After 7 days of the voting for the Siberian of the year 32 pretenders among which are two Tuvans - legendary war veteran Vera Bailak, 81, and none the less legendary Albert Kuvezin, 41, - gathered all in all 26 000 votes. Olympic champion in rhythmic gymnastics Irina Chaschina is in the lead, the others 6 come in a very tight group with Albert Kuveyin in it. Voting will last till the 23d of March. And as organisers of the contest say all of the nominees have good chances. Voters from Yakutia turned out the most active - they make up 18 %, then comes Moscow (13,5 %), Novosibirsk (11 %), Altai territory (8,6 %) etc. Interesting that 18 % of votes have been contributed from abroad, mostly from the United States and Germany.
