COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SOCIAL-DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF MUNICIPAL DEPUTIES OF THE CENTRAL ADMINISTRATIVE DISTRICT OF MOSCOW (BASED ON THE ELECTIONS OF 2017 AND 2022)

Aim. Based on a comparative analysis of the two convocations, identify trends in the social-demographic characteristics of deputies of the Central Administrative District of Moscow and deduce the social portrait of the municipal leader. Methodology. The study was conducted by comparative analysis based on the author's official materials and open data from the official websites of the councils of municipal deputies, media and social networks. The database was compiled according to the following characteristics: gender, age, specialty, field of activity and position, marital status and party affiliation. Results. Based on the study of social-demographic characteristics, conclusions were drawn about changes in the composition of deputy bodies in 2022 compared to 2017 (an increase in the number of women, a decrease in the participation of youth representatives in politics, an increase in the number of representatives of the United Russia party, priority for candidates - heads of state institutions, etc.), which, first of all, according to the author, is due to transformations in the social-political context. The data obtained allowed us to describe the social portrait of the deputy of the CAO municipal district by modal values. Research implications. The results obtained will be used by the author as a part of a large-scale study of local government in Moscow and will be useful in the process of conceptualizing the idea of municipal leadership. The data will serve as one of the bases for the first stage of the analysis of the political and psychological characteristics of the municipal leaders of the Central Administrative District and can later be used to predict electoral behavior and build election campaigns in Moscow.
