      Society After a prolonged illness, Alexander Vasilevich Batyrev, former deputy governor and honorary citizen of Nizhny Novgorod region, passed away on August 6. He would have turned 78 in November. This was reported by Evgeny Lyulin, Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of Nizhny Novgorod region, in his Telegram channel.

      Batyrev's biography is closely linked with the development of the region. He progressed from a worker at Gorky Television Plant to general director and vice-governor of the region. Under his leadership, modern radar technology was developed, and the Sverdlov Plant, which he managed in recent years, was able to survive difficult times and maintain its production capacities.

      In 1988, Batyrev began his party work, overseeing industry, construction, and assistance to rural areas. Later, as vice-governor, he was responsible for key sectors of the region's economy.

      "But most importantly, what kind of person he was – responsive, attentive to people, ready to support those in need. He helped orphanages, developed science, and cared for the team," emphasized Lyulin.

      In 2006, Alexander Vasilevich was awarded the title of "Honorary Citizen of Nizhny Novgorod region."

      The NIА "Nizhny Novgorod" editorial team expresses condolences to the family and friends of Alexander Batyrev. Additional information about the date and location of the farewell will be announced later.

      Earlier, it was reported that the farewell to the honored artist of Russia Viktor Kondrashkin would take place in Nizhny Novgorod on August 6.
