Ministry of Youth and Sports (Ukraine)
Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Міністерство молоді та спорту України, romanized: Ministerstvo molodi ta sportu Ukrayiny) is a government of Ukraine ministry established on 6 June 1991 after reorganization of the Soviet State Committee of the Ukrainian SSR in affairs of youth and sports.It was reestablished again in 2013 by splitting away from the Ministry of Education and Science where it existed as its subdepartment in 2010–2013.In 2000 the two agencies were merged again along with the state committee of tourism for less than a year.In 2010 the Government of Ukraine led by Party of Regions in populistic way arrogantly announced about reorganization of its hierarchy making the newly elected President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych a big reformist when the consolidated ministry was merged again with the Ministry of Education and Science for the next three years, while agency for sports was degraded to the state service of youth and sports.In December 2001 a committee chairman Maria Bulatova in interview to Mirror Weekly explained that since the independence of Ukraine, the provision for the state institution was de facto copy-pasted from similar institution of the Ukrainian SSR and without even considering the fact that its development strategy was forming out of Moscow by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and State Committee of Sport of the Soviet Union.
