The State Duma of the Russian Federation plans to consider the idea of establishing “e-sports companies” as an alternative service in the military for e-sportsmen. This statement was made by the Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Physical Culture and Sports Amir Khamitov.
Not only is the “alternative” on the list, but also other benefits related to education, mortgages, and so on.
At the same time, Khamitov said cyberathletes could go to universities without competition, which would make it possible to popularize student sports and reduce the outflow of Russian athletes abroad. The deputy chairman of the Duma Committee gave no other details. In particular, it’s not clear what it’s like to organize esports companies, who they will report to, etc.🥲 Russian developers can be left without game engines
