Galina Strutinskaya Become European Senior Champion
Kuznetsova and Mednikova also win medals.
The European Senior Championships ended in Yerevan.

Lyubov Kuznetsova took silver in the 65+ category, and Svetlana Mednikova won bronze in the 50+ group.
Russian Chess Federation congratulates our sportsmen and wishes them new victories!
