Prime Minister Vladimir Putin sent a message of greetings to Vladimir Malyshev, rector of the Gerasimov State University of Cinematography (VGIK), on his 60th birthday

 
 
 

The message reads, in part:

"As the rector of one of Russia's leading schools training filmmakers, your hard work is an enormous contribution to the development of talented young professionals. This is not only a huge responsibility, but also an extremely interesting and compelling creative work that requires experience, comprehensive knowledge in many spheres, and pedagogical and administrative skills. You have all of this in abundance."
