Congrats, dude! I'm obviously not a part of the Russian local board, but my guess is that they could use a merit source there as well as the forum needing more sources in general.
Anyway congrats and spend them well!
Maybe its just a new way of providing new merit sources of their merit...
I congratulate you. You have been going for a long time to this and finally you have become it.
Thank you guys for your congratulations!
