Despite the fact that A Just Russia faction accused the governor of "political pressure", in the end they voted in favour of the law. Leader of A Just Russia faction Yevgeniy Petelin explained that ...he considered the law "very weak and raw", adding that it lacked ways of combating corruption. Moreover, in accordance with the law, legal acts signed by the governor will be forwarded to be checked for susceptibility to corruption to the commission of which the governor is head, which Petelin considered odd. Speaking to the newspaper correspondent off the record, deputies from One Russia said that the law should have been sent for revision, but its adoption is a political decision before the approaching election to the State Duma.

The manufacturing subsidiary in the town of Volkhov had existed for two years but in early 2007 the company decided to use the facilities situated in the city. "Volkhov is too far away. It is much easier to manage a production when it is close by," said the director general of Image Wear in Russia, Aydas Barkauskas. The market players were surprised with the move, as the work force in the region is cheaper and everybody is trying to use regional capacities.
