Occupied territories of Kherson and Zaporizhia regions of Ukraine, and also captured by Donetsk and Luhansk regions in Russia plan to merge into one federal district and join the federation , according to “Medusa”, citing three sources close to the administration of the President of the Russian Federation.
According to one source, the district should appear after pseudo-referendums on joining Russia are held in the occupied territories of Ukraine.
“Ukrainian territories will not join the existing districts” , – he explained.
According to the publication, the deputy head of the Putin administration's department for ensuring the affairs of the State Council, Boris Rapoport, who was already “dealing with the Donbass issue” in 2014, is responsible for creating the “district”.
< p>Rapoport is called a “crisis manager” in the Kremlin. For example, he worked in the Primorsky Krai for the gubernatorial campaign in 2018 after the previous candidate from power failed to win the Communist election. In 2021, the official entered the headquarters of “United Russia” in the elections to the State Duma, “the newspaper writes.
According to Medusa's interlocutors, Rapoport is currently engaged in “recruitment” to work in the occupation administrations of the self-proclaimed republics of Donbass, as well as in the “military-civil administrations” in Kherson and Zaporizhia regions of Ukraine. It is the “officials” he has selected who must prepare for referendums on joining Russia. So far, two dates are being discussed. The first – “in mid-July, if the situation at the front allows.” And the second, “more real” – September 11, the only day of voting in Russia (the same day the gubernatorial elections will take place).
At the same time, the Kremlin is looking for political technologists for the positions of “political instructors” or “zampolits” who will work in the Ukrainian territories occupied by Russian troops. At the same time, the search is no longer conducted by employees of the Department of Internal Policy, but by the Department of State Affairs, where Rapoport works.
and Zaporozhye regions. One of Medusa's sources even named the official the main candidate for the post of “Plenipotentiary Representative of the President” in the new “federal district”.
In general, the Kremlin gives priority to Russian personnel to work in the occupied territories. In particular, the leadership of the “administrations” has already been replaced in the puppet “DPR” and “LPR”, and all processes are personally supervised by the First Deputy Head of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation Sergei Kiriyenko.
“For Kiriyenko, this is a model region. He wants to show Putin that he has a management team, that he can take on even such complex tasks and succeed him, “said a source close to the AP, adding that the first deputy chairman of the AP has more mundane interests:” In the region There will be very serious financial flows, Kiriyenko wants to control them. ” There should be no confusion between the distribution of budget funding and local figures. The money must go in the right direction. “
