“Tutberidze said: “Why do you need this, sometimes you can keep silent?” — choreographer Zheleznyakov

Choreographer Alexey Zheleznyakov said in an interview with that Eteri Tutberidze advised him not to speak out often in the media.

Zheleznyakov collaborated with Tutberidze throughout his career in Russia and left the team in November.

— Were there any restrictions from headquarters regarding the accumulation of tasks?

— We had a conversation about this with Eteri Georgievna. I explained that I could not stay in one place with one salary and at the same time provide for the entire family. As a man, I must earn a decent living. There was no prohibition from the coach, she understood me.

— You spoke clearly on various subjects. Have there been any complaints about this?

“We discussed this moment, Tutberidze said: “Why do you need this, sometimes you can keep silent?” Sometimes, due to his strong sense of justice, he could say certain things that could have passed unnoticed. I’m the kind of person who can tell the truth, but many people don’t like it and start to hate me. If I give an interview, I do it directly and honestly, I don’t like to worry , procrastinate or be hypocritical. Eteri Georgievna is different – she doesn’t like to talk too much or talk about anything.

—A strong sense of justice has accompanied you since your childhood? This often occurs in people, but disappears due to life experiences and certain situations.

“I’m not looking for justice.” If they ask, I speak directly. Yes, you are right, it comes from childhood, I remember how in kindergarten I fought with a boy because he offended a girl. For this, the teacher put me in a corner. Yes, I am for justice and truth.

— Isn’t it easier to suit everyone?

— Ultimately, those who are comfortable are not valued or respected. I have always walked independently since I left my parents. I saw many people bending down and crawling on all fours; they were used, but not respected. If I had always tried to be comfortable, I would not have become the Zheleznyakov that many in the sports world know. If you don’t have that kind of character, you can’t succeed.

— There were statements in which you went too far and you yourself understand this?

“I’m impulsive, sometimes I say something, and then you think: what’s going on? This is a trait of creative people. Unfortunately, it happens. “I admit it,” Zheleznyakov told .
