Dear readers!

I invite you to visit an English-speaking variant of the magazine «Moskva sportivnaya». Our magazine exists since 2007, and from the moment of foundation it comes out on two languages – Russian and English. After all, Moscow annually holds a huge number of largest sports events, including World Championships. Therefore we have always considered as our debt to inform of them not only Russians, but also you - citizens of another countries of the world.

Our purpose is to acquaint you with sports life of the Russian capital in all possible foreshortenings. Therefore on pages of our website you can read interviews not only with the popular Russian sportsmen, but also with the legionaries acting in our country. They will share their impressions about Moscow life, about Russian sports, how it is – to work in our city. Also we will operatively inform you of the largest international competitions, which are held in Moscow. For this purpose serve the part of “Digest” called “Moscow sports” – there you can find announcements and reports from the last competitions. I also advise to you to pay attention to another part - “Back to the USSR” - which is written by the master of Soviet journalism, Vladimir Dobkin.  Here he tells the most interesting sport stories from the past.

I hope you can find a lot of the interesting things on the pages of our website. After all it gives you a unique chance to see Russian sport life from two different views: natives and foreigners.
