In 1991 he was suggested a position in the City Administration, where a system of direct international contacts was being established as it was a new trend for the city. For a long time foreign contracts were distributed by a centralized system, from Moscow, so the business was learned in the process. It's difficult to realize today that in those times telephone calls to the foreign partners were ordered in advance and the most efficient and quick means of data transmitting was the telegram and telex. The strategy of international contacts of Orenburg was the following: the basis of the economic cooperation is the personal communication, cultural contacts, which form the "trade mark" of the city, its image as a potential partner. Due to this the most distinguished project for the international arena of the 90-ies was the exhibitions and sales of the pictures painted by Orenburg artists in the Paris auction house "L'Hotel Druot".
At the same time Administration of Orenburg started creating a system of public relations, so the international relations were accompanied by the interaction with the public, national, political organizations and media. The department of foreign affairs was transformed into the committee of public and international relations and Rustem Galimov was appointed to be the deputy of the committee chairman. The work contained many trends; namely he was the ancor-man of the program "Orenburg meridian" on the TV-station "Planet".
