This is the result of super motivation and the manifestation of super motivated people. You do much needed things: medicine, helping in emergencies, training other volunteers. All this is very important. Thank you! It is a great happiness to be involved in a great cause. Especially in periods such as our Motherland is experiencing now. We are going through them and, I am sure, we will pass with honor, there will be victory! The President said yesterday that volunteers are always there where help is needed. This is the main indicator. Thank you!” – Dmitry Chernyshenko addressed the volunteers.

“The sports facilities in the Tyumen region are constantly being modernized and expanded. Over the past five years, 350 new sports facilities have opened in the region.
