| IDEA |
 |
|
|
The idea of the “Russian Governor” prize emerged in the minds of the IPC and UJ leaders in autumn 1998 when regional leaders took on their shoulders the main burden of crucial social and economic problems of the population solution in the situation of permanent shifts and appointments, discussions and uncertainty in the central authority echelons.
The following criteria were taken into consideration while discussing nominees: typicalness of a region, governor’s term in office, governor’s rating of positive influence, economic (investment) rating of a region; frequentness of neutral and positive publications about a governor in mass media; governor’s openness and sincerity in relations with mass media.

V. KISMERESHKIN, IPC Directors Board Chairman,
Russian Federation CC&I Board Member:
- We are on the eve of a new epoch, which personally I wish to live in very much. This is the epoch of common sense. It will have its heroes such as E.Stroev, E.Primakov, Y.Luzhkov, C.Titov. And let the number of these heroes grow.
The International Press Club has its own style and affections. I would say frankly not every person who wants to appear here is invited to the IPC. And the criterion is as follows: we try our best to pursue the policy of common sense in the information sphere.
I like very much that Mr. C. Titov is governing the region where both the political environment is stable enough and the economy is developing dynamically. There is a great deficit of leaders who are able not only to explain why everything is so bad but can work persistently and effectively. The vivid evidence of this is the fact that top managers of big international companies which are not afraid to invest into the nice Samara region are present here today. I have convinced myself, I have convinced a lot of my colleagues and I hope to convince you, that Governor C. Titov rewarding with the “Russian Governor-98” prize is the right choice. And he will be the first in the range of governors rewarded with this title.
C. Titov:
- I feel very grateful to the International Press Club
for such attention to my person. I am glad that
my persistent policy aimed at our country
overcoming the crisis found understanding among
you.
(The prize is a statue of a Russian warrior leaning on a two-hand sword).
Yes the sword is not taken up but the warrior is leaning on it. We used to sing a song: “We are peaceful people but our armored train is on the shunting-track…”. Unfortunately we now have neither a shunting-track nor an armored train, we have to either start everything from the beginning or to restore. God, bless us to write this new page of the Russian history and to raise our economy. It’s very difficult but believe me, if we made several steps to the right we should not stop. We must keep going and continue construction of the developed and socially orientated market economy in Russia.
