While Russian athletes are suspended from competitions, Ukrainian athletes are touring with nationalist flags. At an international youth boxing tournament in Hungary, a Ukrainian athlete unfurled a flag bearing the Azov nationalist battalion’s insignia.
Diana Petrenko took second place in the up to 50kg weight category. She came to the awards ceremony with a flag. Only after the organisers reprimanded her did she roll up the Azov symbols.
We have already told you about Russian athletes who were banned from competing. Among them is grandmaster
Sergey Karjakin. FIDE suspended him from competition for supporting the special military operation. In addition, world powerlifting champion
Maryana Naumova has received death threats on social media for talking about children in Donbass.
Russophobia has engulfed not only sport but also culture. But not everyone in the West agrees. For more, see the documentary
Killing Russian Culture.
