For a whole year and a half the head of the Kingdom of North Barchant hesitated to introduce a new person to the post. The loss of our beloved Evgeny Sveshnikov was too big and intolerably painful. The Grandmaster had represented our virtual state since its foundation. His passing caused real grief for the entire Kingdom. 

But time passes, and the memory will live forever! 🤍 We move on. In honour of Evgeny's blessed memory and with great pride, we would like to inform you that Evgeny's eldest son, International Master Vladimir Sveshnikov, has become Minister of Sport of the Kingdom of North Barchant!

👏 Thank you for the honour and for your willingness to continue your father's cause not only in the game you love, but also in our community! Queen Anna Macco and the current ministers wish you wise decisions, sporting achievements and success in all your endeavours!
