Russian President Putin has predicted the creation of parallel structures in the sphere of international sports, provoking derisive comments from his compatriots. In addition, the Kremlin chief said of the politicization and degradation of international sports structures.

"Unfortunately, as a result of politicization of international sports structures and further commercialization of the international Olympic movement, unfortunately, we see a certain degradation coming there, but this will inevitably simply, certainly entail the creation of parallel structures in the sphere of international sports," Putin said during a meeting with members of the government.

Fans could not contain their emotions, hounding their leader.

"Someone has long had degradation: honor, conscience and intelligence", "Yes he lives in a parallel world of his own", - wrote the Russians.

Fans are convinced that Putin had better pay attention to his country.

Users cite the CIS Games II as a failure of the "parallel structure" created.

"And we already see these parallel structures - the CIS Games. They create a huge threat to the image and popularity of the Olympic Games and World Championships," the comments quipped.
