The well-known hockey goalkeeper, Stanley Cup winner Ilya Bryzgalov, who has his own opinion on any issue, including the size of the Universe, shared his vision of the current situation in Russia during the difficult period of the coronavirus pandemic.
“We started moving in the right direction when we destroyed the USSR, but then for some reason we abandoned it. And now we are back in 1917 when everything depends on one person. And everyone is waiting for the tsar to say something. As he says , that’s how it will be. That is, after all this path, they again stepped on the same rake, “Bryzgalov said in a big interview with the Championship portal.
In his opinion, one leader cannot effectively manage such a large country. He goes to bed when morning comes in Vladivostok.
“This is the problem of our country. We do not have the Russian Empire, but the Russian Federation, and the regions should have the same powers as the states in America. Independent governors, senators, deputies who represent residents of the state in the government. The problem in our country is that people cannot, do not want or are afraid to take responsibility, make decisions, though difficult and unpopular, but which are needed for a country or region to develop, “he said.
Bryzgalov believes that the authorities of the Russian Federation, unlike the United States, do not help people enough during the coronavirus pandemic.
“In the US, the president announced an emergency mode, the state helps with money, the Federal Reserve buys assets. The state takes this responsibility, borrow money to help citizens. And this, in addition to what the states themselves do. Our state has accumulated large resources, it’s money citizens of Russia, they just have to demand them at this difficult moment. Once I heard Valentina Ivanovna Matvienko say: “There is no money of citizens, there is sovereign money.” I was very surprised at such a statement. All the money in stabilization funds, in budgets is your money Guy, you have a right to demand them, “- said the goalkeeper.
Bryzgalov completed a series of seditious thoughts with the conclusion that the Victory Parade was unnecessary, which this year will not be held for the first time on May 9 due to a pandemic.
“And why is this Victory Parade? We are stuck in some past, we all look back and forth, but we need to move forward. All the grandfathers, great-grandfathers fought, someone didn’t come back from the front, but life goes on, so many years have passed, and we are stuck in the past. For a long time, everything has changed, 30 years since there was no country that won. All the republics of the USSR participated, but for some reason they don’t celebrate so much anywhere like ours. People live with today’s, tomorrow’s problems. Remember that this horror and that we must try so that it never happens again, “Ilya believes.
Bryzgalov played in the Overseas National Hockey League (NHL) from 2006 to 2015 for Anaheim, Arizona, Philadelphia, Edmonton and Minnesota. Spent 465 matches of the regular season and won 221 victories. He played for the Russian team at two Olympics and won bronze in 2002. Also a world champion in 2009.
