BEST BOOKS, PUBLISHED IN RUSSIA
I am planning to make an announcement about the best books in the Sport Industry published recently in Russia, which will attract the attention of the Sport professionals. Mostly it will be the number of the books directed to the Artistic Gymnastics, Acro Sport, Rhythmic Gymnastics, Circus Art, Choreography & Dance.
Taking into the account a massive political and social pressure to the Russia within last few years, I decided to make my own steps in order to clarify the Russia’s achievements mostly in Elite Sport. My goal is to represent the best authors and their published works to the people from around the World as an authors from the country which already made an incredible contribution to the Olympic Movement.
This is why, I expect to get feedback from the people who are interested to read the proper books contains the truth about Russian Sport LIfe , instead of get some rumors and gossip about great Russian Athletes which (from my point of view) were, is and I am sure will be on the top of the Hierarchy of the Best . All references and possible offers of the any publication are very WELCOME.

MORE THAN A GAME
More than a game – Women’s Gymnastics
I will not make my own comments about the program produced by American TV and leaded by Frank Gifford , one of the best Sport commentator in the World. His voice being so strong convinced all of us that everything what he said is the TRUTH! I remember the time when Soviet Sport commentators were the same during their reports : strong, honest and very professional. I am sure that watching this program you will understand means THE GAME and MORE THAN A GAME !?

GOODWILL GAMES ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS (1990) SEATTLE, USA
Below is a very special and memorable for me interview because it was time when USSR Artistic Gymnastics was incredibly strong and powerful. I was a a successful Gymnastics Manager/ Coach/ Administrator which worked for Dynamo Moscow Gymnastics Club.
I will never forget the time when I was invited for the interview with … LARRY KING (USA) & VLADIMIR POSNER (USSR). The interview took place in Central Club Army in Moscow. At this time for the security reason I was not allowed to make this interview at the area of the Central Dynamo Stadium ( Moscow, Leningradskiy Prospect) . This is why I took my young Gymnasts to the Central Army Club which was located just straight across the street in couple blocks from Dynamo Stadium. Taking into the account the time difference between Moscow and Seattle we have to be in place at 5:00 am… The girls were still sleeping, but despite of this fact we made this important interview very well…
