Reasons
He represents russia in the International Esports Federation (IESF). Smith's responsibilities include strategic management of the russian Federation of Computer Sports (FCS), interaction with government authorities and partners, and supervision of national-level competitions.
Taking advantage of the regulatory unregulated position of international esports tournaments in terms of their organization, broadcasting, and financing, russia is trying to occupy the esports niche to legalize russia's presence and promote its narratives and exert influence in the international arena, including through the FCS.
The FCS has received the support of putin, who at the 2023 Eastern Economic Forum asked state-owned IT companies to pay attention to esports and support it. In return, the FCC complies with all the orders of the president of the russian federation, in particular, it monitors information in video games for compliance with the laws of the russian federation.
In July 2023, the FCS, under Smith's leadership, initiated the creation of special military companies for esportsmen who could join the russian armed forces as operators of UAVs and other sophisticated combat systems to participate in the war against Ukraine.
In May 2024, the FCS announced that russian esports players would not participate in the World Cup qualifiers due to the ban on using the country's flag.
The FCS under Smith's leadership operates, among other things, in the temporarily occupied Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine.
