Dear ladies and Gentlemen, dear Partners,

Autumn 2010 represents a huge milestone for the Krasnodar Regions banking community: more than half of the regions credit organisations are celebrating their 20th anniversary. The regions investment appeal today is thanks in large part to swift growth in the financial market, its

ability to work hand in hand with the real sector of the economy and its fast-paced integration in both the Russian and international financial markets.The Krasnodar Regions economic potential, developed infrastructure and extensive investment field is

extremely appealing for large businesses, including leading Russian and European banks. A third of the independent region banks registered in the Southern Federal District are based in the Krasnodar Region. Their role in providing affordable financial services is priceless, for regional banks are the heart of the market for small and medium businesses. The share of loans given out to small and medium business over the past three years has grown from 15% to 25% out of the entire volume of loans issued in the region. We are proud that the regions banking community has been able to hold its head up high while working

through the challenges faced over the past several years; it has kept its stability and positive growth curve. The financial market today is seeing a steady growth in the volume of customer deposits, the number of loans issued by banks has been picking up, and the terms and conditions for receiving loans are becoming less strict. Loans used in the regions economy have made up more than 70% of GRP volume. Thanks to its clients and partners trust, merited reputation, reliability and sustainability, I am confident

that the banking system will be able to continue to carry out its ground-breaking ideas in the banking sector, mold a modern culture of financial relations and make financial services more affordable for the public.The peoples money in the region should go to work for the region! This will help not only fortify trust in the

banking community, but also help modernise businesses, augment job creation and increase the city budget revenue. Our one big objective is to grow the economy and increase the standard of living.I would like to wish the entire banking community success in its work, stability and new professional

achievements that benefit the Krasnodar Region.

Alexander tkachev, Governor of the Krasnodar Region

Dear ladies and Gentlemen,The outgoing year 2010 has witnessed positive development in both the Russian and

Krasnodar Region economies. The Krasnodar Region has demonstrated GRP growth, substantial improvement in large and medium companies financial performance, a greater influx of investment, and more jobs created in small and medium-sized businesses.Strong performance has been delivered in all core sectors of the regional economy,

such as manufacturing, agriculture, construction and retail. This growth has contributed to consolidated regional budget revenues in 2010 totaling over 154 billion roubles. The banking sector plays a key role in the Krasnodar Regions economic development.

Our region has one of the most extensive and efficient banking networks in Russia. This underlies a highly competitive environment, which prompts banks to fight for each client and meet the growing business and private needs for quality banking.Most Krasnodar Region banks have recently marked their 20th anniversary. Krasnodar

Region credit organisations have accomplished a lot over the past 20 years by having introduced new banking technology and business loans. People in the region can now pay for services at malls and make money transfers to other cities and countries in no time at all. Regional credit organisations mainly serve small businesses and the consumer sector,

so each and everyone in the region knows where to turn for help if need be. We are happy to offer our sincere wishes of health, prosperity and further business

success to both the management and staff of these banks, as they contribute to the regions financial stability.

Ivan PeronkoDeputy Governor of the Krasnodar Region

Dear ladies and Gentlemen,A number of Krasnodar Region banks are celebrating their 20th anniversary this

year. Over the past two decades these banks have been reliable financial partners for implementing development projects in the region and for increasing the affordability and quality of public financial services.A universal network of credit organisations has been created in the Krasnodar Region,

which aids in the regions economic development and offers a wide-range of financial services.Many banks are helping carry out projects that the regional government first introduces.

The Krasnodar Region has a favourable competitive environment that allows bank clients to always have the opportunity to pick the best services as soon as possible. Client trust is one of the credit organisations cornerstone principles; the regions banks

are able to compete trust-wise with large, state-owned banks. All the while these banks have proven their ability to compete and irrefutable advantage in terms of mobility for their clients. The Association of Regional Banks of Russia wishes the Krasnodar Regions credit

organisations a happy anniversary and hopes that these organisations will be even more integrated in the Associations work to fortify the Russian banking sectors stability; be more active in voicing their proposals for creating a competitive financial market.

Anatoly Aksakov,President Association of Regional Banks of RussiaMember of the State Duma of the Russian Federation


IGOR ANATOlyEvIcH, HOw DO yOU ENvISAGE THE SITUATION ON THE REGIONS fINANcIAl mARKET ON THE EvE Of NEw yEAR 2011?

In any situation, the most important thing for any credit institution is confidence on the part of its customers. Our banks have been able to win such confidence and, also important, to retain it. Over the past years, deposits have been rising steadily in Kuban. Kuban is tradit ionally seen as an at tract ive

territory for the banking business in many respects. It has one of the most extensive and effect ive banking systems. In terms of assets, the Regions banking sector leads in the Southern Federal District, accounting for 45% of assets, and for 50% of deposits, or more than $230 billion. Most banking products have become cheaper,

allowing banks to offer more loans to corporate and individual customers, soften lending terms and cut interest rates. This is seen from the 1.3-fold increase in the loans extended to the Regions borrowers from January to October 2010.Today, mortgages, loans for the construction,

agrobuisness, and small and medium business are big prioritie

HOUSING IS cURRENTly AN URGENT pROBlEm fAcING lOcAl RESIDENTS. HAvE mANy RESIDENTS DEcIDED TO TAKE OUT A mORTGAGE AND BUy HOUSING?

As many people want to live comfortably already today, they consider their possibilities and opt for a mortgage. The mortgage rates of the top ten banks on the

mortgage market range from 9.5 to 15.5%. Initial deposits have also been lowered, while the average mortgage term has been extended from 16.8 to 18.9 years.Since the federal target programme Housing

was launched in 2005, every third Kuban family that improved their housing conditions by taking out a mortgage purchased housing with support from the state. Overall , more than 158,000 Kuban residents

appl ied for loans to improve their housing conditions, with 65 billion roubles issued.

Over the past 20 years , regional banks have made a significant and reliable contribution to the regions economic growth and betterment of its peoples lives. Krasnodar Region banks play key roles on Kubans market for lending to small- and medium-sized businesses. The regional small- and medium-sized business sector employs almost half Kubans employed population. It is the regional banks that are able to react quickly and flexibly to the needs of their clients.Fourteen independent and financially stable credit

institutions currently operate in the Krasnodar Region, enjoying significant confidence among the population. On the whole, loans issued to small- and medium-

sized businesses by regional banks from 2010 almost doubled to more than 144 billion roubles. Regional banks certainly played a role here, too. We hope that the figure will reach 170 billion roubles by the end of the year.The government i s do ing a lot for smal l

businesses by simplifying access to state orders and building suppor t funds in all regions of

Russia. 263m roubles have been allocated for the Krasnodar Region. The Association of Regional Banks of Russia

(Association Russia) provides significant support to the Regions banking sector. It is the first banking community at the federal level to help build relations between the banking business and the authorities, effectively protecting banks interests and assisting in resolving regional problems at the federal level. On 7 December 2010 , Krasnodar Region

Governor Alexander Tkachev signed Decree No. 1087 On awarding Anatoly Aksakov, President of the Association of Regional Banks of Russia, and Alexander Murychev, Chairman of the Board of the Association of Regional Banks of Russia, Honorary Diplomas of the Krasnodar Region Administration for their contribution to strengthening the Krasnodar Regions banking system, for their professional achievements and on the anniversary of the Association of Regional Banks of Russia.The Governor also expressed his gratitude to

the management and personnel of the regional banks for their contribution to the development of the Krasnodar Regions banking system, their responsible attitude and professional achievements.I would like to use this opportunity to congratulate

the regional bank teams on their round-number anniversar ies , wishing cont inuing success in implementing their most ambitious projects.

Dear colleagues,

It is my great pleasure to wish you a happy 20th anniversary of the Krasnodar Region banking system!The establishment of commercial banks was a key component in the 1990s liberal

reforms that transformed Russias economic and social structure. Regionally, their principal objective will continue to provide universal support for all sectors of the Krasnodar Region economy.In having come such a long way, we survived hard times and preserved our customers

trust in the Krasnodar Regions banks. Today, the Krasnodar Region is served by an efficient banking sector strongly positioned to fulfill the regions economic and financial potential, and fuel its diverse and dynamic economy. The Krasnodar Regions bank network is one of Russias largest with over 1,500 branches

that offer a full range of modern banking services. These banks have been demonstrating stable and strong performance to meet the growing needs of the Krasnodar Regions economy and public.A lot has been accomplished over the past twenty years and, of course, there is still much

more to do. Our impressive achievements give us confidence in the future and provide a strong foundation to build upon, as well as to plan and discuss the future development of the Krasnodar Regions banking sector.I would like to wish you further success in delivering on your new projects and ideas,

scaling new banking heights with steady and sustainable growth. I would also like to wish you health, happiness, prosperity, energy and optimism.

Alexander mityagin, Main Administration Head, Central Bank of Russia for the Krasnodar Region

What were the reasons behind this steady growth? This was a time of powerful and rapid development in the regions economic potential, promoted by the construction of a railway, the Novorossiysk Port, Sheskharis oil terminal, development of rich oil reserves, an influx of investment, including from the West, which was showing strong interest in Russias r ichest region, and the development of trade ties. Ekaterinodars trading houses had branches not only in other Russian cities, but also abroad. The N. Ditsman and Sons Trading House, specialising in milled flour products, had shops in St Petersburg, Tiflis, Vitebsk and other cities. Trading house Brothers K. & Kh. Bogarsukovy had a wide network of stores, including in Poland, England and France. Most trading houses enjoyed a spotless reputation.

Take, for example, the AzovDon Commercial Bank, which said in its 1908 report that the Trading House of A. Yeroshov and Sons was considered one of the richest and most powerful The trading house is led by strong, devoted and energetic people. It is for this reason that the local branches of St Petersburgbased banks competed for the Krasnodar Regions best trading houses by trying to gain them as clients. The regions agricultural sector was developing

dynamically in the early 20th century. Credit

F. Palimpsestov, a notary at the local distr ict court, was responsible for getting the ball rolling. The init ial capital was modest, at just 13,000 roubles. The board included people seemingly far from banking, such as a notary and a lawyer. P. Yakuninsky, a merchant, represented the citys economic elite. The new society proved a success, seeing an 11fold increase in its members over a couple of months, while its capital reached 130,000 roubles. The members could deposit their savings and take loans out at an interest rate of 10 per cent. In October 1881, Ekaterinodars first bank was

opened up, becoming the 234th financial institution in Russia. The bank was founded by . Bogarsukov, I. Gorchakov, . Shorshorov, F. Chmovzh and others. V. Tretyakov became the banks first director. The City Duma provided the bank with significant support at its inchoate stages. It was four years later that the State Bank opened a branch in Ekaterinodar. In its first years, the city bank accepted over over

8m roubles from customers. In four years, the bank saw a yield of 11.4 per cent, and it had been growing steadily until the economic crisis of the early 1890s. When the Ekaterinodar Bank turned 30, it was Russias 33rd largest bank by fixed assets, and 21st by gross profit. By that time, there were about 300 banks in Russia.

cooperation had become a powerful impetus for agricultural development, which was boosted by savings and loan associations, whose fixed assets were based largely on contributions. The first such company was set up at the Tikhoretskaya settlement in 1894. The Regulations on Minor Loan Institutions unif ied Russias lending system, promoting its rapid development. The capital of savings and loan associations was formed with the support of the State Bank (at 6% per annum).The Krasnodar Regions loan associations, which

appeared here much later than in the European part of Russia, were making up for lost t ime by expanding rapidly and strengthening this v ital sector. In exploring the reasons behind such a huge breakthrough, which made credit cooperation in the Krasnodar Region so special, specialists pointed out that pr ivate land ownership was a natural and traditional form of land ownership here. The liberation of natural forms and transfer to a monetary economy was faster; reforms and economic novelties were also taking root faster, providing better conditions for industrial lending. In 1909, the number of associat ions in the

Krasnodar Region rose by 62 per cent, against

Russia's average increase of 36 per cent. By 1914, the regions credit cooperation industry had 255 legal entities uniting over 200,000 people.Among the banks operating in Ekaterinodar by

1907 were the State Bank, the Peasant Land Bank, the Russian Bank for Foreign Trade, and the AzovDon Bank, with a total turnover of 392.3m roubles a significant amount for those times. In ten years, the State Banks operations in the

Krasnodar Region increased 2.5-fold, but the bank was losing its leading position under the pressure from many branches of Moscow and St Petersburg banks. In 1911, the RussoAsian Bank opened in

Ekaterinodar. In 1912, the First and Second Mutual Loan Societies were operating in the main Cossack city, along with the Tobacco Growers Bank, the Kuban Central Union of Minor Loan Institutions, the Ekaterinodar Savings and Loan Association, and the Bank of the Mutual Loan Society of Clerks. The Kuban Central Union of Minor Loan Companies, opened in 1912, was the largest one in southern Russia. When it was first started it encompassed 40 associations, and in 1917 it already had 105 loan

associations and 54 savings and loan associations. The Unions turnover topped 52m roubles. There were large banks in other Krasnodar Region

cities in the early 20th century, too, including the Foreign Trade Bank in Novorossiysk, the Russian Bank for Foreign Trade and the AzovDon Bank in Yeysk. Bank branches were also opened in Maikop, Armavir and Kavkazskaya settlement. The RussoAsian Bank was the leader, having opened seven branches in the Krasnodar Region. Most of its customers were traders who could borrow 10,000 to 30,000 roubles from the bank. The owners of plants and trading houses could borrow hundreds of thousands of roubles, but such cases were rare. The customers of the five branches of the Azov

Black Sea Bank included the regions leading companies , such as the trading houses of the Tarasovs, the Yeroshovs, the Galanins, the Ditsman JointStock Company, Steingel & Co, and others. By that time, banks began to control the regions

key industries. Among other things, they traded in wheat, wood, tobacco, sunflowers, and had huge storage facilit ies where many goods were kept. Understandably, exchange committees were not happy about this. In 1923, the representatives of Armavirs exchange committee asked Russias trade and industry minister to establish control over the banks commission operations, while also insisting that banks should be banned from procurement and trading activities. At the beginning of the 20th century, banks

controlled not only the leading sectors in the Russian economy, but also the Krasnodar Regions trade.

Our staff has gradually expanded together with the Banks operations. Serving their customers in good faith, each ZENIT Sochi Bank employee follows the golden rule: the customer comes first!Even in the hardest years of economic turmoil and

transition, ZENIT Sochi Bank continued to grow in leaps and bounds: 1995: Black Thursday hit the banking sector, sweeping

315 banks out of business. That year, the Bank recorded 550m roubles ($110m at the 1995 exchange rate) in revenue and also bought, renovated and furnished its new office.August 1998: Amid the 1998 Russian financial crisis,

one of the worst in in the countrys history, ZENIT Sochi Bank successfully delivered on all performance targets and reported an endofyear profit. 2008: While the global financial crisis crippled all sectors

of the Russian economy, ZENIT Sochi Bank increased revenues by a factor of 2.2 and its capital by a factor of 2.73 versus 2007. A stable and reliable bank does not need to fear stagnation.

offices in Krasnodar and Armavir. Although the continuing liquidity squeeze forces banks to

curtail development of their office networks, ZENIT Sochi Bank has retained the full scope of its expansion programme. Today, its operations cover Black Sea coastal cities from Anapa, Krasnodar and Armavir to Adler and Sochi.In 2007, ZENIT Sochi Bank became a subsidiary of

ZENIT Bank.ZENIT Bank was established in December of 1994 by

In recent years, the Krasnodar Regions insurance market has undergone considerable changes leading to a clear definit ion of key trends and an increasingly complex market structure. An important step in the evolut ion

The Associat ions pr imary objectives are to develop the insurance business in the Krasnodar Region , prov ide comprehensive insurance solutions to local customers, advance an individual and corporate insurance culture in the Krasnodar Region, and coordinate activities of its members.The Associat ion arranges publ ic

outreach events offer ing Krasnodar businessmen and individuals detailed information about insurance, and also methodological guidance and practical advice on related management, financial, legal and other issues.Today, the Krasnodar Region Insurance

Association is the major communication hub supporting constructive dialogue between all players in the insurance market. In the near future, it plans to launch information campaigns to improve insurance-related financial literacy, set up liaison with universities, and run a statistical survey to assess the potential capacity of the insurance market with regard to specific insurance products.

THE KRASNODAR REGION SHOUlD REmAIN A cENTRE Of TRUE fAITH AND vAlOUR, pATRIARcH Of mOScOw AND All RUSSIA KIRIll SAID


The Patriarch timed his visit to Kuban to coincide with two religious holidays St Prince Alexander Nevsky Day and St Catherine The Great Martyr Saint Catherine. The Krasnodar Regions strong and

energetic people contribute to the glory of our Fatherland, and I am happy to meet local residents and pray together with His Eminence Isidor (Metropolitan of Ekaterinodar and Kuban), and also to talk with the Krasnodar Regions authorities and people, Patriarch Kirill told reporters at the airport.Thousands of people gathered to greet

Patriarch Kirill in downtown Krasnodar, including delegations from across the entire region. The Divine Liturgy in the military cathedral of St Prince Alexander Nevsky, led by the Patriarch, was broadcast on a regional channel. After the serv ice , Patr iarch Kir ill

delivered his pastoral address to the people of the Krasnodar Region. He said he held

the service with a special feeling in the very same cathedral that he consecrated four years ago. Talking about Cossack valour, the Patriarch stressed that this meant more than just a beautiful uniform and elegant posture, more than just a dashing appearance and courage. Valour is the ability to win. Without

victory, valour turns into a caricature, a mockery. We can only speak of valour where there is victory Victory requires an allout effort; it cannot be secured by ones form, perfect weapons and military skills, though these, too, are absolutely necessary. Victory, however, is always achieved by the power of the human spirit. This is a copybook maxim, and history confirms it: people who lose the power of the human spirit cannot win.According to Patr iarch Kir ill , the

Krasnodar Region used to be Russias most religious region, thanks to the Cossacks ardent faith. It was because of their faith that

the Cossacks were persecuted and

murdered, that their entire way of life was eradicated. Others feared the preaching of other values, that Cossack strength and valour could become an unshakable pillar of faith for our people. It is for this reason that the Cossacks were destroyed. And today, as the Cossack culture is exper iencing a rebir th, the Russian Orthodox faith is also being revived, and it is important to choose the right path. May God's blessing be upon the Krasnodar Region and its prosperous, rich and strong people!To mark his visit to the Cathedral of St

Alexander Nevsky and the church service

held there, the Patriarch presented the Cathedral with an icon of St George the Victorious, a symbol of valour and victory. He also congratulated Krasnodar Region Governor Alexander Tkachev on his name day and gave him an icon of St Nicolas and a patriarch Bible as a gift. He wished the governor St Nicolas eternal protection from all evil, and that his life journey be directed towards doing good deeds.Patriarch Kirill also awarded Nikolai

Doluda, Ataman of the Kuban Cossack Army and Vice Governor of the region, with the Russian Orthodox Church Order of St Sergius of Radonezh of the 2nd degree. Members of the congregation were not forgotten, either: everyone had the chance to receive a small icon of St Alexander Nevsky graced with the Patriarchs blessing. May Gods blessing be upon you all

and support you during your life journey. God bless you, your families, fr iends, and your work, the Patriarch told the congregation.At noon, Patriarch Kirill laid a wreath

of white flowers at the eternal flame in downtown Krasnodar in memory of those who gave their lives during World War II. After visiting the memorial, he attended the Kuban Cossack Armys changingoftheguard ceremony. That evening and the next morning, on

the day of the citys heavenly protector The Great Mar t yr Saint Cather ine , Patr iarch Kir ill held a serv ice in St Catherines Cathedral, Krasnodars main place of worship. For the first time in the regions history,

a Russian Patriarch served in the citys main cathedral on its dedication day.

Laying the pipeline along the bottom of the Black Sea, from Russia's Novorossiysk to Bulgaria's Varna, is one of Gazprom's largest projects over the past few years. Over 70% of the region has access

to gas today, the governor pointed out, adding that although this figure is higher than the country average, there remain towns and villages in mountain and resort areas where gas has yet to be supplied. In the Tuapse District, for example, just 5% of homes are provided with gas. The South Stream project's implementation will change the situation for the better, Alexander Tkachev believes.The agreement was symbol ical ly

s igned on the 45th anniversar y of Kubangazprom, Gazprom's regional subsidiary. The deal is paramount for efficient cooperation between the region and Gazprom for many years to come, Kubangazprom's head Sergei Zhvachkin noted.The agreement, signed in Moscow, is

to be carried out from 2010 until 2014. According to its provisions, Gazprom will consider supplying additional volumes of natural gas to Krasnodar and the region's southwestern part (Anapa, Novorossiysk, Gelendzhik, the Abinsk Distr ict, the Krymsk Distr ict and the Temryuk District). The increase will be made possible thanks to the renovation of existing facilities and construction of new ones, which will become part of the Krasnodar Region's Unified Gas Supply System. The cooperation between the Krasnodar

Region and Gazprom will not just provide the fuel to the region's homes, but will also help prepare for and hold the 2014 Winter Olympic Games.

OlympiceducationfortheOlympicCityThe Sochi 2014 Organising Committee developed an

innovative Olympic education system. It is built around the concept of training continuity from elementary education to secondary degree options. The system is being deployed on three levels with popular, academic and executive programmes. Popular education programmes are designed to

raise awareness of the Olympics and Paralympics. They target a broad audience on local (the Krasnodar Region and Sochi), national and international levels. Popular Olympic education will be supported with a comprehensive learning toolset: animated cartoons, web solutions, crossword puzzles, publications in popular magazines, and games, such as a unique multimedia quest The ABCs of Sochi 2014. The academic component encompasses knowledge

of the sports industry, Olympic and Paralympic movements, and will focus on designing curricula for education providers. Sports executive programmes will be introduced to

train world-class sports managers that will accumulate profound knowledge and strong skills for staging top international events. Executive training will be provided at the Russian International Olympic University, which will be a key part of the Olympic legacy.

7 June 2010 was attended by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge.

Focusonabarrier-freeenvironmentIn July 2010, the Russian Government approved

a detailed accessibility action plan drafted by the Sochi 2014 Organising Committee to create a barrier-free environment for the Winter Games in Sochi. For people with disabilities, the envisaged improvements will enable unhindered access to transport and public infrastructure, and availability of special services as well as properly trained personnel and volunteers.In March 2010, the Organising Committee held a

barrier-free environment workshop involving people with disabilities, Olympic construction managers, and one of the top accessibility experts from the International Paralympic Committee, Nick Morris.In June, the children of Sochi had an opportunity

to learn a lot about the history of the Paralympic movement and enjoy Vancouver games highlights shared by the four-time 2010 Paralympic champion and Sochi 2014 Ambassador, Irek Zaripov. Also, in October, Sochi hosted the Fifth International Festival Cinema without Barriers, which demonstrated the strong potential for people with disabilities to be successful in fulfilling their creative talents.

EnvironmentcomesfirstThis year, the Organising Committee has designed the

Sochi 2014 Environment Strategy based on four key components: Games in Harmony with Nature, Climate Neutral Games, Zero Waste Games, and Enlightenment Games. Currently, Sochi is already covered with a network of automated environment monitoring stations and the construction of waste processing plants is already underway. Notably, the Sochi 2014 project has become part of the global UNEP Climate Neutrality Network, as it will ensure zero CO2 balance.Environmental commitments have been faithfully

complied with at all stages of Olympic preparations. All Olympic venues are being constructed to meet green standards and have been designed to incorporate state-of-the-art environmental technology for enhanced energy and resource efficiency: heat recovery, closed-loop water supply and rainwater collection systems, dual heating / air conditioning technology, energy-saving lighting, etc. An environmental compensation programme is

in place to alleviate the construction impact. The measures include tree planting, restoration of fresh-water fish populations, installation of sound barriers along ways and rail roads, and continuous environmental monitoring.Sochi Administration has signed an environmental

cooperat ion agreement with the Sochi 2014 Organising Commit tee and rat if ied a similar memorandum with Sochi 2014 partners. On 13 October 2010, Vladimir Putin sanctioned

the Environmental Support Programme for the 2014 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.

VolunteeringfortheOlympicsIn 2010, the organisers focused on building a

robust volunteer movement in Russia, which is critical for successfully hosting the 2014 Winter Games. To this end, a network of volunteer centres is being created in Russian universities. As early as February 2011, selected candidates will be assigned to support the staging of the European Cup in Alpine Skiing in Sochi. The Sochi 2014 Organising Commit tee , in

collaboration with the Sports Ministry, IOC, ROC, sports federations and public organisations, is also working on projects to promote Olympic volunteering: the Sochi-Vancouver-Sochi Olympic Volunteer Relay, Volunteers and Sport, and the Star 2 programme. MascotdesignersonthehomestretchAnother important 2010 milestone was December

5th, the submission deadline for Sochi 2014 mascot design ideas. Start ing from September 1st the mascot competit ion website was visited by over over 1.2m people and the number of designs submitted exceeded 18,000. The ideas came from all over Russia, from Kaliningrad on the Balt ic Sea to Kamchatka on the Pacific coast, and also from Russians living in the United States, Austria, Belorussia, Estonia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan. The age of mascot contenders ranges widely from 3 to 77. The most popular features among submitted

concepts include animals (bears, snow leopards, dolphins), snow objects (snowman, snowflakes, icicles), fairy tale characters (Father Frost, Snow Maiden , Cheburashka , Russian knights , and Kolobok).The competition finalists will be shortlisted by the

Expert Jury and the winner will be selected live on television by a public SMS vote in February 2011.

PartnershipbreakthroughIn 2010, the chances of the Winter Olympics

marketing success have been reinforced with new business partnerships. In September, the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games found a new partner, Ingosstrakh, which is the biggest Russian insurance prov ider. Today, Sochi 2014 general partners and fr iends include such major companies as Aeroflot, Megafon, Rostelecom, Rosneft, Sberbank, VOLKSWAGEN Group Rus, and BoscoSPORT. Russias regions have enthusiastically joined

the pre -Olympic ef for t . At the Sochi 2010 International Investment Forum, the Sochi 2014 Organising Committee and regional governments signed a memorandum of cooperation in sports development, volunteer training, Olympic and Paralympic Awareness programmes, and transfer of expertise on barrier-free environments and green construction standards.

We must show that we are open. The more contacts we have, the faster the stereotypes will be destroyed, Vladimir Putin stated at a news conference in Zurich following the announcement of the World Cup voting results. He also said that Russia will do its best

to ensure the convenience and security of championship guests. Among other things, Russia will pass a special federal law, similar to the Olympic Law, to provide the legal foundation for the 2018 World Cup. The Olympic Law regulates the organisation and holding of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games and the development of Sochi as a mountain resort. In accordance with the Russian bid, the

championship games will be held in 13 cities across Russia, which are arranged in four clusters, including Moscow with its

KRASNODAR REGION GOvERNOR cOmmENTS ON RUSSIAS vIcTORy IN THE RAcE TO HOST THE 2018 wORlD cUp:- I am so excited, I can hardly contain myself. I still cannot believe that we actually did it,

that we won, and that the World Cup will indeed be held in Russia! This victory is thanks to the enormous efforts put in by our Bid Committee, the Russian

government, and the desire of millions of Russians, including from our region of 5m people. The Krasnodar Region is the countrys only region that will host the event in two cities,

Krasnodar and Sochi. We have been fighting for it, and we have obtained the right to welcome the best football players on the planet. Today, football is the Krasnodar Regions most popular sport, while Krasnodar is not just

the regional capital, but also the region's football capital. A remarkable stadium will be built here that will become the third largest in Russia. Not just sports, but also the regions transport, road and hotel infrastructure will receive

a real shot in the arm, as more than 50,000 new jobs will be created. Hosting World Cup matches, just like holding the Olympics, is a fantastic opportunity for

a qualitative breakthrough in the Krasnodar Regions development. Millions of football fans will find the World Cup to be one of the brightest, happiest and memorable events of their life. We have got the winning ticket, but we deserved it. I would like to congratulate the entire

country and all Kuban Region residents on this truly historic occasion!

Luzhniki stadium, Sochi, preparing to host the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, Kazan and St Petersburg. Championship matches will be held in Krasnodar as well, making Kuban the only region to host World Cup matches in two cities. The idea was strongly supported by Krasnodar Region Governor Alexander Tkachev. In Sochi, the football matches will be held

in an Olympic stadium, while in Krasnodar, a new football arena is planned. The stadium will be the third largest among all Russias 2018 World Cup stadiums, after Moscows Luzhniki and the St Petersburg stadium.

Governor Alexander Tkachev congratulated the Kuban football players on their return to the Premier League.The head of the region and club president came to the

Football Club Kuban training centre together with his deputies, Nikolai Doluda and Ivan Peronko. It was the symbolic door with the First Division in large letters that drew the regional administration leaders attention.Yet, the doors most interesting feature was that it

was chained and locked. Head Coach Dan Petrescu explained that this creative present was given to the club by a Krasnodar advertising agency after Kuban came roaring back into the Premier League.I think everyone gets the point, Tkachev said,

who had his picture taken next to the coach and the symbolic present.Ahead of the red carpet meeting with the football

clubs players, the Krasnodar Region governor discussed Kubans plans with Petrescu at the clubs training centre.Tkachev underlined that this comeback to the

echelons of Russian football was achieved by taking first place. It was the first time that Kuban joined the Premier League having taken first place.I think that while playing in the Premier League

Kuban will draw on its extensive experience from playing in the First Division. They say that it is particularly difficult for clubs to play in it due to a large number of games, tight travel schedule and [often] less than satisfactory field quality, he said.Coach Petrescu, in answering a question about

Kubans potential, said that he is determined to elevate Kuban into the Champions League within two to three years.As for why he decided to sign on with Kuban, Petrescu

said: People often ask me why I left the Champions League for Kuban. You know, when the governor and club president appear at your door step in person with an offer to coach the team, this isnt exactly something one can refuse.Apart from the governors support, he has never

seen better training conditions than in the Krasnodar Region, Petrescu noted. He has a lot of experience under his belt coaching a number of teams, including Unirea, a Champions League club.I would like to congratulate the team on this

wonderful result, Governor Tkachev said while meeting with the coaches and players. Over the course of seven months, Kuban fans kept on cheering their team on and believing in victory and Kuban delivered on their expectations. I think that our home region, where people appreciate this game in their own distinctive way, simply has to be represented in the upper echelons of Russian football. I believe that our team will secure a firm footing in the Premier League and will represent the Krasnodar Region extremely well. The team, at the very least, is to become one of the countrys topten clubs next season; in the best case scenario, the team is to join the top five clubs in the country.

Some of the plant's buildings have already been finished and are now used for storage. There are plans for processing equipment to be installed this December, while the plant itself is expected to start operating next March.The CEO told Mr. Tkachev that the plant's capacity

would amount to 40,000 tonnes per year, including 30,000 tonnes of paddy rice, 5,000 tonnes of wheat and the same amount of barley. The project will create 150 new jobs in the district. The plant will process the most valuable varieties of the Krasnodar Region's paddy rice and then put them into retail packaging. Along with the processing and packaging of

premium Russian rice, the company has plans to start growing rice varieties selected in Europe and planted at specifically chosen locations, as well as special rice for kids. This year, Russia harvested 1.14m tonnes of rice,

with Kuban's piece of the rice pie exceeding 900,000 tonnes, an increase by more than 100,000 tonnes from 2009. The average harvest was 6.8 tonnes per hectare. To put this figure into perspective, the Primorsky Region, Kuban's closest rival in terms of rice production, harvested just 80,000 tonnes of rice.You might remember that there used to be a popular

fields. In Kuban, it is wheat that has always been the queen of the fields. As for rice, it has been steadily becoming the king of the fields in the past few years, the governor told rice growers in the Akhtyrsky village. This year, Kuban has produced a record harvest. But to produce as much as a million tonnes of rice, we still have a lot of effort to make. According to Alexander Tkachev, the region has yet to

realise its full potential. There are newlyprepared areas that may be used for rice planting; furthermore, new scientific innovation may be of great help for farmers.Several steps need to be taken to enable rice growers

to repeat, and even surpass, this year's success. First of all, the irrigation systems should be modernised, and the crop rotation methods improved. Second, energy saving technology should be used to reduce production costs. Finally, focus should be brought to marketing, which is an important prerequisite for success.I think that everyone knows today that all these

steps are vital and that the government is more determined than ever to develop the industry, the governor pointed out. Right now, the Rice of Russia federal target programme is being finalised, and it will help resolve many problems and become a powerful driver.At the same time, Alexander Tkachev emphasised

that the foundation for future success is still the people and their incredible diligence, professionalism and devotion to their native land.I would like to thank everyone who put part of their

heart and a tremendous effort into the 2010 recordbreaking harvest! I wish all rice growers, ameliorators, scientists and processers a happy rice harvest holiday! May good luck and fine weather always be with you! said Tkachev. After he congratulated the farmers, the governor

presented awards and certificates issued by the region's administration to everyone who showed brilliant results during the harvest period.

The Leaders of the Kuban Economy Competition has been held annually in the region since 2005. The contest is open to all types of organisations (including governmental, municipal and international) operating in the region. Since 2005, more than 500 organisations from the regional capital and other municipalities have taken part in the contest. In 2010, the finalists represented all the major

industries in the region: agriculture, wine-making, health and resort, transport, communications, manufactur ing, trade and consumer serv ices , banking, insurance and energy. Kavkaz was declared the best agr icultural

enterprise. Wine-makers from Abrau-Durso were announced as the best in their industry. The Health and Resort winner was Health and Recreation Complex LOO. The Communications award went to Kubtelecom. Bread factory Khlebzavod No. 3 won in the Food Industry category. Soglassye Insurance Company, along with many other companies, was also recognised for its work. Deputy Governor Aleksei Agafonov said that

participation in the Leaders of the Kuban Economy Compet it ion signif ies public recognit ion of a businesses success and speaks volumes about entrepreneurs pro-active attitude. Thanks in large part to this years competition

winners and prize recipients, the Krasnodar Region, unlike other Russian regions, avoided the economic slowdown in 2009. The Krasnodar Region once again secured its leading position in gross output of agricultural products. The region is second in the country in terms of new housing and third in terms of investment. This year, all of these factors gave a fresh start to the economy, something backed up by sustainable GRP growth.The Leaders of the Kuban Economy Competition

winners embody the economic achievements and efficient management in our region, Mr Agafonov stressed in his address to the finalists. Our near-term objectives include ensuring an innovative, knowledge-based and competitive economy. Those gathered in this hall today are integral to this ambitious Krasnodar Region development project, he said.

The official birthday of the famous Cossack chorus is 14 October 1811. History, however, suggests that in fact it should be a year earlier, because the Black Sea Cossack Army Chorus started performing at church services in October 1810 on the Feast of the Intercession of the Most Holy Mother of God. Eighteen months later, in December 1811, a music (or brass) choir, which later grew into a symphony orchestra, was established in Ekaterinodar. The army chorus and brass choir developed alongside each other. Contemporaries remember that they were the best military and art establishments in the Russian province at the time. Fast forward 100 years, and the choirs centennial was celebrated in 1911 at the same time to commemorate the Orthodox Feast of the Intercession of the Most Holy Mother of God that is held sacred by the Christloving Kuban Cossacks.One of the founders of the famous Orthodox

papers were being considered for approval by the Crimea commanders, the choir subsisted on support from the author of the idea archpriest Rossinsky. In 1810, the choirs budget was prepared and nobleman Konstantin Grechinsky was invited as the choirmaster. He selected talented Cossacks, half of whom were young children, to sing alto and descant parts (women were not allowed into the chorus). On 14 October 1810, the chorus sang in the Military Holy Resurrection Cathedral for the first time ever, all as part of the celebrations of a big Orthodox holiday. But it was not until Odessa and Kherson GovernorGeneral Duc de Richelieu officially approved the staff and budget and earmarked the money for the Army Chorus on 18 January 1811 that the opportunity arose to bring in new, better choristers, teach them how to read music, give them quality costumes and begin to pay them better. In total the chorus cost the state two thousand roubles a year. Thus, the Chorus performed as early as 14 October 1811, which is also the day of the Intercession of the Most Holy Mother of God (and now the birthday of the Army Chorus), as the official Chorus of the Black Sea Cossack Army.The songs that the Kuban Cossack Chorus sings

today were listened to by the dashing Cossacks who took part in the Battle of Borodino. The Chorus inspired the heroes of the Battle of Shipka Pass and plastuns (Cossack marksmen and scouts) who helped to free Bulgaria in 18771878. Many prominent Russians, including the Russian tsars Alexander II, Alexander III and Nicholas II, admired the art of Kuban singing.Over the course of two hundred years the chorus

has had its ups and downs. Moreover, it was dissolved under the decossackisation campaign, when the choristers and musicians were told to go home under the threat of a revolutionary tribunal. The choir was later revived under the Soviet regime, but its last choirmaster and first artistic director, Grigory Kontsevich, was repressed and killed in [the Stalin purges of] 1937. But following generations carried on with his cause.Today, the chorus cultural heritage is directly

arts in the Kuban region) was the wellknown Black Sea spiritual enlightener archpriest Kirill Rossinsky, who did a lot of good during the period of the Cossacks settlement of Kuban. It was he who in August 1810 filed an application with the administration office of the Black Sea Cossack Army regarding the establishment of a singing chorus for, as the document read, the most splendid divine service at the local cathedral church. There was another important reason to create a professional singing ensemble: the Kuban Cossacks descend from Zaporozhye Cossacks, from whom they inherited the natural need to express their feelings through dance, song and music. That is why the choir drew on the folk and classic music to expand its repertoire.The initiative was eagerly supported by ataman

(Cossack leader) Fyodor Bursak and members of the army administration office. Originally, while the

The State Academic Kuban Cossack Chorus, awarded the Order of the Peoples Friendship, is universally acclaimed as a gem of world culture. The Kuban singers and dancers are always given a warm welcome in Russia and Ukraine, Germany and France, Belarus and Serbia, Italy and Bulgaria, Canada and China, Mexico and Guatemala Yet, the warmest welcome of all comes at home in the towns and stanitsas (Cossack settlements) of the native Krasnodar Region.The company played a huge role in

reviv ing the Kuban Cossack culture. Mind that Viktor Zakharchenko, a native Cossack, is also a Cossack colonel. The WWI song You, Kuban, You are Our Motherland! in his adaptat ion was first performed as the Cossack anthem at the Constituent AllKuban Cossack Convention on 12 October 1990. Four and a half years later, the Kuban Cossack Chorus with its lead singer Anatoly Lizvinsky sang the anthem at the session

of the Legislative Assembly, which helped to convince the deputies that it was this inspirat ional and unify ing song that can become the official anthem of the Krasnodar Region. Now, the chorus voice is inexorably associated with the millions of Kuban people.The Kuban Cossack Chorus is listed

by regional law as an important part of the traditional folk cultural heritage of the Krasnodar Region. Both Governor Alexander Tkachev and Legislat ive Assembly Chairman Vladimir Beketov prov ide it w ith as much support as possible. The chorus is perceived as a genuine Russian brand at var ious international forums that contributes to creating an appealing investment image.2011 marks an important anniversary

for the oldest Cossack professional ensemble. The date is so significant that the artists, headed by Artistic Director Viktor Zakharchenko, live on a special schedule.
