MOSCOW, 7 Oct. The 1988 Olympic champion in the USSR national football team Yevgeny Kuznetsov, who has been living and working as a coach in Sweden since 1990, complained about the low salary after taxes. «There is a huge spread in salaries here, as in Russia. Even there is a big difference between the average and the minimum. And taxes — from 33 percent. Someone gets 10 thousand dollars a month, someone — 150,000. I have two thousand. 600 of them you will pay for an apartment, 500 for a car, gasoline — and almost nothing left,” admitted Kuznetsov in an interview with “Championship”. According to the ex-footballer, one trip to the store costs at least $ 50. «And gasoline is terribly expensive here. What other problems? For example, the school. There are few teachers. Officials say: there is no money. The global problem is medicine. Everyone thinks: she is here at the highest level. But if you are able to stand on your feet, do not die right now, you can wait a month or two until the doctor sees you. There are not enough qualified personnel. More precisely, there are specialists, but they are not hired, because the profession of a doctor implies a high salary,» Kuznetsov said. In addition to the gold medals of the 1988 Olympics, Kuznetsov won the USSR championship twice (1987, 1989) as part of the Moscow «Spartak». As a coach, he led Esther to victory in the Swedish Cup.
