Sverdlovsk Region Ministry of Labor and Economy reports the town of Berezovskiy (with Vyacheslav Brozovskiy elected as Mayor) has been showing a noticeable decrease in terms of its socioeconomic development. In 2006, the town was the region’s No.9 in terms of socioeconomic potential, while a year later its rating dropped to the 12th position. Experts believe this trend to go down will continue in 2008.
