As it became known to the Cheka-OGPU, the Moscow government decided to transfer to…

As the Cheka-OGPU learned, the Moscow government has decided to transfer the “Initial Training Stage” (NP) to a paid basis in all sports schools in the capital. All the money went to the war and to fight UAVs.

It is with the NP that the sports career of future champions begins; starting from the age of 7, on a competitive basis, coaches of various sports recruit girls and boys for systematic and constant training in sports schools in the capital. In the declarations of the Russian Ministry of Sports, he is given an important role. The initial stage is systematic sports activities for the maximum possible number of children and adolescents, aimed at developing their personality, instilling healthy lifestyle skills, nurturing physical, moral, ethical and volitional qualities, and determining specialization. Now all these important points for the mass attraction of Moscow children to sports will become paid services and prices, as they say, will bite. Their parents will have to pay 10, or even 15 thousand a month for their child (add uniforms, fees, etc.). However, one piece of good news is that the transition to a paid basis may be postponed to 2024 due to the autumn mayoral elections in the capital. Such a very unpopular decision could seriously undermine confidence in the current mayor Sobyanin. There is a catastrophic lack of money in the budget and they are starting to cut back on children’s sports.

At the same time, as the Cheka-OGPU already wrote, including at the expense of Moskomsport, the “Leader’s Dance” tournament was held in Moscow, the final of which took place on the evening of May 27 in the Kremlin Palace of Congresses and at which the elite – managers from state corporations, the Presidential Administration, The apparatus of the Government of Russia and Moscow – at the expense of state funds, they competed in dance disciplines, drank strong and ate at the expense of the executed.
