Krasnodar city parliament says resident monitoring is for gathering local views
Krasnodar’s city parliament says deputies are monitoring residents to learn about local concerns and problems needing a quick response.
The parliament said the instruction followed a meeting on November 9 and was sent to deputies by acting chair Sergei Vasin.
It says the work is meant to help find solutions to residents’ problems and explain current social and economic issues.
No formal reports are planned; the parliament says deputies will pass identified problems and possible solutions to a committee for analysis.
A letter published earlier said deputies should make targeted visits to residents to assess social mood, spot protest sentiment early and counter false information that could destabilise the political situation.
The two descriptions differ in emphasis, with the parliament presenting the work as local feedback and the earlier letter also mentioning protest sentiment and misinformation.
Krasnodar’s city parliament said a resident-monitoring effort is intended to gather local views and identify urgent issues.
The parliament said the effort followed instructions from a meeting of municipal deputies held on November 9.
It said the work would help identify ways to address residents’ concerns and explain current social and economic issues.
The parliament said no formal reporting was planned, but that a committee would be informed of problems and possible solutions.
A letter published by a Communist Party deputy had called for home visits to monitor social sentiment, identify early protest moods and counter misinformation.
