Penza, 10 February 2014. PenzaNews. The president of OJSC “TVEL,” the former CEO of the production association “Start” named after M. Protsenko Yuri Olenin has high chances to take the chair of the governor of the Penza region. This was stated in the article “Intelligent Olenin to replace brutal Bochkarev” which was published in the newspaper “Ulitsa Moskovskaya” [Moskovskaya Street].

According to the publication, the corresponding agreement was made “at the upper level.”

“Yuri Olenin is a man who has gotten a little rusty in the elite, because he did not show any intention to govern in in the Penza region, but he is actually one of the most suitable candidate to succeed Vasily Bochkarev,” the chief editor of “Ulitsa Moskovskaya” Valentin Manuylov noted in his.

The author believes that Russia has a system of state capitalism of Italian type, which is characterized by clan organization model of public enterprise.

“Yuri Olenin was among those especial senior managers entrusted with development of cash flow allocated for nuclear power engineering. Of course, formally he has a boss above him — Mr. Kiriyenko. But really, I believe, Yuri Olenin obeys his patron who pushed him onto the position of the head of the fuel company TVEL. Given how influential this person is in Putin’s circle, we can assume that the decision on moving Yuri Venison from the presidential chair in TVEL into the chair of Penza governor happened without a hitch,” the publication explained.

The article states that technically the higher official of the region Vasily Bochkarev is to submit an application for voluntary retirement.

“The President shall accept the resignation and almost immediately appoint an acting governor. Accordingly, Olenin is to take up duties of the governor, and then, after looking around and negotiating with the elite groups which are almost gone having turned into one homogeneous mass, he is to assign his own elections. Of course, it will be limited by the scheme — a candidacy will be presented for the approval of the Legislative Assembly. Well, after he gets carte blanche by the elite, Yuri Olenin will begin staff reorganization which is inevitable,” the publication notes.
