Earlier, the Associated Press reported that in Milan at the San Siro stadium at the opening of the XXV Winter Olympic Games on February 6, a sign with the inscription “Ukraine” was carried by Russian Anastasia Kucherova, who lives in Italy. For her, this was, in particular, “a small act of resistance on the second anniversary of the death of dissident Alexei Navalny from poisoning.”
“It seems that the International Olympic Committee are not just idiots, but real sadists,” Tikhy commented on the incident.
