Figure Skating Federation of Russia (FFKKR, Russian: Федерация фигурного катания на коньках России, lit. Figure Skating on Skates Federation of Russia) is the national sport governing body for figure skating in Russia. It is recognized as such by Russian Olympic Committee and by the International Skating Union (ISU). No individual membership exists, the members of the FFKK are in various ice sports associations. FFKK was founded in 1992 as the successor of the Figure Skating Federation of the USSR (Soviet Union).
The goals of this governing body are: taking a plan of competitions by the calendar, developing a curriculum for figure skating in Russia, forming a national team, making contracts with sportsmen and coaches, international relations with other skating organizations, assistance to regional federations, organizing the Cup of Russia and other important events. Since 2009 the main sponcor of FFKK is Rostelecom.[1]
Structure
FFKR was headed by Valentin Piseev, who also had been a president of Soviet skating federation since 1989.[2] However, he refused to nominate himself at the 2010 presidential election.[3] On June 4, 2010 Aleksandr Gorshkov, formerly a vice president, was elected a new president, with Piseev becoming a general director.[4] Anton Sikharulidze, who also registered as a presidential candidate, withdrew due to the changes in FFKKR Constitution. Sikharulidze commented that "presidential powers are limited to representative functions" and the whole post turned nominal, so the real leadership belongs to general director, including the ability to sign financial documents and making sole decisions. Sikharulidze added he does not "want to become a president just to carry the general director's briefcase".[5] Tatiana Tarasova, usual Piseev's opponent, approved the decision of making him a general director, stating that "not using his knowledge and international authority would be very wrong".[6]
Apart from the president, there are several vice presidents. As of 2006, the list of vice presidents included international judge Sergei Kononykhin, Aleksandr Lakernik, Oleg Nilov and Irina Raber.[7] Irina Raber and Oleg Nilov head the largest regional federations, in Moscow and St. Petersburg.[6] In 2010 Alexander Kogan were also elected as vice president.[6]
The governing of FFKK is fulfilled by the Conference, which is held once in two years. All decisions during the Conference are made through voting. Members, who will participate in it, are chosen by regional figure skating federations. In intervals between the Conferences FFKK is ruled by the Presidium of 30 people.[8] There is also a Coaching Council of 17 people, among whom are Zhanna Gromova, Victor Kudriavtsev, Alexei Mishin, Tamara Moskvina, Tatiana Tarasova.
Regional federations
FFKK is composed of 36 regional federations.
