Behind the camera from day one
Most of the photographs on this site are Igor’s. From our first day, he has helped run events and photographed the people taking part. He also took the two photographs of head coach Nikita at football practice, one during the warm-up and one as he demonstrates ball control.
Volunteering in Israel
Long before joining our association, Igor volunteered with several organisations in Israel to help older people and people with disabilities who needed support.
Regional projects in the Urals
In Yekaterinburg, Igor was known as Igor Grom. He worked on social and cultural projects across the region, collaborated with the comedy troupe Uralskiye Pelmeni and served as a volunteer aide to mayor Yevgeny Roizman.
Two days on the Chusovaya
In June 2011 Igor joined the support crew for a two-day trip down the Chusovaya River. Two paddlers who used wheelchairs took part. Their chairs were secured to an adapted catamaran so they could paddle with the rest of the crew. Expedition leader Anatoly Vyazovtsev described the trip in Uralsky Sledopyt.
Community work in Yekaterinburg
Igor has been involved in disability inclusion for many years. In May 2014 he took part in the Maysky Ekstrim festival, where wheelchair users from across the Sverdlovsk region met for outdoor sports. In August that year, when a resident of Pokrovskoye needed replacement prosthetic legs, Igor visited a prosthetics manufacturer to find out how the resident could obtain them.
