20 administrative regions in Russia facing financial crisis
The financial crisis in Russia’s federal government is trickling down, and during the next 3 years, at least 7 budget cutbacks are expected to go into effect, leaving 20 administrative districts on the brink of financial disaster, making budget management the number one nightmare for local financial officials.
The superstructure governing how resources are allocated is the distribution of power. To resolve the pending financial crisis in administrative districts, constitutional reform is needed to enable the people to vote more and to directly elect the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches as well as local comptrollers and auditors-general. Election should be free of charge so that candidates do not need to hock their integrity in order to win votes. For details see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
