Club championship of the CIS countries.

Okay, let's get serious.
I have a suggestion for the organizers: draw up detailed budgets for the event. The more detailed, the better. How much will it cost to travel from different locations, how much for food and accommodation, and how much for playing. Let's compare the options for Michurinsk, Kyiv, and Yekaterinburg and see what is more realistic.

And a democratic choice of venue, which results in 6 out of 16 participants being roughly excluded due to financial constraints, is also a kind of circus.
