From the old interview of Andrey Arshavin UK compared to Russia The Telegraph: “But the lifestyle is very difficult for me. There are a lot of rules I don’t understand. In Russia, you can break any rule. Here you can’t break rules.’’ Privilege untangled red tape in Russia. “It is good that everyone here in England is equal and it doesn’t matter whether you are a bus driver or player, it doesn’t matter how much money you have, you must follow the rules. I like it. It’s democratic.’’ He felt that his post-Soviet homeland was hewn with division. “In Russia, rich people say life is now better, you can buy anything you want. For older people and average workers, it is not a good time for them now. They are not sure of the future, whether they earn a good pension.’’ Coming from the captain of the Russian national team, such criticism of life back home is strong stuff. He does not flinch. “Sometimes, I speak directly and of course it’s about the wrong way of my government. I say we have this wrong, this wrong. But of course, there is more freedom, towns become more modern, more beautiful.’’
