Crimeans told how the best rural settlements in the region are determined. The chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Committee for State Building and Local Self-Government, Roman Shantaev, told how the competition "The best rural settlement of the Republic of Crimea" is held. "In order to participate in the competition, a decision must be made by the village or city council. After the deputies have made a decision, they collect a package of documents, fill out the appropriate form, send it and shoot a three-minute video about their settlement and achievements," he noted. Shantiev said that after watching the videos, committee members go to populated areas, where they distribute points according to certain criteria.
