Sushkov, the Chairman of the Government of the Republic of Mordovia noted in his speech. – Historical justice has been restored thanks to Evgeny N. Kablov, Director General of VIAM and the employees of the institute. Today the memory of the admiral Ushakov has been perpetuated on the ground of Temnikovskij region. I am sure, that this event will take the rightful place not only in the chronicles of the region, but in the chronicles of the Republic”.
