I intentionally opened this topic, because I not wanted to "spoil" other topics dedicated to skating
... Why? Read my post if you have patience (and if you understand anything of my "poor" english)
************************************
IntroductionRead Russian newspapers and sites a few months (as well, this applies and to the "western specialized" skating forums)
... I could well see constant attacks, insults and attempts to almost humiliation of Evgeni's - how him as a skater (mock his victory, judges score and skating - in the past and present) ... thus and him personally ...
Maybe just me this nerve, but if I do not write
.... I will
.... I will explode!
(each objectivity is excluded from my further statement in this post
- I apologize in advance, if I insulted someone in that
)
I ChapterEspecially me provokes the following text that I read today (just as a typical example for all other similar)
... When it appears few nice texts about Evgeni ... as a balance, to previous texts which "glorify" him - immediately must be a bunch of texts, in which he are on attack (roll in "decorative paper" concerns for the future of the Russian skating
)
In this text are visible almost all reasons, why some people in Russia do not like Evgeni's, and why they would not like to he be back and may even bring a Russia victory (of course, some reasons for concern, and those who are not only Russians)...

Невозвращенец?...
("Non-returnee?...." or: man who is not coming back)
... In general, from all points of view, the return of Evgeni Plushenko was not the most prudent idea. First of all, it most hurts to champion of Games-2006. This will understand anyone who saw his "Tango" by Edvin Marton, which Plushenko already this season was going to return to amateur ice.
... ... only this quote, which is the ending this "analysis"
... I do not want to give you complete translation, I will only transfer the basic thesis from this text, as I understood them -
what he had "sinned" according to the interpretation of "so many" people, and what is his fault ...
II ChapterHis unforgivable "sins" from the past:
- victory over Yags - guilty, according to the interpretation of his fans
- continuing invincibility against all other world skaters - guilty, according to the interpretation of fans all other skaters and "foreign" journalists
- hi give "promise" about returns to the competition - guilty, according to the interpretation of his "betrayed" fans
- one more "victory", however was insignificant: Eurovision - guilty, according to the interpretation of his "betrayed" fans and skating's "puritan"
His unforgivable "sins" in the present:
- his "scandalous" jet-set society - Dima, Yana and her, even more scandalous ex-husband (who is, btw... constantly plotter by newspapers against Yana and Plushy) - guilty, according to the interpretation of people which think that can manage with his life, or those who like to be voyeur and comment one's private life
- often appearing in the media - guilty, according to the interpretation of those who do not like him
- belonging to one of the political parties - guilty, according to the interpretation of political opponents
- his wealth - guilty, according to the interpretation of people with "rooted communist legacy"
His unforgivable "sins", which will commit in the future:
- probability that he take place someone other in the national team (one of the current Russian skater) - guilty, according to the interpretation of ... I guess it is clear
- he dare to ask conditions for the preparation, from sports officials - guilty, according to the interpretation of politicians, which share money by their will
- fear of exposure his "Tango's" to "rest of the world" (lowering his level of "artistic" skating on the level of "pornographic") - guilty, according to the interpretation of moral hypocrites
- fear of the world's skaters, their fans and foreign journalists of his return (this be break their illusion, about that who should be at the top) - guilty, according to the interpretation of all of them
- fear of the final proof: that he is the best male skater of all time - guilty, according to the interpretation of all those who are not his fans
All in all, 4 basic reasons:
revenge, jealousy, fear and moral hypocrisy ... but it is still a lot of people, which are included in the current "campaign" against Evgeni's (and even more will be in the future, if he to be returned to the competition)
Final ChapterI know, know
- I'm boring and I have a little paranoia
in connection with all, which regards to Evgeni's
... but now to me already easier, when I wrote this in public
... sorry for the annoyance, I am only passing away
P.S. In fact, the best would be to completely ignore my post
P.S.S. we can, of course, feel free to write your thoughts
