The "MoloT" project gathered 420 representatives of the working youth of the Volga region in Perm.

      The regional final of the project "MoloT" for working youth in the Volga Federal District has started in Perm. It has gathered 420 participants from 14 regions of the Volga – young specialists from the real sector of the economy aged 18 to 35, as well as young families with children. Prior to this, the strongest teams were determined at the regional level, reports the press service of the Presidential Envoy to the Volga Federal District. On behalf of the Presidential Envoy to the Volga Federal District Igor Komarov, his deputy Oleg Mashkovtsev welcomed the participants during the opening ceremony. "The President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has repeatedly emphasized the strategic importance of supporting working youth, linking it to the further development of the country. Last year we launched the first large-scale regional project 'MoloT' in Russia. This year, 16,000 people and nearly 800 enterprises participated in the qualifying events. It is now clear that the project is in demand and meets the key requests of working youth," he expressed confidence. The Governor of Perm Krai Dmitry Mahonin also addressed the participants of the project. "It is a great honor for us to host this event. I thank the Presidential Envoy of the Russian Federation in the Volga Federal District Igor Komarov for the trust placed in us. And, of course, I thank all of you for your desire for new experiences, your willingness to develop and explore the unknown. Friends, you are choosing sports – and that is wonderful! It is especially nice that among you are entire families who have come to us in Perm," he said. The program of the three-day competitions, which take place from August 6 to 8, includes 15 disciplines. These are intellectual tournaments, creative contests, and a whole range of sports disciplines: table tennis, mini-football, volleyball, relay running, chess, gorodki, march-past, sports orienteering, military relay, family relay. This year, the final program has undergone changes. Tug-of-war has been added to the list of disciplines, and a video contest and a professional skills competition have been included in the overall team standings. For spectators on the Kama embankment, a site for gorodki sports has been organized, where everyone can try their hand. For the participants themselves, a family program has been prepared: visits to the zoo, excursions to the exhibition "Weapons of Victory" and to the Perm Art Gallery. "In Tatarstan, more than 2,500 young specialists participated in the 'MoloT' project. Such interest shows that working youth are ready to engage in public projects. The final in Perm is an opportunity to meet participants from other regions, exchange experiences, and see how youth initiatives are developing in enterprises across the district. I am confident that our team will represent the republic well, and the guys will return home with new ideas that they can implement in their teams," noted the Minister of Youth Affairs of the Republic of Tatarstan Azat Kadyrov.
