Deputy Sergei Ivanov
In the Samara region, Sergei Ivanov was a prominent individual: an athlete, a public figure, and a deputy. Without delving into the deputy's profile, one might assume that he lived solely for the benefit of others. But did he really?
In 2016, Ivanov was elected as the president of the Syzran Boxing Federation. In the same year, he joined United Russia. In 2018, he was elected to the Duma of the city of Syzran, where he subsequently became the chairman of the Committee on Physical Culture and Sports.
Ivanov's election as the President of the Boxing Federation of Syzran in 2016 was not accidental. Prior to 2016, the Federation had experienced a period of complete stagnation with no investment, and athletes received inadequate support. Therefore, Ivanov's main objective upon his election was to attract investment into boxing. At the meeting, the former head of the federation stated that Sergey Ivanov's candidacy should be supported as it presented an opportunity for athletes to receive proper funding from the new federation president. The participants of the Boxing Federation unanimously elected Sergey Ivanov as the new chairman.
