Alexander Sokolov - 56 years old

      The coordinator of the Kirov regional branch of the LDPR, Pavel Dorofeev, wished Alexander Sokolov health, strength, and patience.

      "First of all, I want to wish him and his family good health, strength, and energy to continue working and developing our region, to complete the projects that have been started. There is a large amount of work, so I want to wish patience, strength, and energy. As residents of the Kirov region, we are interested in having the person have the strength to work, and for the region to develop," noted Dorofeev.

      The director of the Kirov region Tourism Development Center, Alexey Cheptsov, linked the congratulations to the development of the region.

      "Under the leadership of Governor Alexander Valentinovich, our region is confidently moving forward: new tourist routes are being opened, and points of attraction for guests and residents of the region are emerging. Thanks to his concern, the Kirov region is becoming more recognizable and attractive at the federal level and beyond the country. I wish our governor health, strength, patience, and inspiration," said Cheptsov.

      According to the head of the Kirov administration, Vyacheslav Simakov, it is especially important for the regional leader to find time for family amidst a heavy workload.

      "I have already personally congratulated Alexander Valentinovich, as well as in my Telegram channel and in Max. Once again, I wish him good health, all the best, and more opportunities to spend time with his family, because there is a lot of work to do. There are enough problems, so work takes up almost all the time," noted Simakov.

      By the way, a year ago, Newsler.ru reported how the residents of Kirov congratulated Alexander Sokolov on his birthday. At that time, journalists from one of the local Telegram channels went out into the streets of the city and asked passersby what they would wish for the governor. Most wished the regional head health, strength, endurance, and success in work, but there were also more ironic responses. For example, one resident stated, "He didn't congratulate me, so I won't," while another, wishing the governor happiness and health, called him Vladimir.
