Since the discussion has taken this turn, and I've already expressed my opinion in the thread, I feel it's necessary to share my perspective.
Honestly, the news about the potential event in Korolev is a pleasant surprise, giving hope for participation in a CIS tournament after a long break (since Krasnodar 2003).
As Vic mentioned a few posts above, I promised to get involved, and I do intend to, but I want to clarify upfront to avoid any unrealistic expectations or negative feelings towards me.
Since I work in Korolev four days a week and live 15 minutes away, I'm willing to help with organizational matters or take them on, and I can go to negotiations myself or with someone, with the venue management, even tomorrow. But please understand, I'm not willing to lose 20-30k.
