Local government

Administration building

Local self-government is based on the charter adopted at a local referendum on 23 March 1997.

The structure of local government bodies of the city of Yasnogorsk is:^[11]

• the representative body of the municipal formation is the Assembly of Deputies of the municipal formation "City of Yasnogorsk";
• the highest elected official of the municipal formation is the head of the municipal formation "City of Yasnogorsk";
• the executive and administrative body of the municipal formation is the administration of the municipal formation "City of Yasnogorsk";
• the control body of the municipal formation is the audit commission of the municipal formation "City of Yasnogorsk".

The representative body of local self-government, the Assembly of Deputies, has been operating since 2006. As a result of the elections on 1 March 2009, the second convocation of 15 deputies was elected (9 from United Russia, 1 from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, 1 from A Just Russia, 4 self-nominated candidates).^[12] Following the results of the 2023 elections, a representative of the Yabloko party was elected to the council.

Since 3 April 2009, the Head of the municipal formation "City of Yasnogorsk" has been Alexander Mikhailovich Dorogov.^[13] The position of Head of Administration of the municipal formation "City of Yasnogorsk" is occupied by Kharalampy Vasilyevich Mavrapulo (since 30 April 2009).^[14]

Economy

The Yasnogorsk Machine-Building Factory builds parts for wagons, pumps, and locomotives for Russia's mining industry. The factory opened in 1895; along with jobs, the factory provided social services; in 1991 the factory owners gradually cut back on these services. In 2009, fewer than 280 workers were employed, from a peak of 7,000.^[15]

The town lags behind other urban centers of the oblast both economically and socially and its population has been steadily declining.
