The Figure Skating Federation of Russia (Russian: Федерация фигурного катания на коньках России, lit. Figure Skating on Skates Federation of Russia) is the national sport governing body for figure skating in Russia. It is recognized as such by the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) and the International Skating Union (ISU). No individual membership exists, and its members are part of various regional ice sports associations. It was founded in 1992 as the successor of the Figure Skating Federation of the USSR (Soviet Union).[citation needed]
The goals of this governing body are: taking a plan of competitions by the calendar, developing a curriculum for figure skating in Russia, forming a national team, making contracts with sportsmen and coaches, international relations with other skating organizations, assistance to regional federations, organizing the Rostelecom Cup (formerly the Cup of Russia) and other important events. Since 2009, the main sponsor of the federation is Rostelecom.[1]
After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the ISU suspended the participation of athletes from Russia in international events until further notice.[2]
