27-year-old footballer Mark Kryvoroh, who plays for the sixth league club 'Moete' in Spain, expressed his distrustful attitude towards life in Spain. According to the athlete, there are too many migrants from Africa and Morocco in Catalonia, who, in his opinion, cause negative situations. Kryvoroh complained that he was robbed a month after his arrival when he went out for dinner.
«Before the phone theft, I could go to the beach completely alone, leave my things, and go swimming. Now it is not the case, I carefully watch my belongings,» the footballer stated.
After this incident, Kryvoroh became more cautious and does not leave his belongings unattended. He also emphasizes his belonging to the Russian club CSKA, but openly criticizes the newcomers.
Russian freestyler appeals to FIS
In the sports world, another Russian athlete is also noted - freestyler Anastasia Tatalina from CSKA. She has submitted an application to the International Ski Federation and Snowboarding requesting to allow her to compete in the 2026 Olympic Games.
«I represent Russia, and I was thrilled when the President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich (Putin) sent me a telegram after winning the World Championship,» Tatalina said last year.
Another manifestation of her patriotism was liking a post with the military slogan «we do not abandon our own.» Thus, Russian athletes continue to actively perform in both sports arenas and in political life.
Representatives of Russian sports in recent years have shown an active civic position on social issues and a willingness to address international sports organizations with requests and statements. They continue to actively perform on various stages and defend their views.
