Dmitriy Kobylkin: It needs to have more trust in youth

«The future of Russia is in hands of young people. It needs to have more trust in youth. It needs that they themselves would say, how they wish to see their country and Yamal», as the governor of Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug Dmitriy Kobylkin explained his decision to announce 2016 the Year of Youth Initiatives.

The head of the region answered questions of journalists of regional and federal mass media in Salekhard.
In his opinion, it is no need to be afraid of attracting young people to participation in political life of the region and the country and considering their opinion. «Today we all depend on external factors. Often we do not understand from what side we can receive an impact. The society should be ready to become citizens of their own country. We must understand that we shall have to refuse many things for some time, but we must not forget about youth. A new initiative will give the opportunity for big number of youth people to show themselves, will allow them growing as personalities and professionals», as he explains.
