The Okrug Governor’s press-service informs:

The 40-th meeting of the Ugra Duma was opened by Plenipotentiary representative of Russia’s President in the Urals Federal District Nikolai Vinnichenko: “On February 9, 2010 President of the Russian Federation Dmitri Medvedev submitted the candidacy of  Komarova Natalia Vladimirovna to be considered by deputies of the Ugra Duma and to   invest her   with  authorities of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug-Ugra Governor in compliance with the law of the Russian Federation”.

He highly assessed the region’s development: “I suppose that I do not need to  talk  much what  the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug means for our country and the whole world economy. Contemporary Ugra is a nationwide leader by oil production, volume of industrial output, ranks second  in Russia as for gas extraction, investments,  revenues to the budget. What is more important is that the public stability, sustainable and dynamic social  and economic development have been preserved in this unique and strategically important region. On course, its Governor – Alexander Vasilievich Filipenko has led the region to this high level. He provided stability in difficult time, paid much attention to ordinary people’s life quality. His work has been highly assessed  by the leaders of the country, he will be awarded with the national award in the near future”.

Nikolai Vinnichenko highly assessed professionalism of Natalia Komarova: “Her life, great experience at high posts stand for her competence, will, ability to make decisions and to be not afraid of responsibility. All that is combined with sincerity, ability to listen to and hear people, to help them. It is important that she is possessed of great experience of working in the North, knows and understands needs and cares of people who create a greater part of Russia’s national wealth under complicated conditions. Therefore I do not doubt that great social and cultural achievements of Ugra, well-developed system of social guarantees will be preserved and strengthened. The mega-project “Ural Industrial – Ural Polar” will get an additional impulse and its implementation will make it possible to diversify the economy of Ugra, to use new sources of the region’s development, to strengthen economic security of the Autonomous Okrug”.

He also said about expediency of merging Ugra with other constituent entities of the RF: “I declare that the issue about the status of Ugra at present and in the future will not be  considered.  The Okrug will remain an independent constituent entity of the Russian Federation, its status is stable taking into account achievements to the social-economic development and its role in economy of Russia and suits the leaders of the country and people of the region. I am convinced that the new governor is the very person who will preserve all what has been achieved and will attach new dynamics to the Ugra development. I request you to support the position of President and to confirm Natalia Komarova in the post of Ugra Governor”.

All the deputies of the Okrug Duma voted for  investing Natalia Komarova  with authorities of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug Governor.
