Zheleznyakov: “Duhamel’s statements have long been marked by a kind of racism. She’s an ardent Russophobe.”

Choreographer Alexey Zheleznyakov told that the Canadian figure skater’s statements Mégane Duhamel look like racists, and she herself is an ardent Russophobe.

Duhamel, commenting on the transfer of Russian Sofia Samodelkina to Kazakhstan, said the ISU should prevent Russians from moving to other countries if they do not train there. According to her, otherwise they “continue to support the state program in Russia.”

— In general, I do not appreciate the change in sporting citizenship of our athletes, especially if it concerns countries that are hostile to us. Now is not the right time for this.

But Duhamel’s statements have long been marked by a certain form of racism. Don’t give us bread, let’s bite our athletes. I realized a long time ago that she was an ardent Russophobe. It seems that he is very afraid of our athletes. It’s a pitiful picture in general,” Zheleznyakov told .
