Ugra political parties have signed a fair elections agreement

Today, leaders of several Ugra political parties signed an agreement on "Free and fair elections".The agreement, which implies the renunciation of sleazy political methods in pre-election period, was signed by Boris Khokhryakov - the political council secretary of the regional office of the party "United Russia", Alexander Smirnov - a member of the District Committee of the Russian Pension Fund department and Vladimir Zinoviev - Chairman of the regional office committee of the political party "Patriots of Russia ".

According to Boris Khokhryakov, the aim of the agreement is to hold the elections in Ugra without "smear campaign". Parties who signed the document would have to carry on a fair fight and not to allow people to be confused by lie and compromising evidences.Also signatories to the agreement undertake not to assault the honor and dignity of their opponents during the election period. "The other parties were also sent invitations to join the agreement signing. It is not too late to join "- said Khokhryakov.

The agreement was not signed by representatives of the parties "Liberal Democratic Party", "Just Russia" and "Apple." Alexander Smirnov urged his colleagues to support peace and friendship and through the journalists appealed to colleagues, who didn't come: "Is it really so difficult to get off your backside to agree on good works? I will ask journalists not to cut out this phrase! We should take care of national security and peace in the society all together".

Vladimir Zinoviev also commented on the signing: "It is surprising that not all parties have joined. By signing the document our party accept responsibility to carry on a civilized political struggle. It's a pity that some parties refused to sign the agreement. I think that it is wrong to decline such a good cause".

When journalists asked whether the initiative of the "United Russia" Ugra office is an armistice with political opponents, Boris Khokhryakov answered: "This is not too much an armistice as a progressive motion. We feel responsibility for a peaceful and stable situation in Ugra ".

We should note that the elections will be held on the 4th of December. On this day we elect Russian State Duma deputies and, at the same time, Tyumen Regional Duma deputies.

Our money - your business

To reduce unemployment in the Khanti-Mansy district, the government offered Ugra citizens to take the initiative and start their own business. The government is even ready to help future entrepreneurs to take the first step - everyone can get almost 90 thousand rubles as "seed money".

Of course the sum is not large and you hardly can let yourself go in business with it. However, it is a quite good incitement to start the business. Moreover, in case of success you shouldn't return the money to the Government.

"Nowadays we make arrangements for so-called self-employment, - says Alex Varlakov, the Head of the Department of Labor and Employment of Ugra citizens. - According to this program we provide initiative people, who want to start their own business, with 88 200 rubles.These means are given without interest, and in case of business success people don't have to return them. But if a person is "bankrupt" and can't report to us where the money was spent, the money is have to be returned. A year under this program we can provide 939 entry-level entrepreneurs.

The Department of Labor and Employment said that this program is not only about self-employment. If after a while the newly-made businessman applies to the Department for necessity of his/her business expansion and hiring of new workers, for every created job he/she will be given 88 200 rubles each.

The district citizens appreciated the Government idea - only this year 732 people applied for the means for self-employment.

Useful garbage

If we could make oil from garbage, we would become rich. Because you know, only last year Ugra citizens littered about 680 thousand tons of garbage. And it includes only solid domestic waste. What should we do with such piles of litter? "Recycle" - say environmentalists.

{0}{1}{/1}{/0} "From year to year the situation with industrial waste is looking up, because companies invest money in it. But with domestic waste things are only getting worse - says Paul Vashchenko, First Deputy Director of the Department of Ecology. - That is why we are actively working on district waste management scheme within the special program "Ensuring of Knanti-Mansy autonomous okrug - Ugra environmental safety for 2011-2013". The Ugra Governor Natalia Komarova fixed a tough deadlines for us, since this problem is very serious and requires an immediate solution. "

The landfill, dump, factory: is there any difference?

All district waste is at the 59 landfills and 108 dumps, half of which are unauthorized. Is there any difference between landfill and dump? Yes there is, and it is fundamental. The thing is there is an excavation waterproofing at the landfill. It provides protection against atmospheric air, soil, surface water and groundwater pollution.

But there is no such excavation waterproofing at the dump. Moreover, it is crawling with rats - various infections carriers. In addition, landfills must be located outside the city, and the unauthorized dump may appear almost under our windows.

As for the industrial processing, it helps at least to halve the weight and amount of solid domestic waste (SDW). Glass, paper, plastic - everything can be recycled and organic materials can be packed.

Advantages of such undertaking are obvious. First, the minimal damage to the environment. Second, the convenience for district citizents. Practice has shown that ususal for Europeans "Kitchen garbage sorting" by food waste, plastic and paper is not for us. We haven't formed such habit. We need somebody to sort garbage instead of us. And finally, third - work place.

How to run this undertaking?

"In fact, it is simple, - explains Paul Vashchenko. - For example, let's consider paper waste: after garbage sorting paper waste is pressed, packed at the waste recycling factory and then it is sent to tissue factory or to the package factory. There the raw material sells and recycling costs are repaid. "

But there is a risk of the raw materials shortage. That is why the Department of Ecology calculates everything carefully. Entrepreneurs, who are ready to invest money in the construction of such factories, meet halfway to the district government and by-turn the district government undertakes to provide them with raw materials, and therefore to insure them against bankruptcy. Though there is one good thing - there are enough garbage to go around.

Factories of solid domestic waste recycling should be placed near big cities. In our district big cities are Nizhnevartovsk, Surgut, Khanty-Mansiysk and Nefteyugansk. The first two experimental factories are planned to be built at the landfill between the Surgut, Nefteyugansk and Pyt-Yah, as well as near Nizhnevartovsk.

"Factories construction is a constituent part of the waste management scheme, which is being developed now. This scheme will be finished only after taking into account of all remarks and suggestions, including those of nearest cities citizens", - says the Department of Ecology. And they also note that the majority of cities and settlements citizens support the District Government initiative. "People often ask when the first factory will appear? Our answer is: during the next three years. This is the limit", - says Paul Vashchenko, the first Deputy Director of the Department of Ecology.

What about other countries?

Nowadays in Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Norway, Austria, Holland and many other countries from 30 to 50% of waste are recycled. In Finland garbage is used to produce heat. With only one landfill about ten thousand apartments are heated. The European experience shows that secondary raw materials recycling is economically sound and technically feasible.

Job for youth

Today young people employment is one of the main problems of the Khanti-Mansy okrug government because there are 7 thousand students in Ugra who will soon need a job.

Therefore the governor Natalia Komarova started a comprehensive employment providing program in the region, which will last till 2013. The main task, set by the governor, is not only protection against unemployment, furnishing a financial assistance to unemployed but also cooperation with district enterprises, for which the government proposes to hire graduates, partly compensating for wage costs.

According to this program, the district provides annual training for 600 graduates who immediately after graduation can not find a job with a degree because of a lack of experience.

"We conducted a series of negotiations with employers and agreed that they will hire young people.For six months they will receive salaries from our fund - says Alexey Varlakov, the director of the Department of Labor and Employment in Khanti-Mansy okrug. - But the main thing is that the employee will have a work record card with an appropriate record. Age limit of graduates is 25 years. Different students have the opportunity to use this program: those who finished their education after army or young mothers who start their education after childbirth".

This program consists in the following: the graduate comes to the employment agency which tries to find a job for him during 10 days. If the agency can't find a job, this agency and an employer draw up a contract, under which the company hire the candidate. In return during 6 months this company from the Ugra government gets a compensation for wage costs.

During this time young people should show themselves to good advantage, so that the employer keep them as workers after probation period, or they will have to find another permanent job.

And this question also was taken into consideration by the district government: during 3 years 60 thousand additional work places will be created in Ugra,  40 thousand from which will be for youth employment.
