On June 28, festive events dedicated to Youth Day are held throughout the country. Youth movements, public organizations and leading Russian companies present their projects and programs with opportunities for young people.
The youth of Perm and Omsk were greeted by the First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office of Russia Sergei Kiriyenko, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko, Governor of Perm Krai Dmitry Makhonin, Governor of Omsk Oblast Vitaly Khotsenko, as well as representatives of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs and the Movement of the First.
First Deputy Chief of the Presidential Administration Sergei Kiriyenko congratulated the youth of both capitals.
“This year, Russia has two youth capitals. I congratulate you! You are great! You are capable of doing the impossible. You are the future of Russia. Today, all opportunities are open to you thanks to the decisions of Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. Russia is a country of opportunities,” said Sergei Kiriyenko.
Addressing the youth of the two youth capitals and all of Russia, the Deputy Prime Minister noted: “Happy Youth Day! Now I will say a phrase that every Perm resident knows: in Perm, everything is real! President Vladimir Putin has just opened new youth centers in the regions of the country via video link. Here in Perm, four youth centers have already opened, and by the end of the year there will be three more, where you can realize your talents, your opportunities, become volunteers, create and try. Bon voyage!”
Dmitry Chernyshenko took part in the opening of new youth centers in the regions of the country via video link, which was held by President Vladimir Putin. Five new youth centers and the first creative village of Russia “Schastlivtsevo” – the space of the art cluster “Tavrida” (a project of Rosmolodezh) in the Kherson region were opened.
“We proudly bear the title of youth capital this year. I wish for all of us that everything in this city would be real!” – said Governor Dmitry Makhonin.
Let us recall that Perm, as the youth capital of Russia 2024, became one of the central venues for the Youth Day celebration. The program spanned several days, from June 25 to 29, and included dozens of events.
Also, as part of a working visit to Perm, the Deputy Prime Minister assessed the “Weapons of Victory” exhibition and met with leaders of Perm youth organizations. The meeting took place at the site of the A. Shpagin plant: during the Great Patriotic War, young Perm residents helped repair armored trains for the front at this place.
Dmitry Chernyshenko emphasized the importance of their role as leaders, leading tens and hundreds of young people. He noted that there are about 37 million young people in Russia, and it is important that they feel supported.
In addition, Dmitry Chernyshenko and Dmitry Makhonin greeted the participants of the festive events dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Ural-Great club.
They thanked the veterans of the Ural-Great club and the current players of the Parma team.
“I congratulate the basketball capital of Russia on the 30th anniversary of the legendary club Ural-Great! A huge thank you to everyone who created, supported and developed this club, a true champion in every sense – both in Russia and in Europe. Special words of gratitude to those who created excellent conditions for our youth to play basketball. And on the eve of the 30th anniversary, we witnessed the creation of a magnificent infrastructure. I am sure that Ural-Great will have a bright and victorious future for many years to come! Happy holiday to everyone,” the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.
“I am glad that many young guys, looking at you, are involved in sports. Their parents support them. And only thanks to this joint work can we rightfully be considered the basketball capital of the country. I wish you success,” the governor said.
Let us recall that in 1995, Sergei Kushchenko created the Ural-Great club on the basis of the student team “Polytechnic”. In six years, the team went through the path to great victories: it won the status of two-time champion of Russia in basketball and became the first club, besides CSKA, to conquer this title.
