How can you relate to this? If two teams of the same level were fighting, then something could be clarified. What is the point of a top team against a team that is not at the top? Therefore, I do not support what Andrei Nazarov is doing.

“Vanguard” is about provocation? When you get punched in the face, will you stand up and watch? It’s not a provocation. For some reason, this is done on purpose,” Sushinsky reportedly said. RB Sports.

The expert also suggested that Sochi try to draw attention to their team.
