The heads of administrations speak about the changes that have taken place in the domestic policy of the country.

The issue of giving more powers to governors is being raised.

An example of a recent vote in the Federation Council on the resignation of Russia's Prosecutor General Yuri Skuratov is given.

Konstantin Titov tells in detail about the proposals of the Federation Council on the creation of a special commission to consider the issue of Yuri Skuratov.

He talks about the reaction of the Russian President Boris Yeltsin.

The problems of financing the regions are discussed: the distribution of budgetary funds and tax revenues, the need to develop credit systems for business development.

The governors are talking about the problems caused by the recent crisis.

Leonid Gorbenko gives an example of the ruin of Invest-Bank.

The upcoming elections in the regions are being discussed.

Konstantin Titov points out the need for federalization of the state and the development of understanding in society that "we are a multinational people of a great Power."

The governors are in favor of a change in the quality of the State Duma.

In their opinion, in its legislative activities, the Lower Chamber should also take into account regional interests.

Konstantin Titov and Leonid Gorbenko say that the Federation Council will not support the question of the impeachment of the incumbent president, even if the State Duma votes to hold it.
