The formal attitude of the Russian Olympic pole vault champion Yelena Isinbayeva to her military rank is unacceptable. This statement was made by the Minister of Sports of Russia Oleg Matitsin during the “government hour” in the State Duma.
Isinbayeva said on July 17 that the military ranks received while playing for CSKA were fictitious. “It is unacceptable to treat military rank and civil position in this way, to the events that are taking place in your country,” Oleg Matitsin reacted. According to him, any person who loves his country will react negatively to such statements.
Previously, the statements of the champion were criticized by other famous athletes. So biathlete Alexander Tikhonov said that he proudly wears his military rank. He also said that Isinbayeva should feel like a Russian woman, regardless of where she lives, the business publication reports.Sight».
