27-year-old Russian footballer Mark Kryloregh, who plays for the sixth league club 'Moyete', said that half of the Spaniards support Russian President Vladimir Putin, mentioning: 'How do they feel about Putin? It varies. Some respect him. Older people understand his actions and do not condemn.'

Mark Kryloregh also added: 'In general, I try not to talk to them about politics. It’s the perfect compromise.' It should be noted that Russian freestyler Anastasia Tatalina appealed to the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) asking to allow her to participate in the 2026 Olympic Games.
'I represent Russia, and I was very proud when the President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich (Putin) sent me a telegram after winning the World Championship,' she stated in April 2022.
During the interview, the footballer shares his observations about the local population's attitude towards the Russian president, emphasizing that opinions on this matter are divided. At the same time, he avoided political discussions, aiming to maintain sporting spirit and avoid conflict situations. The variety of views on politics reflects the peculiarities of the cultural and historical heritage between Russia and Spain.
