Abstract

The purpose of the article is to describe – on the basis of implicit information – the hierarchy of positions of deputy heads of regions of the Russian Federation. The regional legal acts and recommendations are analyzed. The positional method acts as the theoretical basis of the research, the rethinking of which allowed to shift the focus in the study of elites from the macro level to the regional level. To achieve our goals and objectives, we use the method of content analysis. The hierarchy of positions of lieutenant governors is given at two time points – before and after a time after the change of the first person in the region. Introduced the author's wording of the concepts of «a set of positions of lieutenant governors» and «cohort of lieutenant governors». The author has proposed and implemented basic and advanced methods for constructing a model of the hierarchy of positions of lieutenant governors. It is proved that hierarchies constructed in different ways for one time point will be equal with a high degree of probability. This allows us to speak about the reliability of the positional method in determining the influence of the positions of lieutenant governors. The theoretical and practical significance of the work lies in the fact that with the help of the research optics proposed by the author, it became possible to study regional political elites using the positional method. It is this method that makes it possible to understand the mechanism of recruiting regional elites: job duties are adjusted to the person, and not the person is appointed to the established position of lieutenant governor.
