It is necessary to stop the hatred.
Something unimaginable is going on in our sport. It seems to me that people who are not satisfied with their own lives are engaged in this “splashing” of figure skating in various media and social networks.
I have given two comments recently. I wished Alina Zagitova happiness and good luck, said that she will have different stages in her life. Once she was a child, then she became a teenager, a young lady, and she will become a wife, mother, grandmother. So all of this was translated in a wrong way, even perverted. They said that Mishin is crazy: he is an old man himself and that Alina is an old woman as well.
Then I spoke about doping, about the Olympic Games. Unfortunately, some of our athletes won’t be allowed to compete there. And athletes can find out about it in a very last moment, on the day of their departure to the Games or already on the Olympic territory. So I said that for such athletes, who aimed their lives at achieving a high results in sports, it is necessary to organize some kind of competition here in Russia. And they wrote that Mishin wants to hold an alternative Olympics, in which only Russia, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Zimbabwe will take part in.
When will people improve their self-esteem? When will they learn to speak humanly and tactfully. They ask me to comment on the verbal battles of the Entente and the Triple Alliance. Different statements were made by Tatiana Tarasova, Zhenya Plushenko and Eteri Tutberidze’s coaching team. I don’t want to interfere in this. People play ping pong with balls of chocolate jam. The fewer people comment, the faster things calm down, the healthier our sport will be. Already brutalized by anger. I want to wish those who are involved in all this: engage in self-cleaning, then figure skating will be cleaner.

Come on. Surely Rukavicin, Buianova or Chebotareva can weigh in? They all have female skaters who are being left behind. Panova doesn't have any senior skaters, but surely she has something to say?
