Sberbank of Russia’s Ural branch’s A Million-Dollar Success Story project that was started in October 2008 is now coming to an end. Over fifty Yekaterinburg dwellers contributed to the project with their success stories, with seven finalists featured in Channel 4’s Morning Express show. The winners are to be determined by an open online voting. The first prize is a 30,000-ruble deposit in Sberbank and a chance to win a million rubles, the spokesperson for the bank reports.

The finalists’ stories are available through the bank’s website, where one can also vote for the chosen candidate. The voting is to be closed on December 10, 2008.
