Prime Minister Vladimir Putin awarded government certificates of honour to disaster relief workers for their response to the Sayano–Shushenskaya hydroelectric power station accident
"There is no need to describe the damage done to the hydroelectric dam. You have seen it with your own eyes. I would only like to thank you all for your courage and outstanding professionalism, and to celebrate your heroic efforts, which started in the very first hours after the accident and never stopped for one minute as long as they were still needed."
