Business programme

The development of Russia’s regions is a top-priority task of all state, public, and political institutions. Given the pressure from sanctions, economic and legislative decisions need to be made promptly. Maintaining socioeconomic stability is a key priority of the United Russia party, as enshrined in the People’s Programme. The key to its successful implementation is to replicate the best regional practices of involving citizens in solving socially significant issues and modernizing infrastructure to provide a comfortable and safe living environment, including medical, educational, cultural, and sports facilities. Another urgent task is to integrate Donbass into a single economic space and utilize its capabilities and advantages. What changes need to be made to the priorities and key mechanisms of public administration in matters concerning social infrastructure development? What legislative changes are needed to fulfil previous social obligations that have been undertaken? What measures should be taken to support entrepreneurial initiatives?
