Lithuanian authorities decided to deprive Drobyazko of his citizenship. The complaints against the ex-skater arose because she and her husband Povilas Vanagas were performing in Tatiana Navka’s ice shows in Russia.
Drobiazko is a 13-time Lithuanian champion in ice dancing and a bronze medalist at the 2000 World Championships. The athlete was born in Russia, but competed for Lithuania
“Lithuania does very strange and inconsistent things towards its citizens. Drobyazko glorified Lithuanian figure skating, having citizenship of this country.
Zhurova reacted to the deprivation of Lithuanian citizenship of figure skater Drobyazko
I don’t remember that any Lithuanian citizen, except for her husband, made a contribution to world figure skating. And instead of being proud of such a wonderful athlete, Lithuanians get involved in politics.
What did this man do to them? If they say that Lithuania is a free and democratic country, then the decision to revoke citizenship is very strange. These are fascist actions based on nationality and worldview.
I was impressed when Margarita said yesterday that she would not sell or betray her homeland. I am grateful to him for these words.
She was born in Moscow, I don’t understand what the Lithuanian president and deputies expect from her. Despite the fact that she was loyal and respectful to the country,” Match TV quotes Svishchev.
