The Guards Came Through

FIDE President Kirsan Nikolayevich Ilyumzhinov (pictured below on the right) signed today a long-term agreement with the commander-in-chief of the National Guard of the Russian Federation Viktor Vasilyevich Zolotov (pictured below on the left) in order to develop and stage a regular and strategic cycle of chess initiatives in at least four Cadet Academies of the Russian Guard (Rosgvardiya). It’s worth remembering that the National Guard is independent from the Russian Armed Forces, and that its federal executive body was established in April 2016 by a decree signed by Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin to secure borders, take charge of gun control, combat terrorism, organized crime, protect public order and guard important state facilities.
