Rumors

Election as head of the capital

After Luzhkov was dismissed, in 2010 Sobyanin's name was included in the list of candidates for the post. In October of the same year, the submission was sent to the Moscow City Duma. Sobyanin, a few days before the voting, spoke about his plans if he was elected. In particular, the statesman spoke about the fight against traffic jams and corruption. Sobyanin also mentioned the problems of the Muscovites themselves.

On October 21, 2010, his candidacy for the post of mayor was officially approved in the Moscow City Duma. On the same day, he was released by President Medvedev from the post of Deputy Prime Minister. On November 7, Sobyanin joined the Security Council of the Russian Federation. He became the first head of the capital, who is a member of the Security Council.

Activities

At a meeting with President Medvedev at the end of November 2010, Sobyanin reported on the first month of work. He said that during this time he carried out a "deep review of the budget." During the analysis, he managed to increase the amount of funds that will be directed to solving the transport problem in the capital. So, it was originally planned to spend 60 billion rubles, and after the audit, the figure increased by more than three times. Among the medium-term tasks, Sobyanin named the formation of an automated traffic control system based on innovative technologies. Until the end of 2011it was planned to prepare its main elements. In particular, this concerned the public transport management system based on the GLONASS system.

The President gave a positive assessment of Sobyanin's activities during the first month. The latter, in turn, said that the work is difficult, but interesting. In September 2011, Sobyanin, during a review of the forecast for the social and economic development of the capital, said that in 2012-2014. he will be able to increase the GRP of Moscow by 4% every year.

At the same time, he noted that during his work the budget became more transparent, the public transport system improved, education and he althcare were modernized.

Criticism

As many analysts note, under Sergei Sobyanin, despite his statements, the practice of liquidating historical structures continued to provide space for new construction. For this activity, Luzhkov, the previous head of the city, was also criticized quite strongly. Thus, Rustam Rakhmatullin, who coordinated the Arkhnadzor movement in 2013, noted that the arrival of Sobyanin's team did not make serious changes in attitudes towards the preservation of architectural monuments. Corrections were made only in the declaration. According to Rakhmatullin, the destruction of structures continued, but not at such a fast pace and in a paradoxical way, since the declarations were changed.

Reducing the intensity of construction in the center of the capital, he associated with the outflow of funds due to the crisis and the long-term demand of society. At the same time, Rakhmatullin expressed a negative attitude towards the appointment of Kazints, a large developer, the owner of the Barkley corporation, as Sobyanin's assistant. The latter is known for the fact that at one time he proposed to demolish 70% of the old city. Rakhmatullin made the administrative apparatus of the capital responsible for the destruction of such historical monuments as the Volkonsky house, the Shakhovsky-Glebov-Streshnev estate, the Children's World on Lubyanka, the complex of the Novo-Ekaterininskaya hospital, the Cathedral Mosque.
