The Olympic Special Operations is a target cheerleading group in PyeongChang for Russian sportsmen, which is still working. Its participants wear blue scarfs and warm ear-caps of the same colour, TASS reports. They are chanting cheerful rhymes in Russian, waving Russian flags and singing Katyusha with only a slight accent, so to say.

The Ruling democratic party Toburo headed by chairman of the Research Institute of Democratic Processes Seok Min Kim is organizing the project.

150 young people entered this cheerleading group. The majority of them are students interested in subjects related to our country. Some of them visited Russia as tourists. Kim Min Seok has noted that there were many requests for participation and they had to make a selection and generate additional places. He has added that it is highly desirable that Russian sportsmen felt loved and felt themselves at home here.

Note that the cheerleaders met Russians at the airport. Students of Russian Studies’ Departments of Sogang University as well as teachers of the Russian language faculties of this and other universities took active part in the cheerleading campaign. Korean students prepared a greeting message on banners in the Russian language for the Russian sports team.
