As is known, at the end of each year Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine provides the competition of an award of "Yaroslav Mudriy" on «representation of a product of mass media» which should have objectively interpreted militia activity for the current year.

Rewardings of 2010 (unlike previous when competition wasn't carried out at all because of such people like ex-minister Lutsenko who pressured mass media activity) consisted of a set of nominations: «discovery of year», «fidelity to law-enforcement subject», «partner of year», «the best objective critical material», «a TV sketch of year» etc.


Stogniy’s program “Emergency news” was nominated to «fidelity to law-enforcement subject» reward, while Stogniy, being on the jury, crossed out from the list of nominees Alexander Zub’s program, which was broadcasted on V.Pinchuk’s channel.


At jury meeting, Stogniy explained the decision: as the representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs he couldn’t let win any other program similar to his own. At first jury members weren't agree with such act but later approved Stogniy's “single-handed decision”.
