— Did you consult Shamil Tarpishchev about the organization of the tournament and the actions of the federation?
— We communicate regularly with Alexei Selivanenko, less often with Shamil Tarpishchev. We often communicate with Polina Yumasheva, a member of the board of the federation. We are on good terms, it is a close world, “Sorokin told .
