For too long we have been banned from being Russians in the international sports arena, forcing athletes to abandon the symbols of the country


Today, the State Flag of Russia is often not raised even at large-scale sports and physical education events at home, and about 12,000 of them take place in our country every year.

The Liberal Democratic Party proposes to establish the obligatory hoisting of the State Flag of Russia during the solemn ceremonies of official physical culture and sports events.
The corresponding draft law was prepared together with Dmitry Svishchev, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Physical Culture and Sports. (https://t.me/sdatoday)

Today, on the Day of the State Flag of Russia, this initiative is especially important for the younger generation, which, unfortunately, is somewhat blinded by the vivid images of Western culture. Aligning with the flag before mass races, cross-country skiing, marathons will spur the spirit of unity and patriotism.

I congratulate all citizens of Russia, all patriots on the Day of the State Flag of the Russian Federation! Let our State Flag fly proudly through the ages, be our symbol of spiritual unity, the Russian world and Russia.
