— As I understand it, ISU prize money cannot be reimbursed by Russian competitions?
— There were costs of another order. It’s just not comparable.
— Will you send your children skating?

— Do you feel like a successful speed skater right now? There is even a world title!
— I feel successful when I win competitions with good results. But lately, even that isn’t enough to feel successful.
— Are the psychological practices “sit down and write down on a piece of paper everything you have accomplished” already used?
“I haven’t resorted to such methods yet and I don’t think it will suit me at all.”
— Basically, Wikipedia has everything about Murashov, a successful athlete. A successful athlete in the international ranking of the season. Do you feel like no? For what?
— There are several factors. If I don’t catch at least one, I can’t feel like one. Now the financial factor is worrying,” Murashov said in an interview with .
