Staunton, May 10 – The long-haul
truckers strike in Russia is beginning to have an impact on Russian politics.
Those governors who have been unable to find a common language with the
strikers are among those who have seen their rating by the Petersburg Politics
Foundation fall the most and who are thus likely candidates for dismissal.
The foundation points to particular
problems in that regard for the heads of Oryol, Tyumen and Daghestan (https://orel.glavny.tv/news/62810
and nakanune.ru/news/2017/05/10/22469497).
Now that the May holidays are
ending, some truckers may resume their strike this week, although most are
likely to wait to see what happens when their leaders meet with senior Russian
transportation officials a week from today in Moscow.
