About me
I have been working in the field of physical education and sports for more than 30 years.

In childhood, I practiced artistic gymnastics, received the title of Master of Sports of the USSR, and subsequently received a higher education in physical education. Sports captivated me so much that I dreamed of becoming a trainer and connecting my life with sports. After graduating from the State University of Physical Education, I got a job at the first Russian fitness club World Class, where I worked my way up from instructor to fitness director. Later on, became a President of the Russian Fitness-Aerobics Federation.
In 2005 defended PhD thesis on the creation of fitness training technologies.

Since 2008 have been involved in the implementation of fitness programs, certification of fitness instructors, and development of professional standards.

I am a member of the Council for Professional Qualifications in Physical Education and Sports
In 2024, I was included in the working group for the preparation of the Council under the President of the Russian Federation on the development of physical culture and sports.

Since 2021, I have been a member of the Public Council of the Ministry of Sport of the Russian Federation. Also I am the Chairman of the Public Council for an independent assessment of the quality of service conditions at the Мoscow City Sports Department

I am a member of the Expert Council on Physical Culture and Sports of the Social Policy Committee of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation.

I am a member of the Supervisory Board of FISAF International (our Federation is its official representative).

As an expert of the state level, I see my mission in the development of affordable, mass and quality fitness in Russia, based on the professionalism of trainers
I understand that for me, as a manager and public figure, training and professional development are a constant process. Important and necessary to use internal resources, develop your potential. To correspond, to be aware of new trends. To communicate with professionals. To research, to improve, to implement.

Professional retraining in the program “Sports Management” (National Research University Higher School of Economics), international education in the field of sports sciences (Executive Program CIES/FIFA in Sports Management diploma). Training in other areas helps and adds confidence
Current activity
Being the President of RFAF, I focus on the formation of a healthy lifestyle culture through the organization and implementation of fitness aerobics events for everyone.

I actively work on the implementation of Russian quality standards compatible with international ones in all areas of physical culture and sports. I organize and develop cooperation with state and municipal authorities, NGOs and active public, not indifferent people in Moscow and regions of Russia.

I do my best to popularize fitness aerobics among people of different ages all over the country.

I love my work very much and I am sure that together with my friends and like-minded colleagues we will do our best to make fitness aerobics loved and practiced by this wonderful sport.
