The theory of "revolving doors" serves as a conceptual framework for this research, in the first part of which the main approaches to the definition of this concept are considered. Using this theory, the authors of the article seek to provide answers to a number of research questions. To what extent is the "revolving door" phenomenon peculiar to the political life in the Russian regions and, in particular, in the Sverdlovsk region? What is the percentage of officials moving from the civil service to the private sector to become a "lobbyist" and/or a government relations manager (GR manager) and vice versa?

According to the results of the study, the authors conclude that commercial companies are the second most popular place of work both before the appointment and after the dismissal of a ministerial position; ex-ministers often become directors of enterprises and GR managers. The reasons for this state of affairs are revealed. The explanatory model is based on the concept ofsupply and demand. Calculations show that less than 10% of enterprises have structural divisions responsible for government relations. The limiting factor is the desire of heads of commercial enterprises to directly participate in politics to promote corporate interests, and not to apply to communication agencies for GR support.MukhametovR.S.BuyanovN.A.Publishing House Discourse-Particle“revolving doors” lobbying government relations biographical approach sverdlovsk regionPhilosophy (General)B1-5802RUДискурс Пи, Iss Т. 18 3 (2021)
