Subscribe to the end of the story Advertising of the WhatsApp channel of Turchak was also called one of the political curators of the “new regions”. Turchak headed the Wow Working group so the Russian authorities call the Russian war with Ukraine and regularly presented Putin's reports with a proposal of new benefits and support measures for participants in the “special operation”.

The combination of two high posts, in the Council of the Federation and United Russia, plus active support of the war and the lack of public failures created a reputation as a promising political manager. Against this background, the transfer to Altai looks like a decrease, especially since the Turchak will have to look for a replacement in party leadership.

His likely successor as the Secretary of United Russia, Vedomosti, is called the President’s envoy in the Urals Federal District of Summer Vladimir Yakushev. With him, the party will have to go to regional elections in the fall of the year.

The editor of the Russian BBC service Sofya Samokhina says about what could cause the resignation of Turchak and what it changes for the party: Vladimir Putin sent the secretary of the United Russia General Council Andrei Turchak to act as the Governor of the Altai Republic. De facto this means that the president removed him from the post of head of the party in power.

However, the position of secretary of the General Council of United Russia is one of the most important in the party. In fact, this is the second person - immediately after its chairman Dmitry Medvedev. At the same time, the leader of United Russia does not make operational decisions, does not coordinate ordinary candidates for elections, and does not interact on a regular basis with the regions.

The secretary of the General Council is engaged in all this. Tourchak's career went up after appointing to this position. Several years ago, he was read to the governors of St. Petersburg hometown of Vladimir Putin, and to the speakers of the Federation Council, despite the lack of real political weight in the Russian parliament, the chairman of the upper house is formally considered a third party in the country.

Such a sharp overthrow of a recently successful party functionary can have two explanations. Firstly, the party leadership could make a mistake that Vladimir Putin paid attention to-for example, the procedure for selecting candidates at various levels with participants in “Switch” that became public in party primaries. Putin has repeatedly called them the future elite of Russia, but almost 22 thousand participants in the primaries of the “veterans” were gained only by the winners of the primaries of the primaries became 95 participants in Svo, Turchak said at the end of May.

And only 19 were in the passage places, calculated the “layout” in the Russian register of “foreign agents”. Secondly, the resignation of Turchak can only be the beginning of more large-scale permutations, which many were waiting for after the presidential election. The other day, the Kommersant newspaper wrote that hardware changes should also occur in the Kremlin’s domestic political block, which is led by the first deputy head of the presidential administration Sergey Kiriyenko.

The positions of the party leader and curator of the domestic political bloc have always been connected. Moreover, both predecessors of Kiriyenko had their own people as secretary of the General Council. In the year, Sergei Kiriyenko got Andrei Tourchak, but this figure then seemed to compromise in a rather fierce hardware struggle for the party, which Vyacheslav Volodin was conducted as a former curator of the internal political bloc and Sergey Kiriyenko as a new one.

Candidates for deputies United Russia are coordinating with the domestic political bloc, the strategy of election campaigns especially in regions problematic for the authorities - too. And if people from different political groups are in the leadership of the party and the domestic political bloc of the administration, this can be fraught with friction and conflicts.

If you believe the sources of the Vedomosti newspaper, the main contender for the post of Secretary General of United Russia is considered the presidential envoy to the Urals Vladimir Yakushev, the associate of the Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. That is, for Sergei Kiriyenko, the loss of keys from the party in power may again be a real prospect. And all this happens against the background of the loss of part of the state council of the state council subordinate to him will be divided into two, the second part will be subordinated to the ex-admitant of Putin Alexei Dyumin and the curators of cultural issues will be transferred to Vladimir Medinsky.

Therefore, the final conclusion about the reasons for the resignation of Turchak can be made after all the permutation planned by Vladimir Putin is completed for this political season.
