Ilsur Metshin reminded that the republican leadership, headed by the first President Mintimer Shaimiev and current Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov, played active roles in the preparation and delivery of the Summer Universiade. Russian President Vladimir Putin made ​​great efforts to turn the Kazan Universiade into a high-profile international event. "The list of those who contributed to the Games is endless ... The victory was 'forged' with the hands of thousands of people - construction companies, city improvement enterprises and transportation providers, cultural, healthcare and sports institutions, law enforcement and intelligence agencies, volunteers and regular citizens of Kazan. It is important that all of us were one team. By handing these commendations to you, I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the preparation," the Mayor said. He also added that federal awards are also expected to be presented any time soon.
