“The national service of monitoring” informed: “The indicator pays off as a parity of number of publications with direct or indirect speech of the person to total number of messages where a person is mentioned. Thus, persons get to the top of the rating , not about which most of all write to mass-media, and those which each mention contains a message for this or that audience”.

The general director of “Institute of independent political researches” Alexander Ulitin admitted that 2011 should be remembered, at least, that the accurate tendency was outlined and the heads of regions of the Russian Federations began to communicate with representatives of the press more actively.

Alexander Ulitin said: “As the of result the number of messages with citing of governors increased in comparison with previous year more than 1.5 time. It is quite explainable, as both from a society, and from the power there was an accurate inquiry about feedback which obliges the heads of regions to be more open in relation to mass-media. Also we hope that the given trend will remain and in new, 2012”.
