Аннотация
Результаты выборов депутатов Госдумы Российской Федерации 2021 г. в целом подтвердили электоральное доминирование партии «Единая Россия». Вместе с тем в отличие от предыдущей избирательной кампании 2016 г. они продемонстрировали поражение «партии власти» в четырех российских регионах. В статье изучаются причины данных электоральных неудач партии-инкумбента на субнациональном уровне с помощью парного сравнительного анализа политической ситуации в республиках Саха (Якутия) и Башкортостан (Башкирия). Делается вывод, что одной из возможных причин снижения электоральной поддержки «партии власти» на региональном уровне является институциональный фактор, а именно прямые выборы глав муниципалитетов. Наличие этого института в Якутии не позволило новому главе республики установить эффективный контроль над главными политическими игроками. Напротив, новый глава Башкортостана, не имея подобного ограничения, смог быстро консолидировать региональную элиту, ликвидировать оппозицию и повысить электоральную поддержку «партии власти» даже в условиях эпидемиологического и экономического кризисов.
