Among the sponsors are non-profit organizations and foundations associated with United Russia and partners of major businessmen, for example, Alisher Usmanov. According to the Moscow City Electoral Committee, Sobyanin's budget is now several times larger than his competitors Mikhail Degtyarev (LDPR), Vadim Kumin (Communist Party of the Russian Federation), Ilya Sviridov ("Fair Russia") and Mikhail Balakin ("Union of Citizens"). Experts point out that "no serious player" who could have defeated Sobyanin was admitted to the election, so the rivals of the incumbent mayor are not inclined to spend large sums on the campaign.

It is interesting that this fund through one company belongs to the Federation of Trade Unions of the Sverdlovsk Region. This federation, we note, is headed by a member of the party "United Russia", State Duma deputy Andrei Vetluzhskikh.

The National Center for Monitoring the Scientific and Technical Revolutionary Fund. This fund belongs to the regional public organization "Assistance and development of IT professionals", which twice tried in 2018 to receive from the Moscow region government contracts to study the effectiveness of the information policy of the authorities of the Moscow region and to collect information on the communicative strategy of the Moscow region government.

A source close to the presidential administration, in a conversation with journalist Znak.com, noted that in the mayoral elections in Moscow "initially no one had any ambitions". In his opinion, the low financial activity of Balakin, Degtyarev, Kumin and Sviridov is "one of the symptoms of the problem that people generally do not believe in and do not want to compete seriously with Sobyanin, they solve their tasks in these elections that are not related to the electorate."

Political scientist Andrei Kolyadin is sure that the low financial activity of candidates for the post of Mayor of Moscow Mikhail Balakin, Mikhail Degtyarev, Vadim Kumin and Ilya Sviridov is due to the fact that "none of them have any chance to win" because they were not allowed to vote "No serious player". "Therefore, it is logical that no one in their right minds will give money for an ineffective campaign with zero result," added Kolyadin.
