In September 1996, Bronevich was registered as a candidate for the governor of Koryak Autonomous Okrug. She was supported by the "Reforms — New Deal" movement and the
People's Patriotic Union of Russia, backed by
CPRF. On 17 November 1996, she won in the first round with 47.1% of the vote. Her election to the post of governor happened when the federal government relinquished the obligation to provide life support for the Far North, allocating only 20% of the required funds for the Koryak AO. Because of this, the once strong fish factories and collective farms went bankrupt, many specialists left the region. There were serious problems with the supply of fuel. Bronevich succeeded in reforming the assignment of “small enterprises” to the villages, which contained the social sphere in exchange for quotas. Under her administration, Koryakia's fish processing enterprises fully mastered the crab quotas on their own; the pollock harvest in 1999 increased many times, which brought significant "fish money" to the budget. This made it possible not only not to ask for subsidies from the center, but also to invest in the "
Northern delivery" more than 81 million rubles from its own budget and 25 million rubles from extra-budgetary funds. In 1999 Koryakia's own revenues exceeded financial assistance from the federal budget for the first time, and the regional budget deficit has decreased by 18% in three years. A non-state pension fund was created, which made the payment of preferential pensions to representatives of the indigenous peoples of the North, and since 2000, the same payments have been made to the recipients of the minimum social pension. However, in December 2000 Bronevich lost reelection to Vladimir Loginov. == Recent activity ==
