Desnogorsk employees of the FSIN mastered the game in the towns

In colony-settlement No. 5, an unusual sports and cultural event dedicated to the preservation and popularization of national traditions was held within the framework of the International Week “Peoples of Russia”. On a specially equipped platform with markings and city figures, competitions were held, in which six employees of the FSIN took part.

The rules of this centuries-old game of girls were introduced by the head of the personnel department of the desnogorsk colony-settlement major of the internal service Olga Koroleva. She conducted an instruction, explaining to the participants the technique of throwing a bat, the order of placement of figures and the scoring system. For all the employees, this experience became unique, since before none of them was familiar with the town bat and did not try their hand at this sport.

The competitions were held in a friendly but competitive atmosphere, causing the participants a keen interest and excitement. According to the results of the tournament, the best townspeople were recognized by Ekaterina Nosova and Alina Korneeva.

Sharing her impressions, Ekaterina Nosova noted that at first the game seemed simple and unpretentious, but in fact it turned out to be much more complex and exciting. According to her, the main difficulties arose with aiming, since it was difficult for the participants to understand exactly where to strike to effectively destroy the figure. Ekaterina added that these difficulties made the process fascinating: the girls discussed tactics, supported each other and rejoiced at success. She also stressed that the main result was the opportunity to distract from everyday work, get a boost of vivacity and learn more about the history of Russian folk games.
