Russian State Duma Deputy Sultan Khamzaev believes special services worked with Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda before he signed a decree stripping Lithuanian figure skaters Margarita Drobyazko and Povilas Vanagas of state awards.
On Wednesday, Nauseda signed a decree excluding Drobyazko and Vanagas from the list of holders of the Order of the Grand Duke of Lithuania Gediminas, 5th degree. Nauseda later said that all merits of Drobyazko and Vanagas for the country were nullified by the decision to perform in Tatiana Navka’s show in Sochi.
– It’s Russophobia. Why is this done? Not to teach two skaters a lesson, but to influence. They try through the wife of the presidential press secretary to influence more global decisions. It doesn’t work like that for us, because everything is fine.
They do it for Americans and Europeans. Now the conveyor has started. Estonians, Latvians and Poles understand to bow down to Americans because it is their money, their power and their opportunities. If they don’t, they won’t be in those positions either, others will come.
These are not political tricks, but tricks of the special services. Politicians are consulted by representatives of the special services, and after that happens, and when the president speaks, it means, believe me, someone worked with him. He has to say it, he has no other choice, ”Khamzaev said on the air of the show“ There is a theme! ” on the chain “ “.
Drobyazko and Vanagas were nominated for awards in 2000. Lithuanian Dance Couple – World Championship bronze medalists and double European Championship bronze medalists.
