upper chamber. In total, 42 senators, or about 25% of the composition of the chamber, which consists of 170 representatives of the regions and a 10% "presidential quota", may be replaced in connection with the elections.

Seven senators from the regions, in which elections will be held on a single day of voting, will retain their seats, for the rest there is no decision yet, RBC's interlocutors noted.

Departure Senators

The representative of Buryatia Alexander Varfolomeev, both representatives of the Kemerovo region - Alexander Lavrik and Sergey Shatirov, the senator from the Irkutsk region Vitaly Shuba, Lyudmila Kozlova from the Smolensk region, the representative of Ingushetia Muharbek Didigov, the senator from the Primorsky Territory Svetlana Goryacheva, the representative of the Khabarovsk Territory Alexander Shishkin, senator from the Vladimir region Anton Belyakov, representative of the Magadan region Anatoly Shirokov, representative of the Moscow region Yuri Lipatov, senator from the Oryol region Vladimir Krugly and representative of Moscow, nominated by the executive branch 93-year-old Vladimir Dolgikh, former secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, candidate member of the Politburo of the Central Committee.

Also, the representative of the Yaroslavl Regional Duma, the former governor of the region Anatoly Lisitsyn, who withdrew his candidacy from the United Russia primaries before the elections, will not retain his seat in the Federation Council, RBC interlocutors specified.

In addition, the senator from Yakutia Vyacheslav Shtyrov, Vladimir Bochkov from the Ivanovo region and representing the Altai Territory Mikhail Shchetinin will also leave the upper chamber. Their seats, as RBC wrote earlier, will be given to former heads of regions - Yegor Borisov, Pavel Konkov and Alexander Karlin.

Belyakov, Shishkin, Shtyrov, Dolgikh, Bochkov, Shuba, Kozlova and Didigov did not respond to messages and calls from RBC. Senators Akimov, Varfolomeev, Lipatov, Lavrik and Lisitsyn were unavailable for comment. Shatirov's assistant could neither confirm nor deny the information about his departure from the ward.

Senator Anatoly Shirokov from the Magadan region could neither confirm nor deny the information that he would leave the Federation Council after the regional elections. “It is rather difficult to comment on an event that will take place in three months,” he said.

RBC was told in the office of Senator Svetlana Goryacheva from Primorsky Krai that she would refrain from commenting. Senator from the Oryol region Vladimir Krugly could not promptly respond to RBC, citing busyness. “I can’t talk, I’m on a business trip,” he said. As RBC was told in the apparatus of the committee on agrarian and food policy and environmental management, the senator, Mikhail Shchetinin conveyed that "now is not the time to comment on this issue."

Why Senators Leave

After the mass rotation of the heads of regions, the Kremlin got the opportunity to "cleanse the ranks of senators," a source in the upper house explained to RBC. It is with this that the upcoming large-scale reshuffle in the Federation Council is connected, he is sure. “Those who have long wanted to leave for health reasons or for whatever reasons will be able to leave,” RBC’s interlocutor specified. “The authorities will also be able to change those who have been annoying for a long time and whom they wanted to change, but there was no reason.” The list of senators leaving the upper house will not be limited to 17 names, he added, but for the rest "a decision has not yet been made, and it is made not in the Federation Council, but in the Kremlin."

The main reason for the rotation of senators is the replacement of age representatives of the regions, political analyst Nikolai Mironov told RBC. In his opinion, the interim governors are trying to delegate their people to the upper house. The expert called the expected departure from the Federation Council Dolgikh, Goryacheva and Belyakov. The fact that the 66-year-old Shuba got on the list of retirees was connected by Mironov with the renewal of the party team in the Irkutsk region, which is now being handled by Secretary of the United Russia General Council Andrey Turchak.

The political scientist Konstantin Kalachev also agrees with the age factor: according to him, among the senators "for departure" there are "many pensioners who should have left simply because of their age. " However, age is not the main factor, the expert noted. “If a person is active, deep and has authority in the region and at the federal level, then he can stay,” Kalachev told RBC. “Among the listed names there are political pensioners, and there are quite capable politicians.”

Another important factor is the loss of relevance for the Kremlin of such a scenario of legitimizing the “referendum elections”, when the United Russia governor agreed in advance with a fairly popular leader of the parliamentary party that he would not go to the polls as his competitor, but instead get a seat in Federation Council. For this reason, representatives of A Just Russia, Svetlana Goryacheva and Anton Belyakov, who supported the incumbent governors in the last gubernatorial elections, are leaving the Federation Council.

Influential "heavyweight" senators will leave the Federation Council this year, Alexander Pozhalov, director of research at ISEPI, said. Recently, the Kremlin has been trying to weaken the positions of such politicians, the political scientist claims, in order to replace them in the regions with “federal managers”. “Both representatives of the “Tuleyev team” from the Kemerovo region are leaving the Federation Council, Vitaly Shuba and Anatoly Lisitsyn, influential politicians in the region, will lose their senatorial mandates,” Pozhalov explained. In his opinion, this trend is connected not only with the Kremlin’s desire to update and “modernize” the administrative corps in the regions, but also with the intention to weaken the influence of local elites in the 2021 parliamentary elections in advance.

RBC's second interlocutor in the upper house said that at least three high-ranking military men could become senators this year. They, thanks to amendments passed last year, are not subject to the "settlement requirement", according to which a candidate for senators must live in the region for five years immediately before becoming a candidate for senators, or 20 years in total. Therefore, the generals can become representatives of any region, said the interlocutor of RBC. In addition to high-ranking military officers, deputies of the State Duma, extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassadors and persons with higher ranks of justice are exempted from the qualification.

Among those who will retain their seats after the autumn elections are the representative of Khakassia Yevgeny Serebrennikov, the senator from the Trans-Baikal Territory Stepan Zhiryakov, the representative of the Arkhangelsk region Lyudmila Kononova, nominated by the Legislative Assembly of the Vladimir region Sergey Rybakov, the senator from the Ulyanovsk region Sergey Ryabukhin, nominated by the governor of the Ivanovo region Valery Vasiliev, representative of the Nizhny Novgorod region Vladimir Lebedev and senator from the Krasnoyarsk Territory Andrey Klishas.

According to the law, the upper chamber includes two senators from each subject - from the legislative (legislative assembly) and executive (head) authorities of the region.
