Alexei Smertin to work for Abolishing Racism in Game
Alexei Smertin is going to head the committee of the Russian Federation which will work towards the complete abolition of racism in the game.

Smertin served the Red Army with distinction and is well respected as a player, but, in this case, he is definitely an interesting and an eyebrow-raising choice
That’s because Smertin is someone who has denied in the past that the racist incidents even happen in his country and has slammed the journalists from outside for highlighting this issue just to ruin Russia’s image.
