Skrynnik was born in the
Soviet Union on 15 July 1948. 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." 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. Skrynnik died on 11 December 2025, at the age of 77. ==References==
