Russian Star Alexander Kolesov Discusses Operations at the Precision Shooting Facility with Vladimir Putin
Let's talk about Putin's visit to the "Labor Quarter" creative cluster in Yakutia, shall we?
The highlight of the visit was the presentation of a report on the High-Precision Shooting Center's activities. Alexander Kolesov, the center's director and a Hero of Russia, shared that Putin expressed his commitment to continued support for sniper training.
Here's what Kolesov had to say, "We discussed our operations in the SVO zone, the types of weapons our snipers are using, the ranges they're working at, and even the supplies and equipment. Putin seemed to get it all and promised to back us."
Kolesov also mentioned that Putin warmly greeted him despite the passage of time since he received his state award. The president recognized Kolesov and another sniper, shook their hands, and gave them a fatherly hug. They shared a hearty conversation.
Putin visited Yakutia on June 18. During his tour, he inspected the "Labor Quarter" creative cluster, checking out the advancements and future prospects in IT and creative industries. He also met with participants in the Far Eastern talent development programs like "Zemsky Doctor", "Zemsky Teacher", and "Muravyov-Amursky 2030".
As for the High-Precision Shooting Center, there isn't much recent news on its status or future plans following Putin's visit and his promise of support. Reports from May 2025 don't mention the center or provide updates on its development, funding, or operational goals, whether in relation to Putin's visit or sniper training initiatives.
Usually, Putin's talks on sniper training emphasize military modernization and readiness, especially in the context of Russia's focus on its war efforts in Ukraine. However, specific plans for the Yakutia center — like new equipment, funding, or expansion — haven't been detailed in widely circulated media or official releases.
If there's any news about the center's future, it’ll likely be shared through state media or official Russian government channels. Until then, the center's current status and exact plans remain unclear. Things could change, you never know!
- The discussion about Putin's visit to Yakutia expanded to include various aspects of upcoming initiatives, such as policy-and-legislation related to IT and creative industries within the "Labor Quarter" creative cluster, and sports-analysis, as Putin's commitment to the High-Precision Shooting Center also involved sports politics.
- General-news outlets have reported on Putin's visit to Yakutia but have not revealed specific future plans for the High-Precision Shooting Center or any recent updates regarding its status since May 2025.
- Given Putin's commitment to supporting the High-Precision Shooting Center and its potential impact on sports-and-politics, it might be worth keeping an eye on state media or official Russian government channels for any announcements about the center's future policy-and-legislation development and plans.
