Heavy weights Alexei Oleinik who obtained Russian citizenship in 2014, explained how the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is covered in the United States.
– It happens even in stores, they ask where we are from, and my wife and I laugh, she says: “He is from Ukraine, I am from Russia.” People are freaking out. That’s when I say, “You don’t have quite the right information here.” I lived there for 30 years, I tell you, I see how something changes in people’s minds later. In American Top Team, I explained to a lot of guys what was going on. He explained that many mass media are state-controlled, both in Ukraine and in Europe. That there is biased information. The accent of the world now is such that you have to blame Russia for everything, without understanding what and how.
– Where do you get your information?
— I communicate a lot with people. And with everyone. And with those who live in Russia, and in Ukraine, in America, with Ukrainians who live in Europe, with Russians who live in Europe or in other countries. I communicate with people who live in favorable conditions and in disadvantaged ones. In Kharkov, Kyiv and Donbass. I communicate with those sitting in bomb shelters, I get videos and photos,” the fighter told .
Oleinik’s next fight is on October 1, against former light heavyweight who moved up to heavyweight, Ilir Latifi.
