The object of the study is the Institute of heads of subjects of the Russian Federation. The subject is their rotation in the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District. The purpose of the work is to identify the main trends in updating the composition of the heads of the subjects of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District. The objectives of the study are as follows: to analyze the affiliation of current and previous governors to a particular professional field before appointment; to identify the specifics of the personnel policy of the federal center, taking into account the criterion of the regions’ heads connection with the relevant territories before appointment; to determine the reasons for the governors’ rotation; to identify the features of the elections’ results of the subjects heads in the Russian Federation belonging to the Far Eastern Federal District in 2023. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that most of the subjects’ heads in the Russian Federation within the study district have been already related to the executive branch of government, mainly in other regions, and the rest went to work in the regional governments of the Far Eastern Federal District from the federal parliament, municipal government and industry. If earlier, when determining the candidates for governors, emphasis has been placed on local personnel, then in the current situation, only three heads of the subjects in the Russian Federation can be attributed to people from the regions who head them. The conducted content analysis of the media has showed that the main reasons for the subjects’ heads rotation in the Russian Federation included in the Far Eastern Federal District are resignations \"on their own initiativeˮ. The current governors, whose term of office expired in 2023, have been re-elected, receiving an average of 75 % of the vote. The author comes to the conclusion that when updating the corps of regions’ heads belonging to the Far Eastern Federal District, senior officials, as a rule, come from the sphere of executive power, the representation of the governors-\"outsiders\" is noticeably strengthened, the predictability of most resignations of heads of regions is observed, less pronounced support of the population for the re-election of governors in comparison with the results of elections in other regions. |
