16. Experts in whole agreed with implications of the Center for Current politics in Russia report. Authors of the latest “rating of governors political survival“, produced by the Center for Current Politics in Russia, refer immunity of governors to their good fellowship with the Kremlin and “The Joint Russia” electoral results. Credit rating of the Russian regions by analysts of Standart & Poor`s shows bondage between political and financial stability of regions. State business recaptured initiative from private business. Such implications are contained in CCPR report“Leading Russian corporations and power: cooperation technologies”. The list of the governors resigned may be refilled. The Center for Current politics in Russia made in August an analysis devoted to “political survival of governors”. There are several intellectual centers, constantly receiving the Kremlin offers. They are FEP, Institute for public designing (InOP), fond “Politics”, FOM, WCIOM, as well as Institute for CIS and the Center for Current Politics in Russia (CCPR) A group of international observers of the Shanghai Organization for Cooperation supervised the previous parliamentary elections in Kazakhstan Magilis.
