| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] All game servers must be located in Russia in the “Ru” zone. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced this on October 19 at a meeting of the Council for the Development of Physical Culture and Sports. The head of state emphasized that it is necessary not only to work on them, but also to make sure that they are in Russia. “We need to include this in a single regulator. What's stopping you?" Putin asked. He also mentioned shooter games with a negative attitude towards Russia. The Russian leader noted that countries in which such products are created should not be allowed to make money from Russia - this applies, in particular, to the USA and Canada. As Regnum reported , Putin noted the openness of Russia, which initially cherishes its traditions, to all modern sports disciplines, including e-sports. According to him, Russia is ready to host competitions that combine classical sports and e-sports. The head of state emphasized that a good indicator of this was the idea of holding competitions that combined e-sports with classical sports. Putin recalled that the format was called “Games of the Future” and they will start on February 23, 2024 in Kazan. At the “Russia – a Sports Power” forum, the head of state said that Russia plans to multiply the number of competitions at various levels for enthusiasts, sports fans and professionals, both national and international, with a fairly high prize fund. The Russian leader emphasized that everything necessary to hold such events at the highest level and invite foreign athletes to them is available - modern stadiums and sports complexes equipped to world standards, as well as successful experience in organizing major competitions. |
