Olympic diving champion Ilya Zakharov said when he decided to try his hand in the political sphere.
Earlier it was reported that Zakharov is registered as a candidate for deputy in the Saratov Regional Duma.
– A long time ago. Well, I just realized that many people support me in this endeavor. He therefore took the risk of running in the September elections. I am appointed a deputy of the regional Duma from the New People’s Party – this is a rather interesting party, where the emphasis is on business, on youth, which is quite relevant at the moment.
I would like to show that in terms of development, our Saratov region is quite a promising place where one can not only stay, but also work with dignity, participate in the life of the country. I think that my activity as an assistant will be an opportunity to implement many projects in this direction, quotes RT Zakharov.
