– How does it feel to perform only in Russia and occasionally travel to Belarus?
We are in a situation where there is no choice. It remains to do our job, we think everything will be fine.
– Do you believe that the next season will be full-fledged?
I’m used to always thinking positively. I hope everything is okay.
