– I am generally amazed at the extent of the Russophobia that has engulfed Europe and North America. At the same time, Russia is in contact with the Middle and Far East, Africa, South America, and nowhere else is there anything like it. But in Europe, people seem to faint immediately when they hear about Russia!
I don’t understand this hatred. You remember the story – Russia never attacked Europe. All we do is fight the aggressors. Either Poles, then Swedes, French, Germans… And this hatred goes on all fronts, including sports. We’re going to cut it here, we won’t let it in here, we’ll limit it there… The only exception is the United States. There, when it comes to trade, we immediately want to spit on Russophobia. This mainly applies to the NHL. As soon as it comes to money, in America they immediately forget about Russophobia,” Mayorov told .
