Russian football referee Anton Shchetinin, who has been living in Australia since 2004, admitted that after February 24, there was no more negativity among the locals because of their nationality. The 36-year-old referee is married to a Ukrainian woman and they have three children.
“But when an accent comes up, it starts: “Ooh, Russia, Putin, blah blah.” Here everyone watches and reads American media, so they hear more negative things about Russia,” Shchetinin is quoted as saying. sport24.
The judge said that the Australians demonstrate their disdain for the Russians in different ways.
“I read about individual incidents that someone was infringed on at work. But it would never occur to anyone to fire you because you don’t like something. They can show their “fi”: you drink coffee in the company, you have an extra cup they won’t do it. But apart from minor dirty tricks, nothing serious. And that was more likely in the first two months, when the news about Ukraine was the first story,” Shchetinin said.
