Congratulations from Dmitry Rebrov, President of the All-Russian Sports Federation of Sports of the Deaf, on the 33^rd Anniversary of the OSFSG

Dear friends,

Today, the All-Russian Sports Federation of Sports of the Deaf celebrates its birthday.

Over 33 years, the Federation has grown into a large, professional organization with branches in 87 out of 89 regions of our vast country.

By uniting amateur and professional athletes from all corners of Russia, and by building a clear, honest, and transparent system for deaf sports, we follow our mission: to make deaf sports an accessible and effective means of self-realization, rehabilitation, and social adaptation, and to achieve equality through sport.

Special thanks on this day go to you — athletes, coaches, specialists, and, of course, fans and sports enthusiasts! You are the very soul and heart of Russian deaf sports. It is for you that we carry out our systematic work, developing physical culture and sports among people with hearing impairments in Russia, protecting and upholding your rights and interests.

I would also like to thank all friends and partners of the Federation for their support and assistance, colleagues from the Federation's regional branches for their contribution to regional development, and separately — the Ministry of Sport of the Russian Federation. Through mutually respectful relations and close cooperation with the Ministry, we ensure the development of deaf sports at the state level. I also thank the Center for Sports Training of Russian National Teams, with whom we ensure a continuous process of selection, formation, and training of Russian national sports teams for deaf sports, which consistently represent our country with honor and dignity at the international level.

Of course, we must mention the Federation's team — the people whose often unseen, daily hard work ensures our growth and forward movement. My deepest respect to you!

Sport has always been, is, and will be a unifying force — it unites rivals in peaceful competition, unites people with disabilities and able-bodied athletes through creating an inclusive environment, and unites all of us in the aspiration to instill a love for physical culture and sports in every resident of our country, to build a healthy and strong nation.

We do not rest on our laurels and direct all efforts towards achieving the main goal: to make deaf sports truly popular, mass-oriented, and accessible to all.

Congratulations on the anniversary of the All-Russian Sports Federation of Sports of the Deaf!
