According to the portal 'Glavkom', former football player from Russia Vladimir Granat found himself in the database of the 'Peacemaker' website. The site indicates that Granat publicly supported Russian aggression and the killings of Ukrainian citizens.
Public gesture of support
During the halftime of the Russian Cup match between the teams 'Shumbraat' and 'Crystal-MEZT' on August 5 this year, Vladimir Granat handed a check for 1 million rubles to a representative of the Mordovian branch of the 'Peace Fund'. This money was directed to the Mordovia team of adaptive football, which included participants of the Russian invasion of Ukraine who became disabled.
Additionally, it is worth noting that this action was initiated by a Russian betting company.
Statement from a freestyler from Russia
Freestyler from Russia Anastasia Tatalina appealed to the International Ski Federation and Snowboarding (FIS) to be allowed to participate in the 2026 Olympic Games.
'I represent Russia, and I was proud when the President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich (Putin) sent me a telegram after winning the World Championship,' Tatalina stated in April 2022.
It is also important to note that Tatalina is a member of the Russian military club CSKA, which has a direct connection to Russia's military activities in aggressive actions against Ukraine. She has also expressed support for the slogan 'we do not abandon our own,' related to the Russian military.
As a result, information about various cases of support for aggressive actions and military actions in which athletes participated raises outrage and discussion in the sports world.
