The head of security, Boris Yeltsin, has revealed unexpected facts about his past

“Boris Yeltsin is commonly perceived as the man who destroyed the country. Only idiots can say that to blame him for all the ills. The man himself gave power – it also says what kind of structure it was. I’m to the bone convinced that Boris Nikolayevich was a democracy…” – said the tennis player.

Now, when Kafelnikov and he ended his career in 2003, the man was gone from the sport – he is the Vice-President of Federation of tennis of Russia. Many Internet users also know that Eugene is actively “Twitter” and “Instagram”.

“I’m not aggressive. I’m neutral… When they say that Meldonium harmless drug, I don’t believe it. She specially for some purposes used. Let’s say you have a heart problem. Then you announce this in advance: I have a problem. Then would disappear all the questions. But if you have not done it before, and continued to use this drug, I refuse to believe that it is harmless,” explained the athlete.

In a recent interview with Yevgeny Kafelnikov also spoke about his desire to start a family and become a father. Once the athlete has officially put an end to the relationship model, Maria Tishkova, it took about a year. “I am confident that sooner or later it will happen – and certainly in the near future”, – quotes tennis player Sports.ru.
