Director of BC Dynamo (Kursk) Vladimir Kaukin died

Yesterday at the 59th year of his life, the executive director of Dynamo Kursk, Vladimir Kaukin, died suddenly. This was reported by the official websites of the basketball club and the RFB.

The name of Vladimir Markovich is known far beyond the borders of Kursk, where he worked for the benefit of national basketball for many years. The women's basketball club Dynamo is his brainchild, in which he put his soul and where he continued to work until the last day of his life.

It is with the work of Kaukin that the rise of Dynamo Kursk to the leading positions in Russian and European basketball is connected. Since taking over as CEO in 2004, the team has gone through major personnel changes that have had a fairly quick and positive impact on results.

With the direct participation of Vladimir Markovich, the SDYUSSHOR in basketball appeared in Kursk, and the professional club each season took higher lines in the standings, having won the European Cup in the 2011/12 season.

The level of activity of Vladimir Kaukin is also evidenced by the fact that four players of the white-blue were included in the extended list of the Russian women's team, which is led by the head coach of the Kursk players – Alfredas Vainauskas.

The editors of DDD express their condolences to the family and friends of Vladimir Markovich.
