Work with youth in the regions can be transferred to specialized vice-governors

The vice-governors responsible for domestic policy can be entrusted with overseeing military-patriotic education in schools, as well as the entire sphere of work with youth, says a Vedomosti source close to the presidential administration. This practice already exists in a number of regions, but now it will be widespread everywhere, since in a number of regions “youth” refers to the sphere of culture or social sphere, he notes.

For example, in the Vologda Oblast, youth policy is one of the directions of domestic policy. “This scheme has been working for us for a long time. In my memory, exactly 10 years, ”an interlocutor in the government of the Vologda region told Vedomosti. But in the Novgorod region, work with youth was reassigned to the domestic policy bloc only in January 2023, an interlocutor in the regional authorities told Vedomosti.
