It is necessary to get rid of commercialization in the field of sports – it must be accessible to Russians. This statement was made on Wednesday, February 14, by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
As the head of state noted, it is necessary to support the desire of Russians at any age to stay physically fit, stay active and play sports.
In this regard, it is planned to significantly expand the program for the construction of sports and recreation centers in cities and other localities of the Russian Federation, Putin said.
The Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation must work closely to get rid of commercialization in sports, making sports accessible to all citizens, the president emphasized.
Earlier, Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers Dmitry Chernyshenko discussed with the Minister of Sports Oleg Matytsin the budget that was allocated for development of sports in new Russian regions in 2023. The DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions received more than 3 billion rubles from budgetary and extra-budgetary sources.
Vladimir Putin supported the idea of Sverdlovsk Region Governor Evgeny Kuyvashev to direct part of the revenue from excise taxes to tobacco and alcohol products for the construction of sports facilities. The president also agreed with the initiative of the head of the region to build training centers and a cluster for the production of domestic sports products in the Middle Urals.
