A week ago Sport published the first half of the conversation with the head of Russian skiing. In the second part of the interview, you will learn Elena Vyalbe's opinion about the situation with Ukraine, the possible «relocation» of Russian sports, LGBT propaganda and puppets from Europe in the hands of the United States.
About Russia's prospects in Asia
«Winter» has nothing to do there. Still, I would like to have strong competition. Apart from short track, freestyle, snowboarding and a couple of skaters, there is no one there. In skiing, in general, only one athlete performed well at the Olympic Games. A drop in the ocean, a grain of sand that no one sees. Asia will not help us in any way in competition. However, we cooperate, we invite. With the same Iran, Mongolia, China. Iran says: «Yes, we are ready, but we don't have a single skier.» China has just opened. We will go there, compete and prepare at the height.Yes, our coaches were there. Everyone's contracts ended, no one was renewed. I don't know the reason, I don't interfere with it. There is no one now, everyone is back.
Regarding China, this is now such a vector. What does «unite» mean? Have we ever been on the warpath with them? Never. We have always lived peacefully, there are serious projects in many areas. Let's unite a little more in sports, everyone will benefit from this. They have mountains, bases. They kept saying: «As soon as we open, come.»
About the stupidities of the «collective West»
It's funny from this «collective West». Politicians are against it, but ordinary people are not against Russia. They seem to know more about history. The leaders of the «collective West» do not understand anything about it, therefore their countries have no future, this is 100%. It's like starting from scratch, which is dangerous. I don't think they know geography either. Because the number of people against and for us is not funny at all!They closed the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) and are still threatening the priests who served there, the abbots of temples and churches. And all this is supported by the «collective West»! Well, then, guys, you will all go far.Sooner or later, the «collective West» will begin to think and consider that there are not a billion people on Earth. Everyone else is us and those who communicate with us. Well, maybe India is not so close friends, although it does not break off relations. It is unlikely that they will say that if Vladimir Vladimirovich arrives now, he will be arrested! Can't imagine funny people! (laughs)
If you now put 100 Americans, ordinary people who live in different states and ask to show Ukraine on a map, 99 people will definitely say: «I'm hearing for the first time, what is this all about?» Of these, 50% will not know where Russia is. This is probably normal, because they do not need such information. They in America can not leave the country anywhere. Go skiing — go to Alaska, for example. They live in their own world — «the United States of America». It's their business. In general, whether it is the USA, Germany, France or any other country, simple people treat Russia well.
About useless rallies in Europe
I look at France, for example. I think poor Paris! Does it still exist, the city that I first saw 35 years ago? I think no. There is always someone walking and protesting. They beat, burn, but did not achieve anything! From this, too, there is a certain fatigue. People stop doing this, they realize that everything is just a waste of time, energy, and not particularly safe.
