Powers

What kind of specific powers and/or responsibilities do the presidential envoys have in these districts? This has not been made clear, or even mentioned in the article. Are they purely ceremonial? Do they share power with the governor of a federal subject? --Criticalthinker (talk) 11:06, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

No, they are not purely ceremonial, but nor is there any meaningful power sharing going on. What the envoys basically are is employees of the Administration of the President of Russia and, as such, they represent the President within the federal districts they've been assigned to. Their basic duties are to carry out state policies, report back to the President on the matters of national security and the socioeconomic conditions within the federal district, make policy suggestions, coordinate work of federal executive bodies, monitor and enforce provisions of the Constitution, as well as be responsible for a host of other, related duties. They do have a right to participate (and occasionally interfere) with the work of the governments of the federal subjects (and even local self-governments), but the extent of their powers in this area is vaguely defined (which, I suspect, is intentional).—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); March 17, 2017; 13:21 (UTC)

Thanks, but can someone find some sources and post some of this information under a "powers" or "duties/responsibilities/role" section or something similar? As the article reads now, all we really know is that they existed without knowing their role acting between the federal subjects and the federal government. --Criticalthinker (talk) 09:38, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

The law being cited as reference #1 is a sufficient source to back up the information I provided above. If someone has a secondary source handy, that would be preferable, of course.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); April 3, 2017; 14:05 (UTC)

They don't seem to have special separate legal functions. They are just organizing the interaction between the regional and the federal authorities. Trying to talk out things, to solve as many issues as possible without involving Moscow. Plus sometimes they oversee how some important projects are carried out. Earlier the envoys were prescribed to suggest gubernatorial candidates, but I'm not sure if such practice still exist anywhere (probably somewhere in North Caucasus).
