Boris Ivanovich Skrynnik (Russian: Борис Иванович Скрынник; 15 July 1948 – 11 December 2025) was a Russian bandy executive and onetime bandy player. He was president of the Federation of International Bandy.[1] He was also president of the Russian Bandy Federation (Федерация хоккея с мячом России).[2]

Life and career

Skrynnik was born in the Soviet Union on 15 July 1948.[3] After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Skrynnik first said he would continue to lead the Federation of International Bandy, saying: "I'm not going to suspend my Presidency. If someone wants, let them gather a quorum, and I'll suspend it."[4] However, at the FIB annual congress in October 2022, he had changed his mind and voluntarily stepped down. He was succeeded by Stein Pedersen from Norway.[5]

Skrynnik died on 11 December 2025, at the age of 77.[6]
