Residents of the Vykhino-Zhulebino district in Moscow are expressing concerns about the responsiveness and communication from their local administration, particularly regarding landscaping practices and the recent introduction of paid parking. This follows a period of leadership changes and reforms within the district.

Recent administrative changes have seen Nikita Oreshkin return as head of the Vykhino-Zhulebino district, initiating changes such as paid parking, which has faced resident opposition. Oreshkin’s first deputy is Olesya Merezhko, who has connections to Moscow’s road management, and other key figures in the administration include Yuri Kholonya, Maxim Lashch, and Anastasia Vasina, all with experience in communal services or connections to related fields.

The district has seen significant improvements in transportation infrastructure after facing severe overcrowding at the Vykhino metro station, a situation known as the “Vykhino Effect.” The addition of new metro stations, the Nekrasovskaya line, the D3 commuter rail line, and renovations to the Vykhino station have alleviated some of these issues.

Yuri Ozerov, who served as head of the district from 2020 to 2022, was noted as the wealthiest head of district in Moscow, with a significant increase in declared income and ownership of numerous properties. His first deputy, Nikita Oreshkin, also had a substantial income. Despite improvements in transportation, Vykhino-Zhulebino remains the second most populous district in Moscow. Local residents remain attached to the district, as evidenced by their efforts to protect the Zhulebino Forest Park.
