Athletistic / Swimming. Three-time Olympic swimming medalist Yulia Efimova, who returned to Russia from the United States, spoke about tensions in America. According to Efimova, due to the political situation in the United States, she faced unpleasant questions.

“Now everyone there is Russian and Ukrainian, when you walk along the embankment you feel like you’re in Moscow.

But in reality it happens differently. It was difficult, even for the reason that everyone wonders: everyone wants to express their opinion, to know mine. There was some tension, so I wanted to go back and relax – at least here I don’t get asked where my accent comes from and what I think. It’s easier here in that regard. But at the same time, there are normal, adequate and understanding people there who appreciate you as a person,” Efimova is quoted as saying by TASS.
