More than a third of Kirov graduates have left the region.
During a report by Deputy Chair of the Government Svetlana Shumaylova, it was stated that among those who completed nine grades this year, 5.35% enrolled in colleges and technical schools in other regions. Last year it was 6.49%. Leading regions include Tatarstan, Mari El, Udmurtia, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast and Moscow Oblast.
Among graduates of the 11th grade, 2.68% of them enrolled in colleges and technical schools in other regions (last year it was 2.5%). 34.2% enrolled in universities in other regions (in 2024 it was 35.84%). These include regions such as Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Saint Petersburg, Tatarstan and Moscow Oblast.
After hearing the report, Governor Alexander Sokolov ordered that additional funds be allocated next year from the regional budget to incentivize local residents (not only students but also their parents) to ensure that youngsters remain in Kirov Oblast or at least return there after studying in other regions. He also proposed introducing large bonuses for teachers whose students return to the region after receiving a good education outside its borders and becoming highly qualified specialists.

Today Governor Alexander Sokolov reported that recently, according to the Regional Management Center, there has been a sharp increase in complaints in the housing and utilities sector. It is a three-digit figure. People complain about problems with heating, hot water, and lighting. The Ministry of Energy and Housing and Utilities has been instructed to analyze all appeals.
Sokolov also reported mass complaints about excavations in Kirov on Kazanskaya and Truda. According to him, prolonged works on Lenina Street have caused major traffic jams for two months already. The head of Kirov’s administration, Vyacheslav Simakov, noted that the authorities are fining the contractor, but these fines are very small. He believes responsibility needs to be tightened and stricter deadlines for work established, and he plans to organize this work in the near future.
The governor said that in some localities, as he personally saw, similar works are carried out in just three days. If it can be done there, then it can be done in Kirov. He expressed the view that larger fines should be imposed, “20 million a day,” so that the management of contracting companies would be left without salaries and forced to sell their property if they miss deadlines. “So that sparks fly from their eyes!” the regional head exclaimed.
During Sokolov’s conversation with the head of the Kirov branch of T Plus, Sergey Beresnev, it emerged that one contractor is working on Kazanskaya; he took four of T Plus’s 27 sites. The governor was outraged that the contractor had taken on so many sites despite not being able to complete them all due to a shortage of workers and equipment. He suggested that Beresnev ensure T Plus contractors cannot take on too many sites. He also sharply rebuked him, threatening that next year the timeframes for work could be reduced to a week and that fines could increase many times over. He also asked when the section on Kazanskaya and Truda would finally be completed. Beresnev replied that it would be this Saturday evening.
