Dmitry Nikolayevich Chernyshenko (Russian: Дмитрий Николаевич Чернышенко; born 20 September 1968) is a Russian businessman and politician serving as Deputy Prime Minister of Russia for Tourism, Sport, Culture and Communications since 2020. Previously he was the President of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Organizing Committee for the 2014 Winter Olympics which were held in Sochi, Russia.[1]
Since 27 November 2014, Chernyshenko has been the President of Kontinental Hockey League, replacing Alexander Medvedev.[2] In addition he was appointed as Board Chairman of Gazprom-Media in December 2014.[3] Member of the Supervisory Board of Sberbank of Russia (2020–21).[4]
He was removed from the IOC Coordination Commission Beijing 2022 by the International Olympic Committee, due to his involvement in the Russian doping scandal.[5]
In 2014, Chernyshenko was awarded the Olympic Order and the Paralympic Order.[6] He was stripped of the orders, however, on 28 February and 2 March 2022 respectively due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.[7][8] He said: "Our country has always adhered to the principle that sport is beyond politics, but we are constantly drawn into the politics, because they understand the importance of sport in the lives of our Russian people."[9]
In 2019, Chernyshenko entered the list of the 500 most influential business leaders in media industry for a second year in a row – Variety500 (it is compiled annually by the American magazine Variety).[10]
