FIFA has decided to remove Zabivaka from the video presentation of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, because this mascot will bring back fond memories of the 2018 tournament in Russia, says State Duma deputy, Olympic champion Svetlana Zhurova .
According to Deputy General Producer of Vasily Konov on the Telegram channel, Zabivak’s wolf was removed from the promotional video for the 2022 World Cup. The Russian mascot was removed by the video contractor at the request of FIFA .
– If Tchaikovsky, Pushkin and Dostoyevsky are already cancelled, then Zabivaka is even more so.
The world championship in Russia was simply magnificent, successful, everyone praised the organization of the tournament. Everyone said it was one of the best leagues in history. Therefore, now any good mention of our tournament is considered, apparently, inappropriate. And talismans evoke positive and warm memories. And in this regard, of course, people do not now need to remember anything positive related to Russia and the World Cup in our country. Therefore, they try to destroy it, ban it, suppress it. This decision is simply absurd! Zhurova told .
The World Cup in Qatar will take place from November 21 to December 18.
