That is why it is very important to maintain the unity of all branches of power of Nizhegorodskaya oblast. And no one does doubt in the country that these citizens can and are able to work. It is interesting to compete with the one who is doing fine. The entire country will benefit from it”, concluded M.Shaimiev and wished the residents of the oblast patience and health.
