The Ekaterinburg Administration hosted the award ceremony for the "Tverdye Znaki" business award established by Kommersant-Ural Publishing House. Anatoly Zatsepin, Professor of the Department of Physical Techniques and Devices for Quality Control at Ural Federal University became the winner in the "Person of the Year. Science, Enlightenment" nomination.

Anatoly Zatsepin studies nanoscale photonic materials, X-ray radiation, materials and functional structures used in micro- and nanoelectronics, quantum optics, photonics, computer engineering, and other industries. All research is aimed at radically changing approaches to creating, for example, computer chips, solar pannels, and medical technologies at a high global level. For example, in 2021, the professor led the Ural Federal University research group that is developing methodological recommendations on the use of radiation in the treatment of patients with Covid-19.

"Today's award winners are those of whom Ekaterinburg is proud, the city that creates the solid foundation for our future. I see it as a sign that three centuries of Ekaterinburg's history is just the beginning. We still have a long way to go," stressed Aleksey Orlov, the Mayor of Ekaterinburg.

The winner was determined through a rating study of the most mentioned people, companies and brands of Ekaterinburg in the global and Russian media in 2021, due to which the capital of the Ural is becoming more recognizable outside the Sverdlovsk Region. The analysis of quotability was conducted among federal and world media, such as Kommersant, TASS, RBK, Vedomosti, Interfax, etc.
