Far East reporters propose Gold Star award for President Putin

A group of journalists have lodged an official proposal to award Vladimir Putin with the honorary title Hero of Russia for his uncompromising defense of the national interest and support of ethnic Russians as well as for supporting the freedom of speech.

The move has been initiated by Konstantin Pronyakin from the city of Khabarovsk, a correspondent with the popular nationwide daily Moskovsky Komsomolets.

Pronyakin says that his letter was also signed by journalists from Khabarovsk Region, Yakutiya, Amur and Magadan Regions, and also the Jewish Autonomous District – all in the Russian Far East.

In the letter that was forwarded to the pro-Putin political movement All-Russian Popular Front, the journalists ask top parliamentary officials – State Duma Speaker Sergey Naryshkin and upper house Chairwoman Valentina Matviyenko – with a request to award Vladimir Putin the Hero of Russia title. It is the highest honorary title of the Russian Federation.
