"To strengthen the unity of Russia, all-Russian forums are important, of course, - said Finnish Doctor of Political Science and Associate Professor of the University of Helsinki, Johan Backman. - But, basically, I always have a positive attitude to the forums, like the one in Nizhny Novgorod, in which international experts and people from all regions of Russia participate, because it may well strengthen the unity of the country."

During a plenary session of the forum, deputy governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region, Yevgeny Lyulin, noted that the Nizhny Novgorod region had taken the lead in terms of industrial production. "The successes of the region can only be associated with the success of economy, - said the deputy governor. - The region's budget fills real economy. In the first half of 2013, the Nizhny Novgorod region was ranked first on the index of output in the Volga Federal District and entered the top ten in the country, although there is a decline of that in Russia."

Other speakers also pointed out the positive dynamics of the region.

"Nevertheless, today it is necessary to adopt a single comprehensive federal law to define the state policy in the sphere of industry and legislate the priority of innovative development to thus improve production efficiency and product quality," said deputy chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, Evgeny Morozov.
