Comment
Funds totaling 90.6 million rubles will be allocated to 26 regions that applied for subsidies in 2025. These include the Republics of Buryatia and Yakutia; the Trans-Baikal, Kamchatka, Primorsky, and Khabarovsk Krais; the Amur, Belgorod, Bryansk, Vladimir, Voronezh, Ivanovo, Kaluga, Kostroma, Kursk, Lipetsk, Moscow, Oryol, Ryazan, Smolensk, Tambov, Tver, Tula, Yaroslavl, and Jewish Autonomous Oblasts; and the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. By the end of the year, these regions are expected to recruit approximately 80 specialists.
Under the program, physical education and sports workers relocating to communities with populations of up to 50,000 will receive one-time compensation payments. For communities located in the Far East, the one-time payment will be 2 million rubles. For other regions, the one-time payment will be 1 million rubles.
State support will be available to specialists with higher or secondary vocational education. To qualify, they must sign a full-time employment contract with a physical education and sports organization, committing to work there for at least five years.
Speaking about the decision taken at a meeting with deputy prime ministers on October 20Mikhail Mishustin noted that it is important for qualified specialists to be present in sports organizations in small towns and for children to train under their guidance.
"This will help them improve their health and, perhaps, reach a professional level, prove themselves in high-performance sports, and become champions," the prime minister added.
The head of state instructed the government to take measures to implement the "Zemsky Trainer" program following a meeting of the Presidential Council for the Development of Physical Culture and Sports in 2024. The program will be launched in all regions of Russia starting in 2026.
