– They have never spoken about Rzhev with such solemnity, probably this also applies to the Tver region as a whole. Historians and ordinary citizens had different attitudes to the events of the Rzhev-Vyazemskaya operation. We showed that this was an important event. I am sure that the contribution to the history of the Victory of that operation will still be appreciated, – Igor Rudenya emphasized.
As for the word of the year, the governor did not agree with the majority opinion, which highlighted the word “covid”. He believes that it was simply mentioned too often, but the main words were completely different.
– For me, the main words are “union” and “family”. Firstly, during the entire pandemic, we tried to work together with the heads of districts. I know that many have been ill, some are in severe form. But we still did everything by joint efforts. Other popular words are “family” and “friends”. People began to take care of each other, to help. We began to return to traditional values, – said the governor.
