The king is dead, long live the king!

Dear community!

It was a fantastic year, with great pleasure I took a role of Codeforces Coordinator. This year I learned a lot, communicated with wonderful people and realized how valuable this work is for thousands of people. I would like to thank you all for these great moments! I strongly believe that there are many cool rounds and interesting problems ahead as I'm passing this duty to Nikolay KAN Kalinin!

Please, watch my New Year's speech (Russian language, English subtitles):

P.S. Special thanks go to Maxim Zlobober Akhmedov and Oleg mingaleg Mingalev who helped me prepare this video.

      if any one has the same problem, I get the answer from KAN: "YES, you should resend it!"

For those who don't know much about Russian history and didn't get the joke: this is a parody of President Yeltsin's speech when he resigned on the New Year of 1999/2000 due to being an incompetent ruler an illness.

    Coordinator duties irreversibly change the nature of a person, I guarantee that.

Is this a bug ? >>>most of all tags of problem has vanished . Example : a problem was tagged with dp,two pointer , dfs and similar it has vanished . Please check problemset option . 90 percent of tags are removed .

UPD : The people who changed their handle they are facing that problem .

    You know, when coordinator resigns, it gets the tags with him.

I hope that there won't be people trolling with comments such as "bring back zlobober" or "bring back GlebsHP". Thank you for your awesome work!

Am I the only one who think KAN is too much like Sheldon Cooper?

    Alack that you didn't talked with him during we was preparing. He is a unique man, he isn't like anyone ...

I'm curious — what exactly is the "stupid Russian joke , nevermind" that Gleb refers to in his speech ?

I would really appreciate it if any Russian-speaking person would clarify this. :)

    Stupid, because untransleatable. Words "prime" (in "prime number") and "easy" similar in russian.

    "2017th year was not easy. But composite".
