Dmitry Chernyshenko: It is symbolic that a phygital center has been created at the Volga Region University, where people will develop more harmoniously in all directions

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Sports Minister Oleg Matytsin opened a physical center in Kazan, which is located in the Universiade Athletes’ Village. A TASS correspondent reports this from the scene.

Matytsin and Chernyshenko pressed the joystick button together, after which they were guided through the new phygital center.

“The phygital movement operates everywhere; representations of the movement have already been opened in 63 countries around the world,” said Chernyshenko. “It is very symbolic that a phygital center has been created at the Volga State University, where people will develop more harmoniously in all directions. Centers like this provide such an opportunity."

“First of all, I am glad that the Volga State University has become one of the venues for the Games of the Future. This is a contribution to the future. Students have the opportunity to play sports. We said that maybe other universities should also engage in sports here. Naturally, the Ministry of Sports will develop [ fidzhital] in subordinate universities,” Matytsin noted.
