100 Young Russians to Watch

This is the fourth in our series: 100 Young Russians to Watch. In this issue we present another 10 individuals from around Russia—artists, entrepreneurs, athletes and even a publisher ... all personifications of Russia’s future.

To be selected as one of our 100 Young Russians, individuals must meet the following criteria: the individual is a citizen of Russia; the individual is 45 years of age or under; the individual has made a significant, positive contribution to his or her sphere of activity and shows particular promise for a lifetime of achievement; the individual’s achievement and promise is recognized by Russian and international observers.

Special thanks in putting together this selection of young individuals goes to Dengi  magazine , Alexei Dospekhov from Kommersant daily , Tatyana Bateneva from Izvestia, Liya Fisenko,  Andrei Zelenov and  Alexander Kovalev from TASS.
