“Let’s not be ironic once again” – Kommersant FM

There will be a parade of athletes, and in the very center of the capital: Vladimir Putin instructed the government to submit relevant proposals by March 1. It is known that the idea of ​​reviving the tradition from the times of socialism was submitted to the president by the head of the International Boxing Association, Umar Kremlev. The head of state supported the initiative. Kommersant FM political commentator Dmitry Drize is looking forward to a new colorful show on Red Square.

The Government of the Russian Federation has been instructed to prepare proposals for holding sports parades on Red Square in Moscow by March 1, 2024. This information is posted on the Kremlin website in the “Presidential Instructions” section. As we can see, there is little information.

The head of the International Boxing Association, Umar Kremlev, made a proposal to revive the glorious tradition of the times of Joseph Vissarionovich. It happened in October in Perm at the “Russia is a Sports Power” forum with the participation of the first person. President Vladimir Putin, as you know, supported the idea.

Its concrete implementation is apparently still a long way off, although who knows. But this story was given a move, it did not disappear into the sand.

There is no point in telling our respected audience what sports parades were like in the last century. Anyone can familiarize themselves with this if they wish. This will be of interest in light of the fact that, perhaps, soon our athletes will again march in rows and columns across the main square of the country, demonstrating the triumph of both a healthy lifestyle and the advantage of the current Russian reality, thanks to which such results can be achieved.

Let us also not once again be ironic about this. After all, we can approach the matter creatively and breathe new life into this event, so that after all we do not return to the times of the Father of Nations, but give the Russians another reason to rejoice and be merry. However, it seems that there are those who do not share such optimism.

And this is what they want to note in this regard: do not be upset, since in any case it is impossible to return the past. Although, if you wish, you can invent such a present that the past will seem like paradise. This is the first thing. Secondly, in modern Russian reality there are already enough, let’s say, ambiguous and even threatening trends. And against their background, the parade of athletes looks like a completely innocent and even creative event.

This is a reason to apply mental and other efforts, as well as the prospect of mastering apparently considerable budgets

And one more thing I would like to draw your attention to: again, everything coincided in an amazing way. Another news came from the world of sports, and the most popular one at that – the Russian Football Union refused to go to Asia and wished to remain in Europe. Let them not like us there and let us not be allowed to compete.

Here’s a New Year’s toast: let us, no matter what, strive for the best. If there are no suitable ideas, it’s better to leave everything as it is. For, as popular wisdom says, there is no need to cut the branch on which you are sitting.
