“What should she think of our work?” To see something, you need to press a button, read it” – Valuev about Tarasova’s lyrics

Former world boxing champion, deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Nikolai Valuev responded to the words of the honored coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova on the work of athletes in the State Duma.

Earlier, Tarasova, in a conversation with Sport24, said that she does not feel the work of athletes in the State Duma.

—What should she think of our work? She didn’t reveal the details of the sensation, I would like to understand what to do to feel it.

— Maybe she wants to specifically experience your work in sports.

– How? People are different, everyone has different feelings. If I understood his feelings, I would understand how to react.

— At different times, different people criticized former athletes in the State Duma. Some were against athletes in such positions.

– How is this justified?

— The opinion that to work in the State Duma you need education and certain knowledge.

— Former athletes who work in the Duma, without education? I don’t know anyone like that. You know, we have soldiers, doctors, what should we do with them? They have also spent more than half their lives holding positions in their profession. Didn’t they have time to study either? What to do about it? Maybe Tarasova will answer this question.

— Is it possible to ensure that people like Tatiana Tarasova see specifically what you, Irina Rodnina, Svetlana Zhurova are doing for sport?

“There are many athletes, some well deserved, and it’s impossible to get them all in one place to do some sort of presentation. Every person has Internet resources for finding information, including on the State Duma website. There are initiatives, areas of work, specific cases, all of this is published. Politics is the domain of public activity. To see something, you need to press a button on a laptop, computer, read and feel something based on the results of what you see,” Valuev told .
