Alexey Mishin compared Semenenko’s life to a science fiction novel

Honored Coach of the USSR in Figure Skating Alexei Mishin suggested where an analogy can be found with the state that is now inherent in Yevgeny Semenenko .

– Where would you find an analogy with the state that is now inherent in Zhenya Semenenko? Do you know the science fiction novel Professor Dowell’s Head? Perhaps the best science fiction novel of the era of Soviet literature. Zhenya’s life is now largely connected with medicine. I perceive it as a head on a glass stand, which cannot speak, but communicates with others through the facial expressions of the eyes. Everything else is dipped into some kind of solution that keeps the head alive. And according to the mimic signals of his eyes, I add something to this solution. And the head beeps: “I don’t have time, we acid fast!” And now quickly the patterns! So add salt!”

And a series of serious injuries. A serious concussion during a show in Saint Petersburg, the outcome of which could be deplorable not only for figure skating, but for normal life in general, a tear in the ligaments of the knee during a show in Courchevel, a recurrence of this injury in the final position on the trial skates, a hidden covid on the eve of the show jumping tournament… Here is the situation in which Professor Dowell’s head ended up in the hands of Professor Mishin , his wife and choreographer Tatyana Prokofieva on the eve of the Russian championship, Mishin quotes “Championship”.
