"Ukraine has become bold": ex-soccer player from Russia outraged by demand to kick out rival Kharlan, who was "raised with hatred" from the sport

Former USSR national soccer team player Anzor Kavazashvili threw a tantrum over Ukraine's demand to disqualify fencer Anna Smirnova for life after she provoked Olga Kharlan at the World Championships. The ex-Spartak Moscow footballer accused our compatriot of hating Russia, forgetting about the criminal war unleashed by the aggressor country.

Kavazashvili said this in a commentary for the propaganda news agency RIA Novosti. The two-time USSR champion attacked the International Olympic Committee (IOC) with accusations that the organization allegedly goes along with the Ukrainians, who "demand to pinch, expel and punish us in everything and everywhere".

"I congratulate the IOC, they don't have double standards, they have a multi-faceted to approach their own laws. This is an outrage, the real thing. The Ukrainian side has become naked, they demand to pinch, expel and punish us in everything and everywhere. But they will not succeed. Unfortunately, the Ukrainian athlete was brought up with hatred for Russia, that she stretched out a sword instead of a hand. The fact that the international federation first punished this athlete for her antics, it was absolutely fair," the former soccer goalkeeper said.

Recall, Kharlan defeated Smirnova in 1/32 of the World Cup-2023 in Milan. Our compatriot refused to shake hands with her opponent after the fight, after which she made a real circus right on the track.

The representative of the Russian Federation filed a protest against the result of the duel, which was rejected. Propaganda channel Match TV published a photo of the denunciation that the Russian wrote on Olga. As a result, the international federation disqualified Kharlan from the 2023 World Cup, but suspended its decision the next day.

Note that Smirnova is not a "neutral" athlete, as required by the competition regulations. The brother of the representative of the aggressor country is a military man, and she is very proud of him, which is evident from the joint photos. Russian propagandists also issued a ridiculous fake about Kharlan.

After the loud reaction in the world media to Olga's disqualification scandal, the IOC made a sensational decision on the Ukrainian. Later, video evidence emerged that Olga was suspended from the World Cup after pressure from Russia on the tournament organizers.

As reported by OBOZREVATEL, the brother of fencer Anna Smirnova tried to distance himself from the crimes of the Russian army in Ukraine, calling himself an "ordinary conscript." In addition, Russian propagandists declared their country's fiasco in the scandal surrounding the fight between Smirnova and Kharlan at the World Championships.
