In 2021，the political situation in the local level of Russia is generally stable and controllable. The handover of local power is progressing steadily. In nine federations，the candidates for the local heads recommended and supported by the “United Russia” are all successfully elected. Although the remaining two federation heads are supported by the opposition，they generally conform to the political arrangement of the Federal Central Committee. In addition，the “United Russia” maintains its majority in most local parliamentary elections despite a drop in the number of votes. The Communist Party and the New People show growth momentum in local councils，with a steady increase in the number of votes and seats. At the institutional level，Russia continues to strengthen the vertical management by the federal central government and further improve the local governance model. The reform of the overall plenipotentiary system of the federal districts，gives the Deputy Prime Minister the power to directly supervise them. At the same time，the passed Law on the Basic Principles of Public Administration promotes the construction of a unified public power system after the revision of the constitution，increases the control of power at the urban level，and straightens out the central government’s governance channel to the grassroots.
