Wrestling is a sport where you not only develop your muscles, but also your mind, because you develop determination and strive for victory. Stanislav Olegovich was just like that. He devoted all his free time to sports, and from an early age he was engaged in wrestling, first at school, then in the army, then in the GRU special forces, and subsequently in the SOBR special forces unit. And when he was in a leadership position, he always paid attention to the physical training of all employees and military personnel of the regional department of the Russian Guard. Holding these competitions is the best thing that could be thought of to perpetuate the memory of Stanislav Olegovich, and there are plans to hold a memory tournament annually. I wish the participants a fair fight, bright victories and may the strongest win!” – said police colonel Nikolai Kuritsyn in his speech.
