- I would like to express my gratitude to the State Duma for the opportunity to open this exhibition. It means a lot for all of our veterans, current players and, I am sure, the fans. We are celebrating the 75th anniversary of our ice hockey in our country. One of the main tasks of the Russian Ice Hockey Federation is to preserve our victorious traditions while striving for new successes. Moreover, I am pleased that ice hockey unites all Russians and plays a big role in the patriotic education of our youth.
