Title: Xi chosen as 'Person of the Year' in Russia

President Xi Jinping was named as "Person of the Year 2014" by the Russian Biographical Institute for the "strengthening of economic and political ties with the Russia", which reflects the rising influence of China and its leader.

It is the first time the institute has given the award to a leader of a country that doesn't belong to the Commonwealth of Independent States.

The Russian Biographical Institute, founded in 1992, is a nongovernmental and noncommercial organization based in Moscow. Its Person of the Year award acknowledges the recipients involved as being guided by the principles of social, spiritual and moral responsibility.

Besides Xi, four other national leaders have been given the award: Russian President Vladimir Putin, Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko and Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan.

In all, the institute handed out awards to 42 individuals, companies and institutions in areas including culture, science, charity, medicine and health, and national defense.

"China is a fast-developing country with growing global influence. It is natural that more and more attention is being attached to its leader and decision-maker," said Zheng Yu, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

Even Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has said he is a fan of Xi. China.com.cn released a photo on Monday of Zuckerberg with a copy of Xi's book on governance on his desk. The website quoted him as saying that he had purchased several copies of the book so he and colleagues could learn about "socialism with Chinese characteristics".

The book, Xi Jinping: The Governance of China, a collection of 79 speeches and 45 photos of the president, was released by China's Foreign Languages Press in October. So far, more than 260,000 copies have been bought by overseas distributors.

Zhong Xin, professor of Renmin University of China, said Xi's political ideas and style of language make it easier to communicate with the world.

"His language is very simple but contains a lot of information, and he doesn't mention a lot of ideological confrontation," said Zhong.

"There are a lot of overseas scholars who still believe in the China threat theory. At least, the popularity of Xi's book can help to eliminate the misunderstanding," the professor said.

Putin Named 2nd Runner-Up to Time's 2014 Person of the Year

The Moscow Times

TIME / ReutersThe covers of the December 10, 2014 issue of TIME magazine is shown in this handout photo provided by Time on Dec. 10, 2014.

Time Magazine said Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin was its second runner-up to be 2014's "Person of the Year," with Ebola fighters and Ferguson protesters occupying the top two slots, respectively.

Time referred to Putin as an isolated "imperialist," whose aim is to restore the Russian Empire and project its influence into the world by offering an alternative to liberal Western democracies.

Every year Time's editors declare a person, idea, group or project as person of the year, who "for better or for worse has done the most to influence the events of the year."

Mikhail Gorbachev, Yury Andropov, Nikita Khrushchev and Josef Stalin were among the Russian leaders to have been declared Time's "Person of the Year" in the past. In 2007, Time named Putin "Person of the Year," declaring him a "tsar."

Among Time's readers, who voted in a separate ranking, Putin came in sixth with 4.3 percent of the vote. The incumbent Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, came first.

Need to go easy on the LGBTs. Anyone can make a mistake as the hedgehog said while getting off the hair brush.
