Living in peace with yourself is the only thing that matters, and f*** everyone else.” Her comments came off the back of Russian footballer Nadya Karpova’s recent decision to come out as gay, admitting the Espanyol forward had also “helped others”. “I was happy for her, but also other people, especially girls who needed to know that,” she explained, sitting with Kravchenko after completing a training session. But this year’s French Open semi-finalist still thought it was “impossible” to spend life living in the closet, saying: “It’s impossible. “So many subjects are taboo in Russia, some of them more important than ours, it’s no surprise,” she said, when asked how she felt about the taboo of being gay in Russia.

Activists and athletes say this is an important and symbolic moment for rights of LGBTQ+ people in Russia.

In the civilised world, no one should be condemned for this,” said one of the many encouraging comments that were upvoted by other readers. “It is so important for younger people to have role models who are like them. “Well done for saying what you said. “I was ecstatic, jumping around like crazy in my flat.” For them to see that there is absolutely nothing wrong with them,” Karpova added. “The timing is so symbolic as well, with all the fucked-up things happening in Russia.”

Daria Kasatkina Criticizes War in Ukraine (The New York Times)

In a twist of irony, Elena Rybakina, who was born in Russia but opted to represent Kazakhstan four years ago in exchange for funding from that country’s tennis federation, won the Wimbledon women’s singles title. Asked whether two women would ever be able to walk down the street holding hands, she said, “Never.” The move was popular in Britain, according to opinion polls, but received significant pushback from the men’s and women’s tennis tours. Earlier this year, before the invasion, Andrey Rublev, another top Russian player, wrote “No War Please” on a television camera following a match. “I can’t imagine what it’s like to have no home,” she said. Russian players had made no effort to speak with her or express empathy, Tsurenko said. “Even Europe can’t do” anything, she said, using an expletive. They condemned it as discriminatory and decided to withhold rankings points for any victories at Wimbledon. It also represented a dramatic break with precedents of not letting politics interfere with individual athletes’ participation in sports and of limiting punishments taken in reaction to the war to barring Russian and Belarusian teams or any flags or other symbols of the countries from competitions. In April, acting at the behest of the British government, the All England Lawn Tennis Club, which runs Wimbledon, and the Lawn Tennis Association, which oversees the other annual spring and summer tournaments in England, barred Russian and Belarusian players from their tournaments. For the first time since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, a Russian tennis player has publicly criticized the war, a move that may land her in trouble if and when she returns to her home country. For Kasatkina, currently the highest-ranked Russian woman at No. 12, the statements were a rare move for a celebrity of her stature in Russia, where President Vladimir V. Putin has supported a series of laws against speaking out against the war and against expressing favorable views of homosexuality. After calling the war a “nightmare” and coming out as gay in an interview, Daria Kasatkina, the highest-ranked Russian woman, said she worried for her safety if she returned to her home country.

But let Daria not be deceived, no one is interested in what orientation she is and what girl she lives with. Kasatkina was also criticised by another Duma state deputy in Vitaly Milonov - a Russian politician who has become something of a hate figure among the country’s LGBTQ+ community. The Russian No 1 was slammed by two state Duma deputies who took issue with her explaining the difficulties of trying to play professionally while still in Russia.
