Russian Federation participated at the I European Games, which took place in Baku, Azerbaijan from 12 to 28 June 2015.[1] Russia sent athletes for every sport except athletics, as the level of Russian athletes was too high, according to Russia's Minister of Sports Vitaly Mutko. Russia still had the largest team at the Games, with the athletics programme consisting of only one event.[2] Russia finished in the first place on the medal rankings, winning 79 gold medals.
