We made the list of potential candidates who could take part in elections of the Governor. These lists differed only in existence or absence of the acting Governor S.N.Yastrebov and a premiere of the regional Government of A.Knyazkov. We assumed that such political configuration could develop quite under certain circumstances. The electoral rating of 18% for the acting Governor S. Yastrebov is as a sentence for non electivity and 13% of an electoral rating for the candidate Yu. Lastochkin who now is in a pre-trial detention center, is a victorious march from the "Aida" opera. History of Yu. Lastochkin's arrest and a investigation of this high-profile resonant case, gave to the head of Rybinsk big popularity, political and electoral weight in Rybinsk and outside of it. No comments. A.Knyazkov, the Premieres of the regional Government is not electorally significant. Other candidates are rather weak so far. Though the verdict of not guilty concerning the former mayor of Yaroslavl E.Urlashov can give him power in an electoral field. But it, is obviously long-term affair if possible. Nobody is interested in release of the disgraced mayor.
