Olympic speed skating champion and Russian State Duma deputy Svetlana Zhurova reacted to publications in the American media about the refusal of Zenit striker Artem Dzyuba to be called up to the Russian national football team.
According to her, now there is an information war. Therefore, the media will cling to everything. “They will come up with anything, including about sports. Unfortunately, this is happening now, ”SE quotes Zhurova.
She said that in this situation, all people need to check all the news, because they are designed for the first human reaction. You have to be more careful.
“Now they don’t care what audience will read, the main thing is to post such information. You can even invent them, it doesn’t matter. Any negative news about Russia will be blown out of proportion. We are now covering positive stories in response. Moreover, when we start talking about people abroad who support Russia, they immediately start having problems. It turns out that we want to support, but in the end it is to their detriment. This is all very unpleasant, ”said the deputy.
Recall that the head coach of the national team Valery Karpin explained why he did not call the striker of St. Petersburg “Zenith” to the training camp. According to Valery Karpin, he spoke with Artem Dzyuba by phone. But the Blue-White-Blues player refused the call due to the difficult situation in Ukraine.
