Alexei Kudrin was presented with the Finance Minister of the Year 2010 award by Euromoney magazine at the fall session of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in Washington.
Euromoney praised Kudrin’s efforts to form reserves from oil revenues while prices were growing, securing the creation of the reserve fund that allowed Russia to emerge from the global financial crisis in far better shape than experts had anticipated, said Padraic Fallon, chairman of Euromoney Institutional Investor, as he gave Kudrin the award Sunday.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
