— First of all, we would like to thank Vladimir Butorin, one of the founders and sponsors of skiing in the Arkhangelsk region. It was he who created a powerful base in Malinovka, which became the ski Mecca of the Russian Federation. This is where the “Wart Rise”, as I called it, was born, which showed how physically ready our athletes were to compete in modern conditions. For five years, Vladimir Fedorovich supported skiing, thank you very much for this. We know him personally, which is why I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to him.

When I learned that it was decided to end the sponsorship of skiers from the Arkhangelsk region, we, as one of the strongest teams in Russia, invited the athletes to represent the Republic of Tatarstan. We can’t let the best skiers in the world ask for money. We invited them to our home so they could defend our republic. We have a good material base, one of the best in the country, we do all this constantly,” Fardiev told the correspondent.
