Our compatriot honored the Tar District throughout the Omsk Region! We congratulate the wife of the district's provost, Father Michael Safruchen, Mother Irina, on her high recognition of her efforts!

At the International Forum of Social Entrepreneurs "INNOSIB-2026" in Omsk, the results of the first regional contest "Owner of the Village" were announced. Our compatriot, Irina Safruchen, representing the Tar District, was among the winners. This year's competition was indeed fierce: organizers received nearly 400 applications from the entire Omsk Region, with 18 of them coming from our district.

Irina Nikolayevna was awarded a special prize in one of the most challenging and prestigious categories — "Family Farm." Together with her family, she created a unique farm for the Omsk Region — the only escargot farm in the region. This large subspecies of garden snail is highly valued in cuisine as a delicacy.

The ruling bishop, Bishop Vincent of Tarsk and Tyukalinsk, also offered his congratulations. The archpastor highlighted the importance of family labor and a constructive approach to business, emphasizing that Irina's success serves as a good example for all residents of the region.

"…Heartfelt congratulations…"
