LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commending the RUSSIAN AMERICAN REPORTER upon the
occasion of its Second Anniversary

WHEREAS, The communities of which every city, town, village and hamlet
are comprised are the lifeblood of our great State of New York; though
the City of New York is one of the largest cities in the world, it too
is made up of communities which are vital to the life of the City; and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that businesses
which inform and contribute to the vibrancy of those communities merit
the highest commendation; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern and fully in accord with its long-
standing traditions, it is the intent of this Legislative Body to recog-
nize and commend the RUSSIAN AMERICAN REPORTER upon the occasion of its
Second Anniversary; and
WHEREAS, The RUSSIAN AMERICAN REPORTER began publishing on February
28, 2011 and is the only Russian daily newspaper in America; and
WHEREAS, A morning newspaper, the RUSSIAN AMERICAN REPORTER is
distributed free at subway stations in Brooklyn, Staten Island and
Manhattan, as well as at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal; and
WHEREAS, The RUSSIAN AMERICAN REPORTER provides its readers with
community, city-wide and national news and commentary, as well as news,
information and commentary from the former Soviet Union; and
WHEREAS, Demand for the paper greatly exceeds the supply; circulation
is 10,000 daily and is soon to be increased to 20,000; and
WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is pleased to have this opportunity to
commend the RUSSIAN AMERICAN REPORTER and its dedicated staff for bring-
ing community and entertainment news and information to the Russian-
speaking community of New York City, a city known internationally for
its exceptional special interest newspapers and other media; now, there-
fore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend the RUSSIAN AMERICAN REPORTER upon the occasion of its Second
Anniversary, noting with pride the significance of its professionalism,
commitment to community and many contributions to the spirit of diversi-
ty which so distinguishes the City and State of New York; and be it
further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to the RUSSIAN AMERICAN REPORTER.
