Today marks the 102nd anniversary of volleyball in Russia. Congratulations on this significant event to all those involved in the best ball game — players, coaches, referees, senior staff, volleyball veterans, fans! I wish you good health and bright victories!
The official birthday of Russian volleyball is considered to be July 28, 1923, when an amateur match was held in Moscow on Myasnitskaya Street – between volleyball players from the Higher Art and Technical Workshops (now the Moscow Architectural Institute) and the Moscow School of Cinematography (today the All-Russian State Institute of Cinematography named after S.A. Gerasimov).
Nowadays, volleyball is one of the most successful sports in Russia in terms of the performance of club and national teams on the international stage.
Happy holidays, friends!
