The developing regional policy is characterized by the interaction with the major federal and regional business structures.

Now it is possible to note the existence of a sustainable effect of the FIGs on the regional policy, which became aggravated during the election cycle, associated with the federal campaign of candidates for deputies to the State Duma and regional governors' elections.
