Yakutia's Leader, Egor Borisov, is referred to as the most open and democratic in the region?
Celebrating Egor Borisov's 70th Birthday: A Decade of Leadership in Yakutia
Today marks the 70th birthday of Egor Borisov, a renowned figure in Russian politics, who served as the Head of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) from 2010 to 2018. Born as a mechanic in the Churapchinsky district, Borisov rose through the ranks to become a key political figure in Yakutia.
Borisov's tenure as the Head of Yakutia spanned two terms, during which he focused on regional development, resource management, and improving infrastructure. His efforts aimed at enhancing the economic potential of the region, particularly in exploiting its rich natural resources.
One of the notable aspects of Borisov's leadership was his openness to the press, a trait that was not as prevalent in his predecessor or successor. He was known for inviting the press to press conferences, where uncomfortable questions could be asked. This approach to communication contrasts with the approaches of both Vyacheslav Shtyrov and Aisen Nikolaev.
During his tenure, Borisov worked on policies aimed at economic modernization and social development in Yakutia. He improved living standards and invested in sectors such as mining, which is critical for the local economy. His period in office also saw greater integration of Yakutia within Russia’s federal development programs.
Borisov is remembered for his personal support in providing modern social facilities, important life support facilities, and thousands of families with new apartments during his tenure. His political path is seen as a "true example of a leader, politician, and patriot" by Aisen Nikolaev, his successor.
The editorial staff of "Yakutia.Info" congratulates Egor Borisov on his 70th birthday and wishes him good health. They have previously raised questions about various issues related to Borisov's tenure, including gas prices, government interference in business, and questionable state investments.
Currently, Aisen Nikolaev, Borisov's successor, holds press conferences for the media only once a year and answers only pre-submitted and agreed-upon questions. This contrasts with Borisov's approach, which was more open and democratic in terms of information.
The current head of Yakutia and the head of Yakutsk have also congratulated Borisov on his 70th birthday. Borisov's political career in Yakutia is primarily known for his role as a key political figure in the Sakha Republic, where he served as the Head of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) from 2010 to 2018.
