Medvedev has started settling scores
After the State Duma elections, President of the Russian Federation Dmitri Medvedev said he would draw conclusions regarding the activities of all governors that hadn't been able to ensure "United Russia" Party's victory.
Governor of Vologodsk province Vyacheslav Pozgalev was the first to resign yesterday since the least number of people who voted for the ruling party were from that province.
"Pozgalev will be followed by the governors of Taroslavsk, Kostroma, Moscow, Arkhangelsk, Murmansk, Sverdlovsk, Leningrad and Karelia provinces and the Primor outskirt. "United Russia" received the least number of votes in these provinces in particular," "Comersant" writes.
According to the press, Governor of Saratov province Pavel Ipatov has to resign before the New Year.
There are also rumors going around about the resignation of Governor of Ulyanovsk Sergey Morogov, who is currently in the capital. However, the governor says he has come to Moscow for other purposes.
