On my own behalf, on behalf of the entire staff of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan, on behalf of our veterans and all those who were lucky enough to work with Boris Germanovich Petrov, I express my deepest condolences to his family and friends on his death. Boris Germanovich's passing is an irreparable loss for all of us.
His whole life is the clearest example of dedication to his work and boundless service to people. As our veterans recall, Boris Germanovich was a true professional, a leader with a capital letter, demanding and purposeful, but at the same time always responsive and sensitive to the problems of others, ready to support not only with words but also with deeds. His experience, his knowledge, his wisdom were invaluable. He was not just a brilliant specialist, but an inspiring leader, capable of motivating and captivating.
Although our paths did not cross so often, I have always appreciated Boris Germanovich for his outstanding professionalism. His life is a vivid example of selfless service to the cause of environmental protection. He was always ready to share his invaluable experience, support his colleagues, and his opinion was authoritative for everyone who worked with him.
Our team, our veterans, and I personally are immensely grateful to Boris Germanovich for the opportunity to work alongside him, learn from him, and draw inspiration from his example. We grieve with you.… Bright memory..."
Alexander Shadrikov, Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan
