Information and analytical company "Medialogia" made the official rating of the most famous people of Russia in 2016... The main criterion for creating the rating was the number of messages in which this or that person is mentioned in the Russian media. It covers the period from January to December 2016. The media includes over 35,000 different television channels, radio programs, newspapers, magazines and internet news.
10. Ulyukaev Alexey Valentinovich
The rating of the most media Russians is opened by a person who is undoubtedly extremely famous, but hardly popular. This is the notorious Aleksey Ulyukaev, who was improved in taking a bribe of $ 2 million in November this year. Interestingly, the Rosneft company, which offered Ulyukayev a bribe, nevertheless received a controlling stake in Bashneft. The number of mentions of Ulyukaev in the media is 125,377.
9.Kadyrov Ramzan Akhmatovich
Kadyrov is a versatile personality. Athlete, honorary academician and - unexpectedly - popular blogger. Kadyrov has an account on Instagram and VKontakte. The main events discussed in 2016, which brought Ramzan 126,876 mentions in the media, were the decision to name one of the St. Petersburg bridges after Akhmat Kadyrov and the participation of the Chechen president's children in demonstration fights in mixed martial arts without protective equipment.
8. Patriarch Kirill (in the world Gundyaev Vladimir Mikhailovich)
In February 2016, the Patriarch of All Russia met with Pope Francis the First for the first time after the split of the churches in 1054. Church hierarchs met in Cuba, at the airport, and signed a joint declaration, full, as usual, with many good intentions. References in the Russian media - 127 612.
7. Mutko Vitaly Leontievich
The President of the Football Union of the Russian Federation received his share of fame - 146,014 mentions in the media - thanks to the "doping scandal" of the World Anti-Doping Agency. According to WADA, all Russian athletes are doping, and Mutko covers them. As a result of the accusations, Mutko was unable to attend the Olympics in the summer sunny Rio de Janeiro.
6. Vorobyov Andrey Yurievich
The frequency of references in the media to the governor of the Moscow region (174 645) seems to depend not on high-profile events, but simply on the importance of the region under his control. The board is proceeding quietly, peacefully: either in the summer he opened an agricultural exhibition, or promised to increase the salaries of teachers.
5. Sobyanin Sergei Semenovich
The fifth number is another urban planning personage of the media top 10 - the mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin. He became famous for a number of controversial solutions for the improvement of the Russian capital, ranging from the "night of long buckets" to the flooded streets of Moscow due to problems with storm sewers, the launch of the third ring of the overground metro and lanterns in the form of glasses of champagne in the New Year's capital. In any case, according to Muscovites, Sobyanin is to blame for everything. Mentions in the media - 188 623.
4. Lavrov Sergey Viktorovich
It’s not easy for the Minister of Foreign Affairs to live in the world - first there are morons at a press conference, then there are solid pussies in the US election race, which, apparently, negatively affects the mental organization of the popular Russian politician. True, in addition to the juicy expressions, Lavrov also spoke on the phone with US Secretary of State Kerry, discussed politics in the Middle East and reported that Ukraine had suffered from unscrupulous politicians. Mentions in the media - 201,829.
3. Dmitry Sergeevich Peskov
The surge of public interest in the person of the press secretary of the Russian President was awakened by two events, which outwardly look disparate. One of them is his appearance at a car wash in red sweatpants and uggs, for some reason aroused a storm of emotions on the Internet, and the second is a discussion with Konstantin Raikin about censorship. Raikin talked about the notorious freedom of creativity, and Peskov said that whoever pays a girl dances her. Whatever it was, Dmitry received his 250,374 mentions in the media.
2. Dmitry Medvedev
Russian truth-lover Alexei Navalny continues to delight the public with scandals, intrigues and investigations. In September 2016, with the help of a quadrocopter, he captured on video the luxurious mansions that do not seem to belong to the Russian prime minister, but at the same time they seem to belong. The estimated costs of the restoration of the Milovka estate from the state pocket are 25-30 billion rubles, and Medvedev's mentions in the media are 574,731.
1.Putin Vladimir Vladimirovich
And in the first place in the list of the most mentioned persons in the Runet media in 2016, of course, is the President of the Russian Federation. Putin - most influential person of 2016, an extremely popular figure not only in domestic paper and online publications, but also in foreign ones. No wonder, especially against the background of the main political events in the world - the war in Syria and the scandalous victory of Donald Trump in the US elections. The total mentions of Putin in the media are 1 987 736.
