Sergey Levchenko took third place in the media ranking of governors of the Siberian Federal District

Irkutsk Region Governor Sergei Levchenko took third place in the media ranking of heads of regions in the Siberian Federal District for January 2016 according to Medialogia. His high media index was driven by meetings with federal ministers and experts, including agreements on transferring land from the former military town of IVVAIU, developing Usolye-Sibirskoye and reconstructing the Trud stadium in Irkutsk. He was surpassed by the heads of Omsk and Kemerovo regions.

Governor of the Irkutsk Region Sergey Levchenko took third place in the media ranking of the heads of the regions of the Siberian Federal District for January 2016, compiled by the company Medialogia. Sergey Levchenko’s media index amounted to 4,152.19. As analysts note, in January the governor of the Angara region was often mentioned in the media in connection with meetings with federal ministers and experts.
