Apparently, Azarov adopted some interesting traditions from his famous ancestor.

For example, every year on Forgiveness Sunday, he goes to the main square of Samara to ask for forgiveness from city residents.

22.02.2015 he said in such a speech that he sincerely apologizes to fellow countrymen and thanks them for their response.

Any leader, according to him, is not able to work without miscalculations and mistakes, as a result of which ordinary citizens may voluntarily or involuntarily take offense at him. Every leader, regardless of rank, has ordinary human qualities.

The bulk of people understand this very well, and all leaders, regardless of their positions, should remember this.

Azarov apologized to those whom, for some reason, he was unable to help, to whom he inadvertently inflicted injury with a carelessly spoken word or deed.

"From my own experience," said the senator, "I know how important it is to recognize the unfair treatment of ordinary people."

Criticism of the Governor

In the same speech, hecriticized the current governor, who spoke negatively about educational institutions located in the Samara region.

The governor proposed to unite three Samara higher educational institutions. At the same time, he made statements that "only garbage is collected at the Polytechnic University", that "this university is not worthy of the title of a full-fledged university", which undeservedly offended the students and teachers of this more than a century old university.

As a result of such thoughtless phrases, the situation in the region has escalated. Opponents of the governor, catching on to these statements, lashed out at him.

Azarov called on both sides to slow down the overly emotional intensity of passions and ask for forgiveness on such a day.
