heads of republican security agencies, and heads of the region themselves changed, but the issue of security in this North Caucasian republic constantly remained and continues to be on the agenda.
In conjunction with the security crisis - a problem with the republican economy. Dagestan with its gigantic tourist, agricultural, industrial, energy and other potentials was (and remains) one of the most lagging regions in terms of economic development. The republic is “hanging” on subsidies, having a sufficient number of specialists - the same labor resources in the most diverse industries.
Are there any achievements?
And local authorities began to attribute the level of debt to the achievements of the republic. They say that somehow the debt was previously 15 billion rubles, and now it has become “only” 12 billion. And this is against the background of the fact that the region has resorted to federal borrowing for just 0,1% per annum. In fact, it is difficult to call it a loan - take the funds, adjust the production, organize new jobs, and then just give it back from what you earned and get profit from the difference in the percentage of "credit" and inflation. And the inflation rate in Russia, as is well known, is “somewhat” above 0,1% ...
However, with jobs, there is still no way full, as they say, going wrong. In 2016, in Dagestan, real unemployment was recorded at the level of 11-12% of the number of economically active residents. At the same time, in employment centers at the place of residence, fewer unemployed citizens register several times. This leads to more than gracious accountability from the field. So, in 2015, the officially registered unemployment rate in the republic was announced at the level of 2-2,5%. I wonder for whom exactly these figures were published, given the real state of unemployment in the republic? It is no less interesting to find out if some of the local officials calmed these values of “registered” unemployment?
Against this background, the level of budget subsidies is one of the highest among all the subjects of the Russian Federation. According to some data, the subsidy exceeds two thirds of the consolidated regional budget. That is, for every ruble earned by Dagestan, the republic receives at least two from the federal budget.
There are hands, there are heads, desires to work — more than enough, resources — abound. The questions are old (classic): “who is to blame?” And “what to do?”
And it seems that the cup of patience of the federal authorities is overflowing. It overflowed from the fact that no previous personnel solutions to the problem were solved. The representative of one clan, albeit a mega-authoritative one, getting into power, was automatically subjected to obstruction by representatives of clans of others. A change of leadership from among representatives of some local elites to representatives of other (same local) elites led to a change in polarity, but not to a rectification of the situation as a whole. Sticks in the wheels at the local level began to poke those who were outside the offices of regional authorities. And so - for more than a quarter of a century. A paradoxical situation has formed, when officials, even with the desire to change life in the republic for the better, were faced with virtually insurmountable barriers from veiled opponents who were used to solving issues in the republic "according to the law of the mountains." And this “law of the mountains” often did not overlap with generally accepted legislation.
The overflow of the patience of the federal authorities led to the appointment of the acting head of the republic as the Varyag. This, of course, is about Vladimir Vasilyev, who was thrown into a Dagestan embrasure. This is not just a man from the so-called presidential reserve. This is one of the most famous politicians of the federal scale. One of those who, having no “root” relationship to Dagestan, was at one time directly related to the security system.
Why precisely Vasiliev? First, as noted, Vasiliev is a person from the security field. The former in this area are not. From the track record: First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, Deputy Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Security Issues. Secondly, Vladimir Vasilyev is an experienced lawyer (PhD in Law), as well as a person who, to put it mildly, is not extremely distant from the economy. Thirdly, Vladimir Vasiliev has both Russian and Asian roots, which may well help him to organize work in such a multinational republic as Dagestan.
And retired Colonel-General Vladimir Vasilyev arrived in Dagestan on the eve. I started the activity. Regardless of his party affiliation, regardless of whether Vasiliev will lead the Dagestan region in the end, I frankly want to wish him success in the new post. And how not to wish success to Daghestan himself, his industrious multinational people, who, due to the squabbling of local elites, cannot always realize themselves in the field of creation.
Dramatically in the near future, of course, the situation will not change. Too many accumulated problems. The main thing that Vasiliev did not interfere with work. And if they discover themselves, then the head of the region will certainly need a blank check for solving such issues in favor of the interests of not a single group of individuals, but for the benefit of the whole republic. Frankly, I want to read in reports from Dagestan about the opening of new industries, expanding the agricultural sector, raising the standard of living, and not about shootouts, endless counter-terrorist operations and all kinds of "amirs" growing after the rain, and emissaries.
