Unable to contact Il Darkhan, greetings Aysen Sergeyevich.
In the heart of Siberia, the Sakha Republic, commonly known as Yakutia, is facing a series of challenges and questions regarding its governance and development. Aisen Nikolaev, the Head of the Sakha Republic, has been at the helm since 2018, representing the United Russia party [1].
Recent reports have highlighted the difficulty in reaching Nikolaev through social networks and messengers, such as VKontakte, Classmates, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Twitter. This is a common practice for high-ranking officials, as their direct personal contact channels are often limited or filtered through official administrative structures. There is no explicit explanation for the difficulty in contacting him, but it can be inferred that this is due to the nature of his official role and administrative controls rather than a technical issue or personal avoidance.
The government of Yakutia is grappling with the issue of rapid price increases, but there is no information available on the efforts being made to control this process. The 17th Quarter, a large-scale construction project, has not begun a year after the ceremonial pile-driving, raising questions about its progress and potential future.
Nikolaev has introduced a special rating of resource users, requiring industrial companies to actively participate in the socio-economic life of the republic and demonstrate informational openness. However, there are concerns about resource users in the republic, with some continuing to misbehave and act arrogantly, refusing entry to inspectors, and others being extremely closed, not reporting to deputies and not revealing their social projects.
The Arctic Center, an unfinished object, has been under construction for nearly five years, leaving many wondering about its status and completion. The decree on combating poverty in Yakutia has been mentioned, but no details about the decree are provided. Similarly, no information is given about the current status of the Lensk Bridge project or if federal funding has been secured.
In contrast to Nikolaev, Egor Borisov, a former Head of the Sakha Republic, is perceived as more informationally open and democratic than his predecessor and successor. The news source YAKUTIA.INFO reported that they last participated in an online press conference with Aisen Nikolaev in the spring of 2020. Since then, they haven't been invited, marking almost four years without direct communication.
As the Sakha Republic continues to navigate these challenges, the public and the media will be closely watching the developments and seeking more transparency and openness from the government.

- The lack of openness and accessibility from Aisen Nikolaev, the Head of the Sakha Republic, has sparked concerns in the context of policy-and-legislation, politics, and general news, particularly as he remains difficulty to contact via popular social networks and messaging platforms.
- The government of Yakutia, under Aisen Nikolaev's leadership, faces scrutiny amidst the absence of transparency and openness, as questions linger on policy initiatives such as the 17th Quarter, the Arctic Center, the decree on combating poverty, and the Lensk Bridge project, with little to no information provided on their current status or progress.
