Russian Boxing Federation Secretary General Tatyana Kiriyenko said about 50 organization employees across the country received subpoenas as part of a partial mobilization, but the federation kept the main ones. boxers.
– A question related to partial mobilization. Have Russian boxers received subpoenas? And will the Russian Boxing Federation make the appropriate appeals to the Ministry of Sports?
“We ourselves were the first to apply for the Ministry of Sports. From the first days, we created an operational headquarters, rallied all regions, we have a very strong family and a solid base, we immediately gave a shout, and everyone who received the summons immediately contacted the Federation of Russian boxing on a certain phone number. , and we lit up. To date, we have held back the entire elite of athletes, knowing that the iron curtain will open, and we will have to fight the same and defend the honor of the country in the international ring.
But there are also coaches, judges, employees of the federation who have received convocations, who do not take leave! Everyone went where they needed to go with honor and dignity. We must show by our personal example that we are not satisfied to say that the boxers are the defenders of the fatherland. I say this personally and I answer for every word I say. We will never dishonor our honor. The motherland called and we did everything necessary. But we just don’t advertise it – we do a lot, help and, you might say, save lives.
– Is there data on the number of summons received by boxers and other people in the Russian Boxing Federation?
– Speaking throughout the country, there are already about fifty diaries. Here we are talking about personal trainers, judges. Even those who act as referees here (at the Russian Championship in Chita – editor’s note) have received a second summons. We wrote a letter to the editorial board and explained why it was absent. There is no panic, of course, it is very difficult, especially for me as a woman… A mother’s heart really cries, but the homeland must be defended,” Kirienko told reporters.
On September 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of a partial mobilization.
