00:03 Congratulations on your victory, Katerina Lazareva.
00:09 Over the last few months, you met a lot of people, and on many occasions you said that
00:15 Russian women can do a lot.
00:18 So some of them even became military pilots.
00:29 And among our governors, we have only one woman.
00:34 Are there any other women in the list of potential governors, and is there a chance you will
00:42 offer one of them to become a governor?
00:44 We do not have that many women in the government, too.
00:49 But you know, when we are making these decisions, we are not looking at their gender.
00:57 We are looking at their professional skills, their qualities.
01:02 But of course, I personally believe the more women there are in the executive bodies, in
01:07 the federal, in the regional, in the municipalities, the better.
01:12 But that's what we are trying to accomplish.
01:14 That's where we are trying to get.
