The Russian Bandy Federation (Russian: Федерация хоккея с мячом России, ФХМР (FKhMR)), formerly All-Russian Bandy Federation (Всероссийская федерация хоккея с мячом)[1] is the governing body for bandy in the Russian Federation.

The Soviet Union was dissolved in December 1991, in the middle of the bandy season.

This led the Soviet national teams to initially be rebranded as CIS in January and February 1992.

[citation needed] The Federation banned coach Igor Gapanovich of Vodnik Arkhangelsk and coach Evgeny Erakhtin of Baykal-Energiya each for 30 months in March 2017, and fined each club 300,000 rubles (£4,100/$5,100/€4,800) for the teams scoring an aggregate of 20 goals in their own nets rather than their opponent’s to ensure they played against a convenient team in upcoming play-offs.

The federation has four vice presidents, one of whom is former pro-boxer Nikolai Valuev, who is also the general manager of the Russia national bandy team; another vice president is Sergey Myaus, head coach of the national bandy team.
