The socio-political life of Omsk has long been known for the conflict between the city and regional authorities.<ref name="Yarovaya-2016">{{cite web |url=http://www.bk55.ru/news/article/70460/ |title=Губернатор Назаров игнорирует мэра Двораковского теперь уже прилюдно |trans-title=Governor Nazarov ignores Mayor Dvorakovsky now in public |last=Yarovaya |first=Yelena |date=2016-03-20 |publisher=BK55 |access-date=2016-03-20 |archive-date=2016-03-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160322151443/http://www.bk55.ru/news/article/70460/}}</ref>

For more than ten years, there was an information war between Governor [[Leonid Polezhayev]] of the Omsk Oblast and the city's mayors.<ref name="Portal SibInfo-2012">{{cite web |url=http://www.sibinfo.su/news/omsk/1/31617.html |title=Наследие губернатора Полежаева |trans-title=Legacy of Governor Polezhayev |date=2012-05-29 |publisher=Portal SibInfo |access-date=2012-07-15 |archive-date=2014-05-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140527214842/http://www.sibinfo.su/news/omsk/1/31617.html}}</ref> It began with a confrontation between Polezhayev and Valery Roshchupkin (1995-2001)<ref>{{cite web |url=http://регнум.рф/news/302067.html |title=Инспекторы ГИБДД выдали омским таксистам чёрные метки.

The new mayor Viktor Schrader (2004-2012) initially came with the governor's full support; however, in 2010, the information war unfolded again. Several pro-governor media sought the resignation of the mayor. At a press conference on 1 December 2010, Viktor Schreider said he did not intend to participate.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ngs55.ru/news/77807/view/ |title=Мэр Шрейдер: «Если жители скажут, то тогда я уйду» |trans-title=Mayor Schreider: "If the residents say so, then I will leave" |date=2010-12-02 |publisher=NGS.Omsk |access-date=2010-12-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101205055011/http://ngs55.ru:80/news/77807/view|archive-date=2010-12-05}}</ref> According to another version, the information war began in November 2009 after the primaries of the Omsk branch of the [[United Russia]] party, but the prerequisites were still in the summer of 2009;<ref>{{cite book |last=Boyko |first=M. |title=Шоу-политика на примере выборов мэра Омска в 2010 г. |trans-title=Show politics on the example of the election of the mayor of Omsk in 2010 |location=Omsk|date=2010}}</ref> as a result, the entire information war was reduced to a political game. Schreider, as a result, changed the post of mayor to the place of a deputy in the State Duma, and the acting mayor T. A. Vizhevitova was appointed in his place.

In 2012, the Omsk Oblast Governor Polezhayev, permanent since the Soviet era, resigned, and [[Viktor Nazarov]], who previously held the post of general director at CJSC Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Omsk, was appointed in his place. In the same year, early mayoral elections (due to the resignation of the previous mayor) were held, and United Russia candidate Vyacheslav Dvorakovsky, who previously served as chief engineer of the Omsk NPO Mostovik, was elected the new mayor. The information war continued, with the next round beginning during a direct line with President Putin, when an Omsk woman complained that she could not get an appointment with the Omsk mayor, and Putin publicly called Dvorakovsky a "piglet".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://regnum.ru/news/polit/1697178.html |title=Мэра-«поросёнка» единороссы могут исключить из партии (Омск) |trans-title=United Russia may expel mayor-"piglet" from the party (Omsk) |publisher=[[REGNUM News Agency]] |date=2013-08-21 |access-date=2013-08-21 |archive-date=2013-08-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130823180404/http://www.regnum.ru/news/polit/1697178.html}}</ref> In March 2016, at an air show attended by more than 100,000 spectators, Nazarov ignored the mayor. BK55 correspondent Yelena Yarovaya noted that the mayor at this event was deprived of the right to speak:<ref name="Yarovaya-2016" />
{{blockquote|It turns out like this: for bad roads, unremoved snow, and landfills, we "beat" the mayor with a poor budget. And we celebrate holidays, all sorts of shows and pleasures, without a representative of the municipal government elected by Omsk residents. Here are all the laurels and applause to the head of the region.<br><br>At […] the event, a trend was clearly outlined, a fashionable tone set by the former governor Leonid Polezhayev - the separation of the city and the region. Although, in poor budgets, Nazarov and Dvorakovsky, on the contrary, should have worked "in one bundle."}}

According to Vyacheslav Dvorakovsky, the information war is needed by people whose interests are to weaken both city and regional authorities, while both authorities have already successfully cooperated in solving the problem of kindergartens.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://superomsk.ru/news/33416-vyacheslav_dvorakovskiy_mer_omska/ |title=Вячеслав Двораковский, мэр Омска: «Критики не понимают простой вещи, что окриками проблема не решается» |trans-title=Vyacheslav Dvorakovsky, mayor of Omsk: “Critics do not understand the simple thing that the problem is not solved by shouting” |last1=Korolkov |first1=Pavel |last2=Chernyshyova |first2=Irina |date=2016-04-04 |publisher=SuperOmsk |access-date=2016-04-07 |archive-date=2016-04-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160408065124/http://superomsk.ru/news/33416-vyacheslav_dvorakovskiy_mer_omska/}}</ref> On 30 April 2016, during a [[prank call]] from the [[NTV (Russia)|NTV]] channel, the governor Nazarov sharply criticized Dvorakovsky for his inactivity concerning the city and unwillingness to accept help in critical communal tasks. At the same time, Nazarov stressed that normal interaction, without a "war", with the mayor does not work even with a mutual desire for this.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://kvnews.ru/news-feed/82942 |title=Омский губернатор сдал чиновника администрации президента, под прикрытием которого действовали пранкеры |trans-title=The Omsk governor handed over the official of the presidential administration, under whose cover the pranksters acted |last=Sikorsky |first=Rudolf |date=2016-05-01|publisher=Kommercheskiye Vesti |access-date=2016-05-01 |archive-date=2016-05-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160504073240/http://kvnews.ru/news-feed/82942}}</ref>
