People in the news

People whom Nizhny Novgorod media wrote about over the past 30 days. We count mentions in publications: the more often a person is named, the higher they stand. The list holds 40 people, 133 mentions in total.

The rating shows press attention, not importance: a politician who made the incident report and a local historian profiled in a feature stand here by the same rule — how many times they were written about.
