“Now they are discussing why Danya Milokhin, the great Russian athlete, left the ice show. Young people are interested in this” — Zhurova

Olympic champion in speed skating Deputy of the State Duma Svetlana Zhurova talked about the popularity of media people and expressed his opinion on what should be done for patriotic education.

The research center “Romir” conducted a survey on the topic “which of the public figures of Russia do you trust the most”, in the top 10 according to young people (14-21 years old) there were only only one representative of the field of physical culture and sports – a football player Artem Dziuba (7th rank). According to the same study, 7 representatives of the sphere of physical culture and sports were in the top 100 according to all age groups: TV presenter Dmitri Guberniev (14th place), Dziuba (55), gymnast Laysan Utyasheva (57), hockey player Alexander Ovechkin (66), wrestler Khabib Nurmagomedov (75), hockey player Vladislav Tretyak (76), hockey player Vyacheslav Fetisov (91).

– It’s amazing, in this poll, Dmitry Guberniev is superior to an athlete in the results, and it is understandable why Dziuba is on this list. Scandalous and much more… An amazing thing. Now they are discussing why Danya Milokhin, the great Russian athlete, left the ice show. Young people are interested in it. It seems to me that the role of a coach is undoubtedly important in the education of an athlete. My coach instilled in me patriotism and knowledge of sports heroes. He didn’t do it according to the textbooks, he did it from the bottom of his heart. There are also coaches who continue this work, taking them to museums… I was now a member of the jury of a sports film festival – how many incredible sports films are made here… That should also go through sports schools – so that screenings are scheduled, there are recommendations on this. And this should be part of the training of athletes,” Zhurova said at the last “Community” forum as part of the public hearings on the topic “The role of sport in patriotic and moral education and strengthening unity. national”.
