Former Vice-President of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) and Head of the Moscow Region Biathlon Federation Alexei Nuzhdov in an interview with , he spoke about his attitude to the criticism of the four-time Olympic champion Alexandra Tikhonov.
In mid-October, Nuzhdov lost to Viktor Maigurov in the election of RBU President. Tikhonov then said that “Colonel Nuzhdov should be engaged in direct tasks” and not lead the biathlon.
– Tikhonov advised you not to dishonor your epaulets and not to interfere in the management of biathlon. Striped?
– Alexander Ivanovich himself is either a colonel or a general, I do not remember. His words have not scratched anyone for a long time. The names of the people criticized can be changed, their list is known to everyone and the text is almost the same. As they say now about sanctions: I’m proud to be on par with famous people.
Tikhonov himself hardly hopes to scratch anyone. “I fight because I fight.” He scolds because he is used to scold. In what form – it speaks rather not about me, but about him. The attitude, like that of all those whom he decorated with epithets, is calm. The wind, the sun, the rain are phenomena of the same order. There is and there is what you can do. On the contrary, it is respectful that at this age a person has retained a fuse and becomes even more energetic over the years,” Nuzhdov told .
