He lost two positions dropping from the 48th position he occupied in April. Oleg Melnichenko's media index amounted to 1,031.2 points.

As the Medialogia company told PenzaNews, notable events involving the senator included his statement that in connection with the growth of the cost of petrol the Federation Council of Russia predicts an increase in prices in the Far East by 30%.

The analysts also took into account the information that Andrei Kutepov, Sergei Ryabukhin and Oleg Melnichenko planned to submit a bill to the State Duma that suggested postponing the entry into force of new requirements to developers attracting funds of shareholders for six months.

In addition, senator's media rating was influenced by the fact that he was cautious about the idea that Russians will be able to get a mortgage starting the age of 14.

Another Penza senator – Alexei Dmitrienko – failed to enter the top 50 of the most mentioned members of the Federation Council.
