An electrical engineer by training, Andrey Travnikov, Acting Governor of the Novosibirsk Region, was remembered in Vologda for the fact that in a year he "repaid all the negativity", but after that he was sent to the Siberians, "full of self-esteem." Regional deputies at first were discouraged by the unexpected choice of the president, but on October 9 they will be able to get to know him personally.

Vladimir Gorodetsky's successor, who resigned of his own accord, will fly to Novosibirsk on October 9 and will be introduced to members of the government, deputies and heads of municipalities on the same day. Taiga.info provides for acquaintance the biography of the acting governor, opinions about him from Novosibirsk and Vologda, as well as his own statements.

Andrey Travnikov was born on February 1, 1971 in the city of Cherepovets. He graduated from the Cherepovets Metallurgical College in 1990 and then from Cherepovets State University with a degree in Electric Drive and Automation. From 1992 to 2006, he worked in various positions at the Cherepovets Metallurgical Plant (OJSC "Severstal"), then four years - CEO of LLC "Electrical Repair".

In 2010, Travnikov began his career in the municipal and public service. In 2010-2012 - First Deputy Mayor of Cherepovets Oleg Kuvshinnikov, then his first deputy as governor, from 2014 to 2016 - Deputy Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in Northwestern federal district, since 2016 - the head of Vologda. On October 6, Vladimir Putin appointed him acting governor of the Novosibirsk Region, Vladimir Gorodetsky, "at his own request".

“Honestly, I am discouraged. I could have expected anything, but I did not imagine that someone from Vologda would be delegated. Frankly, I’ll say that, to some extent, I’m even going with my thoughts, because someone came to us in the center of Siberia from that region. The most interesting thing is that, remembering what was the news and talk about the positive experience in management and so on, to be honest, I don’t remember that somewhere in the news they talked about some kind of positive experience in the Vologda Oblast and Vologda, in particular » .

“This [appointment of Travnikov] is an unexpected action. In Novosibirsk, completely different candidates were mentioned and discussed - either from Novosibirsk, from Moscow, but with Novosibirsk origin. The last weeks have been like a madhouse: a bunch of versions, forecasts, names. And the last two are just swings. Either one is “appointed”, then “another”. And finally, the incredible political soap opera that we have never seen in our city has ended. The first question I had, as probably everyone else, was who? It was a very big surprise from this choice. Because if the acting had shoulder straps lieutenant general Of course, no one would be surprised by this.

If I were acting, I would try to understand what are the most resonant problems in the Novosibirsk region and why they force people to take to the streets to protest, and then figure out what to do about it. Probably in the first days he will meet with the legislature, the mayor's office of Novosibirsk, evaluate socio-economic the situation in the region in order to make other decisions later, including personnel ones.

“Andrey Alexandrovich is a calm and balanced leader. All the scandalous things that were under his predecessor - the project of paid parking, problems with public transport - he decided carefully, carefully and carefully. For a year, he leveled the negative that was seething in the city.

“My colleagues and I are discussing options for how this [appointment] happened. The very first - Travnikov at one time got into the federal personnel reserve when he worked in the embassy. Logically, Severstal, [its owner Aleksey] Mordashov, has a fairly close relationship with the Kovalchuk family. And this is one of the most influential circles in the academic environment, including those with a fairly high level of influence on the Russian Academy of Sciences. The head of the FANO [Mikhail] Kotyukov is currently considered to be associated with the Kovalchuk group. There were persistent rumors that he was considered as the main candidate for Novosibirsk governors. Let's see how close this version is to reality, how attentive Travnikov will be to the problems of Akademgorodok.

The political scientist thinks that it will be "very difficult" for the acting governor in an unfamiliar region. “I have repeatedly been to Novosibirsk, here the level of local patriotism is very high, plus there is also the topic of the struggle for the role of the capital of Siberia with Krasnoyarsk. And the arrival of a Varangian not from Siberia at all is a challenge. I think that Travnikov will have a very difficult time.

“I knew all the governors and mayors of Novosibirsk, and I can say that they were major political figures. To become the governor of the Novosibirsk region is to become on a par with Luzhkov, Sobyanin, Matvienko, Shaimiev, Tuleev. This means becoming a political heavyweight in the full sense of the word. Because governors of this level are deeply educated people who have vast experience in managing large industrial teams and enterprises.

Siberians are a very peculiar people. A people full of self-esteem, pride, and I would even say snobbery. They are absolutely sure of their superiority and unusually politically active. This explains the political discord that exists in the region today.

Andrei Alexandrovich [Travnikov] will have a hard time there. Given the fact that in a year to go to direct elections, he will have to take over, establish himself and win. And there is very little time left for that. Let's hope that the president, having entrusted this post to a Vologda resident, will not leave him, but will help and support him in difficult times.

There are people who literally live in an airplane. And today, the leader often chooses not a place where it is interesting to live, but where it is interesting to work. So I made my decision on the same principle. Moreover, with the current development of transport and communications, the line between cities is blurring. In the week we are all immersed in work, there is no free time left, and on weekends or on vacation you can go to St. Petersburg, to Moscow - anywhere.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday, October 6, accepted the resignation of the governor of the Novosibirsk region Vladimir Gorodetsky, Andrey Travnikov was appointed acting head of the region. This was reported by the press service of the Kremlin.

"Accept the resignation of the governor of the Novosibirsk region, Vladimir Filippovich Gorodetsky, at his own request," the text of the presidential decree says. Putin ordered the appointment of Andrey Travnikov as acting head of the region "until the person elected governor of the Novosibirsk region takes office."

The decree comes into force from the date of its signing. Gorodetsky took over as Governor of the Novosibirsk Region on September 24, 2014. Travnikov was mayor of Vologda before being appointed to this post. Instead of him, Sergei Voropanov, who previously held the position of first deputy mayor, was appointed acting mayor, Interfax was told in the press service of the city administration.

Vladimir Putin personally announced his decision to Travnikov at a meeting with him on Friday in Novo-Ogaryovo. What else was discussed at the meeting is not specified.

Vladimir Gorodetsky has recently demonstrated his devotion to the federal authorities and his desire to promptly resolve problems in the region. So, in March, he introduced responsibility for subordinates for the failure or untimely execution of decrees of the president and the government of the Russian Federation, as well as his own orders.

Andrey Travnikov was born in 1971 in Cherepovets, Vologda region. In 1998 he graduated from Cherepovets State University with a degree in Electric Drive and Automation. Later, he underwent professional retraining under the program for training the highest level of the managerial personnel reserve at the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration under the President of Russia.

In 1992-2006, the new acting governor worked in various positions at the Cherepovets Metallurgical Plant (JSC Severstal). In 2010, he took the post of First Deputy Mayor of Cherepovets, and in 2012 he became Deputy Governor of the Vologda Oblast. Two years later, he was appointed Deputy Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Northwestern Federal District. In November 2016, the deputies of the Vologda City Duma elected the politician as the head of the Vologda administration.

The resignation of Vladimir Gorodetsky became another personnel decision of the president in a series of dismissals of governors. On the eve of Putin dismissed the governor of the Oryol region Vadim Potomsky. Wednesday was

On October 6, the presidential website Kremlin.ru announced a change in the head of the executive branch in the Novosibirsk region. The President of the Russian Federation accepted the resignation of Vladimir Gorodetsky at his own request and signed the Decree "On the early termination of the powers of the Governor of the Novosibirsk Region".

Decree text:

In connection with the statement of the Governor of the Novosibirsk Region Gorodetsky V.F. on the early termination of powers and in accordance with subparagraph "c" of paragraph 1 and subparagraph "a" of paragraph 9 of Article 19 of the Federal Law of October 6, 1999 No. 184-FZ "On General principles of organization of legislative (representative) and executive bodies of state power of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation” I decide:

1. To accept the resignation of the Governor of the Novosibirsk Region, Gorodetsky V.F. at will.

2. To appoint Andrey Alexandrovich Travnikov as the acting Governor of the Novosibirsk Region until the person elected as the Governor of the Novosibirsk Region takes office.

3. This Decree comes into force from the date of its signing.

Andrey Travnikov has made a rapid career leap over the past seven years: from General Director of Elektroremont LLC in 2010 to Deputy Plenipotentiary Representative of the Russian Federation in the Northwestern Federal District in 2016. At the end of the same year, at a session of the Vologda City Duma, the deputies unanimously elected him head of the administration of the regional center.

According to the regulations of the city duma, the decision to appoint the mayor of the city was taken by open vote. To win, you need to get more than half of the parliamentary votes. Andrei Travnikov was unanimously supported by the deputies. The regional governor Oleg Kuvshinnikov said that the election of the mayor of Vologda is an important political event in the history of the city. Among the priorities of the city authorities is the adoption of a balanced budget, the fulfillment of all social obligations, as well as the adoption of measures for the further development of the economy, small and medium-sized businesses.

Andrey Travnikov was born on February 1, 1971 in the city of Cherepovets, Vologda Region. In 1998 he graduated from Cherepovets State University with a degree in Electric Drive and Automation. In 2014, he completed professional retraining under the program for training the highest level of the managerial personnel reserve at the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration under the President of the Russian Federation in 2014.

“Vologda residents are extremely cautious about appointees from the neighboring city of Cherepovets, where, in fact, Andrey Alexandrovich is from. For Vologda residents, it was originally a stranger. However, the fact that before that he worked as a deputy governor, deputy plenipotentiary representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Northwestern Federal District, cannot be discounted - the new head of the city quickly joined the work. He immediately “got it” - snowfalls, with a lack of snow-removing equipment, the celebration of the New Year, Victory Day, City Day - but, I believe that Andrei Aleksandrovich managed to cope with all this and much more. Despite the fact that many ill-wishers predicted for him a confrontation with the team of the previous mayor, and, as a result, significant personnel changes, Travnikov did not “chop off the shoulder” and was able to create a good team of deputies», - Anton Kholodov, deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Vologda Region, comments on your VKontakte page.

Political scientists noted that in 2017, Andrei Travnikov, as mayor of Vologda, consistently increased his political weight. In the summer of 2017, IA Regnum published a rating of mayors of Russian cities for June-July. Andrei Travnikov took 36th place in it. Earlier, in the Regnum rating for April-May, Travnikov ranked 39th, and according to the results of the first quarter, he was in 45th place.

Political strategist Anton Kholodov characterizes Travnikov's management style as "smooth": "He just does his job. Without scandals, upheavals and loud words about their activities "...

Vologda colleagues, political scientists and journalists - about the acting governor of the NSO, who was appointed by Putin

On October 6, the Kremlin announced the dismissal of the governor of the Novosibirsk region, Vladimir Gorodetsky. In his place, President Vladimir Putin appointed Andrey Travnikov, a little-known politician in Siberia - he managed to distinguish himself in several responsible positions, including in the chair of the mayor of Vologda. Former colleagues of the newly-made acting governor of the Novosibirsk Region, political scientists, journalists, as well as federal experts, told what Travnikov remembered for them and what Novosibirsk could expect from him. Details - in the material NGS.NOVOSTI.

From the same message from the Kremlin, it became known who would take Gorodetsky's chair - to the surprise of many, it was the former mayor of Vologda Andrei Aleksandrovich Travnikov.

Over the 46 years of his life, Travnikov managed to work in several responsible positions: First Deputy Mayor of Cherepovets (from 2010 to 2012), where, by the way, he was born, First Deputy Governor of the Vologda Oblast (2012–2014), Deputy Plenipotentiary Envoy of the President of the Russian Federation in the North Western Federal District (2014–2016). He worked as the mayor of Vologda for less than a year - from November 2016 to the present day.

Travnikov's career growth began with work at the Cherepovets Metallurgical Plant (JSC Severstal), where he met the future governor of the region, Oleg Kuvshinnikov. This acquaintance pushed his career up, says Andrey Patralov, a well-known political scientist in Vologda.

“He is a person who is not inclined to public spectacular appearances and bright speeches.

He is such a technocrat, not only in trend, but also by nature. There are more deeds behind him than words. His meetings are dry, business-like. Of course, there is no rejection among the inhabitants of Vologda, but they are also restrained in praise of him. As mayor, he worked for less than a year, so it was difficult for him to do something to excel in something. You know, we have an ancient city, which is crossed by the Arkhangelsk-Moscow highway, and heavy trucks and timber trucks are badly written on the narrow streets of Vologda. Three lines of the ring road were made by his predecessors, and he completed the fourth line, which was finally supposed to free the city from transit transport. Haven't been on it for five years.<...>He formed a new team that lives in the format of business meetings, meetings and reports,” Patralov described Travnikova.

The political scientist recalled another positive change in Vologda under Mayor Travnikov - he launched the repair of courtyards in the city, and was also actively involved in the development of tourism. Andrei Patralov speaks of Travnikov as an accomplished manager, business executive and a low-emotional person who does more than talks.

Artyom Filatov, another Vologda political scientist and civil activist, agreed with this characterization: “For almost a year as mayor, he showed himself to be a reserved and cold-blooded manager. He could not solve the most significant problems, but in principle he did the work that allowed Vologda to function normally as the center of the region. He made some rather tough decisions, whether it was the abolition of funding for the regional basketball team, imposed penalties on the main contractor for snow removal (a lot of people were unhappy with this). He showed character as a cold-blooded manager.

Basically, he was fighting the legacy of the previous mayor,” he says.

Now a colleague of the new Novosibirsk governor, as well as his friend - the governor of the Vologda region Oleg Kuvshinnikov - shared his opinion about Travnikov on his official VKontakte page.

“I have known Andrey Alexandrovich Travnikov for more than fifteen years and I am glad that people from my team achieve high professional success.<…>I can characterize Andrei Alexandrovich as a modern and competent leader who has gone through all the stages of professional growth in the system of municipal and public service. Therefore, I am convinced that he will be able to apply his experience and knowledge to work as the head of the Novosibirsk region and justify the trust of the head of state, ”he congratulated Travnikov on his appointment.

Praises the Novosibirsk governor and State Duma deputy Alexei Kanaev. “I think the Novosibirsk region is lucky.<…>An experienced manager, with a good mix of knowledge in the industrial sector, municipal economy, politics. A very thoughtful, consistent and decent person,” he wrote on VKontakte.

Travnikov won sympathy from journalists as mayor. Daniil Turov, deputy editor of Vologda Region IA, one of the largest local publications, told NGS.NOVOSTI that Travnikov loved weekly press conferences, at which he answered any questions without preparation.

He seriously took up the optimization of urban logistics: he took up solving problems with public transport, began introducing the "green wave" in Vologda, and increased the scale of city street repairs. In order to accustom the contractors cleaning the Vologda streets to high-quality work, he personally controlled this process, checking the streets at five in the morning and fining public utilities for poor-quality cleaning. Under him, gastronomic brands began to be developed and introduced in Vologda, for example, Oil Feasts (a gastronomic festival. - K.Sh.),” he said about the former mayor.

Travnikov often shines in the media, he publishes many comments on his VKontakte page, but there is nothing cardinal and provocative in his speeches. Such a conclusion can be drawn on the basis of surfing through the pages of local publications.

Apparently, Travnikov does not hesitate to comment on scandals - including federal ones. He told the local publication Vologda Region about the showing of Matilda that he did not consider it necessary to ban the show, as was done in other regions of the country. In addition, he fought for increased funding for his city at the federal level - he proposed to increase personal income tax deductions by 5%, and send the proceeds to social issues, repair and construction of roads, as well as the development of the housing and communal services system. Also, judging by the headlines of the local media, Travnikov is attentive to the complaints of local residents. As mayor, he instructed to strengthen control over developers who plant dirt on the streets of the city.

Moscow political strategist Alyona Avgust reassured the people of Novosibirsk that the decision to appoint a Vologda resident as governor of the NSO was not accidental.

“Now there are big tasks for the intensive development of the country as a whole, and this is happening in difficult economic and political conditions, so all these decisions have clear grounds.

Vladimir Vladimirovich, our president, likes to surprise us, but this does not mean that his decisions are random. This is not a one day decision.

<…>I was in Vologda just two weeks ago. The city, although not young, is quite well-groomed; naturally, not without problems (like other cities that do not have a huge budget), it is located in a region that is essentially rich only in forests. We can say that under his leadership the situation in the city is quite prosperous, and we know that Vologda has never been famous for negative news,” she said.

According to political scientists, a new team will come to Novosibirsk after the new governor:

“His bench can be formed from the labor collectives of Vologda and Cherepovets, thanks to his experience here,” says Andrey Patralov. But Alyona Avgust believes that it is the Novosibirsk people who should be accepted by Travnikov into his team, and the inhabitants of the NSO should not be afraid of the first “Varangian” governor in the history of the region.

“I think we will soon forget this word (Varangian - K.Sh.), because it is not at all the place of birth and residence that determines a professional, but other qualities. Nevertheless, an important factor is the fact that it is necessary to make the most of the people who already exist in the region. So that those who benefit the region are not left out of the new team. That's what our president promotes: performance appraisal,” she says.

The news about the appointment of a new governor of the NSO surprisingly made Novosibirsk akin to the inhabitants of Vologda: both of them are in anticipation of how Travnikov's work will line up. “He headed the list of benches for the governor of the Vologda Oblast, so we are following with great interest where our potential governor has gone,” says Patralov.

Andrei Travnikov held his first meeting in the status of acting head of the Novosibirsk Region with the security forces. She passed right after. At the ceremony, the appointee made a short speech, assuring the audience that he would fulfill the tasks that the Russian president had set for him. The audience greeted the emotional performance of his predecessor Vladimir Gorodetsky with long applause and a standing ovation.

Andrey Travnikov arrived in Novosibirsk early in the morning on Monday, October 9th. The performance with the participation of the Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Siberian Federal District, Sergei Menyailo, took place at noon. Regional ministers, heads of regional administration structures, deputies of the State Duma, the Legislative Assembly and the City Council, heads of municipalities and directors of large enterprises, heads of regional departments of federal departments gathered in the large hall of the regional government. Together with the interim, Vladimir Gorodetsky also came out to them.

Sergei Menyailo quoted, which was signed on October 6. It says that Gorodetsky resigned of his own free will. The plenipotentiary thanked him for his work: "Much has been done, but more remains to be done."

“The potential of the region is huge - scientific, educational, industrial, industrial, intellectual and the biggest potential is human. Therefore, the prospects for the region are huge. I am sure that with normal work, the potential of the region can be unlocked and thereby fulfill the tasks that the president set. And (to justify) the trust that has been given to the region today,” Menyailo said.

The speech of the acting governor was rather short (as was the whole ceremony, by the way).

“The President has set me a serious task - to work for the benefit of the Novosibirsk Region, for the benefit of the inhabitants of the Novosibirsk Region. I would like to make every effort to complete this task,” Andrey Travnikov said without a prompter. – I would like to thank Vladimir Filippovich for the tremendous work done as Governor of the Novosibirsk Region. Of course, the most important thing is that the achievements should be consolidated, and promising projects should be supported.”

“I hope that together we will ensure the necessary pace of this development,” the new leader of the region addressed the audience. – I hope for the constant support of all those who came to support me on this significant day for me. Surely, in a large region there will be people, there will be forces that, in the course of work, will try to identify some kind of conflict situations. As history shows, not a single territory benefited from conflicts. This diverted time, resources from tasks from the development of regions and municipalities. I appeal to you with a request to contribute to the unification, consolidation of common efforts to fulfill our tasks.”

After Travnikov, Gorodetsky spoke. He thanked the audience for the years of joint work, noting that “something worked out, something didn’t quite work”, many had to argue, but the government always tried to find solutions, sometimes non-standard ones, even for the most difficult issues.

“This desire to do something, to grow, united us. Yes, it didn’t always work out, sometimes there were moments that should not have appeared in our lives. But this is life, this is work,” the ex-governor pointed out. - I think it's right - time requires renewal. We all feel that the period ... What people want, they do not understand, maybe due to what, but they are waiting for an update. Therefore, today's personnel decision is also one of the elements of the renewal. But renewal will then be perceived by people when it leads to positive changes.”

According to Gorodetsky, over the past year and a half, the Novosibirsk region has found its growth points, which are not found in other regions. He wished Travnikov to quickly get to know the region, customs, traditions and people and "fall in love with this region." At the same time, the ex-governor noted that he was not going to rest, but wanted to “be carried away” - “to get up (in the morning) with something preoccupied.” On the sidelines of the government, his appointment as a senator from the executive branch of the region is being discussed, but this can happen only after and, obviously, only if the representative of United Russia wins.

“Dear colleagues, the meaning of our life is not just that each of us holds positions, everything seems to be fine, everything is successful ... Success depends on people's lives ... I hope that something was successful, and much was successful. Should be even more successful. I would like to ask you to unite and work for the benefit of the people,” finished Gorodetsky. The audience thanked him with loud and prolonged applause, the audience stood up.

“I understand that all journalists are looking forward to some personnel decisions. Changes will appear over time, any leader selects a team for himself, - leaving the hall, shared the acting. - But I assure you: there will be no hasty decisions, and there will be no decisions - replacement for the sake of replacement. First of all, I will get acquainted with the region, get acquainted with the people with whom I work. Then I will make some decisions.”

During the first communication with Novosibirsk journalists, Andrey Travnikov said that he plans to rely in his work on the authority and experience of "many respected residents of the Novosibirsk Region", including ex-governor Vladimir Gorodetsky, promised to go to hockey and carefully study large-scale projects and problems which have recently led to conflicts in the political environment and public life.

“Certainly, I will reevaluate the solutions to many of the problems that are on the agenda today. Some new considerations will express over time. Today I will say that a number of tasks that both the city of Novosibirsk and the region face will still have to be solved. Including the task of organizing a modern method for the disposal of municipal solid waste, ”said the interim head of the Novosibirsk Region.

On the question of whether he will participate in the gubernatorial elections, Travnikov was not allowed to answer the plenipotentiary Sergei Menyailo. Acting, however, noted that despite the fact that he was being prepared for appointment to high positions (Travnikov is in the presidential personnel reserve), the direction to Novosibirsk came as a surprise to him personally. “The task has been set, the task is quite serious. And I am ready to take on its implementation,” he said.

Immediately after the performance, Travnikov went to his office, which they managed to prepare over the past weekend. The first short meeting was with representatives of law enforcement agencies, followed by a conversation with Plenipotentiary Menyailo (according to the official information of the embassy, ​​“strategic directions for the economic development of the region, issues of budget planning, the implementation of the “May decrees” and instructions of the head of state in the region” were discussed). In the waiting room, Novosibirsk Mayor Anatoly Lokot, speakers of the Legislative Assembly and the City Council Andrey Shimkiv and Dmitry Asantsev are in line. Andrei Travnikov will hold his first meeting of the government of the Novosibirsk Region on 10 October.
