In 2000, Bystrov was the vice coordinator of Putin's election campaign in Tver Oblast, from 2001 to 2004 he was Vice Minister of Labour and Social Development, from 2004 on he has worked in various functions in the Ministry of Transport and has been in charge of the infrastructure and logistics department for the Olympic Games in Sochi.[1] He was replaced between December 2016 and 2020 by Pyotr Ivanov, and he in turn by Kseniya Shoygu, daughter of Russian defense minister Sergey Shoygu, in 2020.[2][3]
After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, World Triathlon suspended Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials in its international competitions and official events.[4] Europe Triathlon said that it strongly supported the decision of the International Olympic Committee and World Triathlon to exclude Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials from European sporting events, and to not organise international events in Russia or Belarus.[5]
