We mourn.
Today, July 30, the great basketball player, Olympic champion, and legend of world sports — Ivan Ivanovich Yedesko — passed away at the age of 82. His name is inscribed in history in golden letters, with the legendary pass that changed the course of basketball history. For all of Russian sports, Ivan Ivanovich will forever remain a symbol of will, character, and that very "golden" moment. Until his last days, he remained a living symbol of that great era of Soviet basketball, consistently participating in the life of sports: attending master classes, opening children's tournaments, and being a welcome guest at all significant basketball events, including in Kazan, where we welcomed him with special warmth. UNICS always held deep respect for Ivan Yedesko. We remember his visits to Almetyevsk, where, already a legend, he found time to communicate with young basketball players, charging them with his energy and love for the game. We express our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Ivan Yedesko. Eternal memory.
