Zhirinovsky: the Russian team lost to Croatia because it did not know about the Ustasha atrocities
Russian football players lost to the Croatian national team because they were not politically motivated enough.
LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky announced this on the sidelines of the Russian State Duma, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Where is the psychological treatment? Croatia was on Hitler's side and destroyed Yugoslav partisans, communists, including Soviet ones, who escaped from captivity. We had to explain to our players who they were playing with.
Mitrofanov, a member of the A Just Russia faction, is also there - he fled there from criminal liability. Raise the morale of our players. Nothing was done,” Zhirinovsky said.
On November 14, the Russian team lost to the Croatian team with a score of 1:0 in favor of the Croats. Russian defender Fedor Kudryashov scored an own goal in the 81st minute.
“This is symbolic. Instead of smashing the enemy, beat your own people so that strangers will be afraid. Why was he confused there?” – Zhirinovsky was indignant.
