Interview Vitali Klitschko. "So you do not know grief and good luck." The funniest quotes of Vitali Klitschko. About patriotism and Ukraine

The mayor became famous thanks not only to his bright boxing past, but also primarily for his ability to issue pearls.

Of all the statements and reservations of Vitali Klitschko, you can compose a Talmud at your leisure, when you are in a bad mood, read and have fun. On such a significant day, "KP" in Ukraine "collected the best aphorisms of the mayor.

Not only everything

The "calling card" of Vitali Klitschko is the phrase about tomorrow, uttered on the air of the Ukrainian television channel.

"Today, tomorrow, not everyone can watch. Or rather, not only everyone can watch. Few people can do it," - from that moment on, everyone began to quote the mayor of Kiev on the Internet.

To the ground

A little later, Klitschko commented on the situation with the preparation of the capital for the heating season and made a reservation: he urged the people of Kiev to prepare for the land. Or maybe he didn’t make a slip at all ?!

"I ask each of the people of Kiev to treat this problem with understanding and would ask all the people of Kiev to address the problem of heat saving and preparation for the earth with a special component in the same way."

In another interview, Vitali Klitschko very clearly explained why there is no water supply in some areas of Kiev:

"To make cold water hot, it needs to be warmed up!" - and here you will not argue after all.

In general, the mayor’s words sometimes sound quite logical, let’s take as an example the situation with the collapsed Shuliavsky bridge.

"He was not recognized as an emergency. He was tired of the time ..."


Mathematics is a complex science

We remind you who forgot, Vitali Klitschko is a former boxer and he does not have to be able to do complex mathematical calculations. Boxing is not chess.

“I have two deputies, four of whom have been in the cabinet for a month now and whom it’s impossible to appoint. I don’t know why,” but we don’t know what they’re lying there.

“I want to draw everyone’s attention. I met with many policemen who died, with people and demonstrators who died, and everyone asks a question ...”

But what questions can there be, Vitaly Vladimirovich ?!

"In the Odessa region there is a city of 50 kilometers - not far. You know, the distance is not measured in kilometers. Two hours ... 50 kilometers to go two hours," the Kiev mayor pointed out to problems with roads.

Thoughts in my head

Surely the whole point is that Vitali Klitschko has a lot of thoughts and sometimes they get confused and it turns out that it turns out. To the question of journalists about how much time the mayor needs to change the situation in the city, the mayor answered in his usual manner.

“We need not only time, we need money. Because we understand that we do not need money. Do not take money from us. From the air without money, we will not be able to build roads or elevators to replace,” he was simply confused in his thoughts.

As a matter of fact, in an interview with Vladimir Pozner

"If a person has put on the SS uniform, then ... there is a clear ... he painted himself in those colors in which he ... painted himself. And ... those people who ... have a lot of points of view about this ... I clearly adhere to and ... I clearly understand , what are these manifestations. If you are already so curiously raising the question that supposedly we are ... "- the curtain.


Congratulations!

Whatever it was, but the people of Kiev are still in a hurry to congratulate their mayor on his birthday. Here is even a coin with his portrait "issued" - face value of 8 UAH, dedicated to the new fares. Congratulations basically come in the same form as the Ukrainians themselves received from Vitali Klitschko.

"Happy New Year, I wish you not to know grief, good luck, love, happiness and especially health." And to you the same Mr. Mayor.

Vitali Klitschko is a legendary person. In our country there is no person who would not hear about this athlete. After all, Vitaliy is the world boxing champion. Without a loss of heart, we can say that the name Klitschko is the pride of Ukraine. But at present Vitaliy is not only the most successful boxer, but also a politician. What are the political views of the leader of the Udar party? What does he think of sport and Ukraine? Vitali Klitschko answered these and other questions in an exclusive interview with the portal www.stat-ua.kiev.ua

Vitaliy, you are a world famous athlete. Why do you need politics?

Sport is my life. But the life of my family, my parents, is connected with what is happening in Ukraine. We are not going to go live abroad. And we are not indifferent to what is happening in the country. Unfortunately, Ukraine has the deepest economic problems. The rules of the game are set for a handful of people. But the vast majority of the people, up to 90%, are waiting for their life to improve at least in some way, but nothing is changing. Other countries are developing - take at least Poland. Why can't we? There is potential here to make our country great. Today we must not miss the moment.

So today is politics a priority for you?

I have time for everything. Every morning I train. And starting from 9 in the morning I work in the office. Before the fight - 3 weeks of serious training and, of course, I am not interested in politics. Although who knows, maybe in a few years they will talk about me as a politician, and not as an athlete.

Is your main task to bring Ukrainian politics to the European level?

And that too. There are many ideas and tasks, the main thing is to have time to implement everything. For example, in Ukraine, charity is elevated to the rank of feat, I try to make patronage the norm. In addition, one of the main tasks that I set for myself (as a politician) is the fight against corruption.

Vitaliy, how do you evaluate your sports career?

I have achieved almost everything that you could dream of. He was the champion of Europe, the intercontinental champion. He won world titles. It was very honorable for me to become the owner of the same title, which Muhammad Ali once owned. He became the owner of the honorary belt, which is awarded by boxing experts of The Ring magazine, as the planet’s strongest heavyweight. Assessing my sporting path, I can now say: I have achieved all the goals that I set for myself. My brother and I have three belts out of a possible four. Our plans are to conquer it.

What do you wish our readers?

The main thing is to have a goal and a dream. And go to her without stopping. And rest assured, everything will turn out!

Maria Ryabinina, specially for

Ukraine has always been famous for heroes.

They are glorified in legends, songs, thoughts, and the most famous Ukrainian strongman lived, of course, in the capital city of Kiev, on Podol, earned his living by wrinkling his skin, making them suitable for further processing, which is why he got the nickname Kozhemyak. According to an ancient legend, it was Nikita Kozhemyak who saved Kiev from the powerful fire-breathing Serpent, defeating the monster with his bare hands and not taking any rewards for it.

Vitali Klitschko became the face of not so much athletic as the generally strong Ukraine in the late 1990s, when photographs of boxing brothers Vitali and Klitschko with champion belts appeared on colorful posters that office residents love to hang over workstations. Since then, for more than ten years, Vitali Klitschko is the face of Ukrainian sports, the world champion, one of the most famous world sports brands, a millionaire, a living embodiment of the "American dream" in the Ukrainian format: a man who made himself.

But Vitali Klitschko is famous not only for working with his fists in the ring, mining champion belts. Almost for the first time in the history of world boxing, and Ukrainian, for sure, the world boxing champion defends his thesis and receives a Ph.D. Once Vitaly was asked: what, in his opinion, is a man and why did he come to this world? To which he replied: “There are many philosophical thoughts on this subject. I believe that man has come to this world in order to change it for the better. And if you philosophize on the topic that there is a boxer and why he came to this world, and give definitions, then a boxer is an athlete who is fond of this type of martial arts, like boxing. Engaged in this sport, for best results, he sets himself certain tasks. And he wins! ”

Since the fall of 2004, which has become historical and in many respects crucial for Ukraine, Vitali Klitschko has also become the new face of Ukrainian politics. Having come to the Maidan in 2004, a year later he headed the political bloc of his name. However, political activity did not distract him from the main thing - Klitschko continued to consolidate his status as world boxing champion.

How does a professional boxer manage to be both a politician and a philosopher?

Grandson of a blacksmith

Ukrainian from Kyrgyzstan

The future world champion Vitali Klitschko was born on July 19, 1971 in the village of Belovodsk - there, in Kyrgyzstan, his father, a military pilot, served. Mother, Nadezhda Ulyanovna, was an ordinary employee. But the historical homeland of Klitschko is Central Ukraine, Cherkasy, the famous Cossack and Gaydamak territory. The father of the future athlete, Vladimir Rodionovich, was born in the city of Smela. In general, as Vitaly said, the Klitschko clan comes from Volyn, the part of it that is now occupied by the Rivne region. Near the village called Vilshany there is a farm named Klitschki. E [about family tradition, this farm was founded by the Cossack Klitschko, who was known as a hospitable man and loved to receive guests. But this Cossack was especially distinguished not even by hospitality, but by a loud voice. He convened, that is, in Ukrainian, “clicking” (clicking) the guests. In the same voice, the ancestor of the champion also announced that he was going to fight.

The great-great-grandfather of Vitaly and Vladimir was a blacksmith, a man of great strength. In their family, in general, everyone was tall and strong. According to eyewitnesses, grandfather bent horseshoes and tore rawhide belts. Yes, and his father, an air colonel, was also not a weak dozen. “But nature is nature, and if Volodya and I relied only on it, we would lose to the first newcomers we met. In other words, at first - technology, and genetics - in addition, ”Vitaly once said. By the way, the younger brother of Vitaly, no less famous Vladimir, was born five years later, on March 25, 1976 in Kazakhstan, where his father was transferred by then. When the brothers grew up, achieved sporting successes and became public people, many, considering the posters and photographs in which they are depicted together, seriously take them for their peers and twins. “They often get confused,” the younger Klitschko agreed in numerous interviews. - It happens that you meet some charming young lady, you feel her interest in you - and suddenly he disappears. It turns out that “knowledgeable” people hinted at her, mistaking me for Vitali, about my wife and two children. This I’m not telling a story - a case from life, and not one. ”

Although Vitaliy repeatedly said in his interviews that his first childhood memories were connected with Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, apparently they were not bright enough: very little is known about the childhood of the Klitschko brothers, which passed outside Ukraine. Their father was transferred to Kiev only in 1985. The Klitschko family settled in a military town on the outskirts of Kiev. Vitaly was enrolled in the eighth grade of Kiev school number 69 in the middle of the school year. Instantly, he was the center of attention of a female. Which is not at all surprising: if the guy is tall, pumped up and slender - the gaze will stop at such a reluctance. “For some reason, seventh graders fell into a stupor for some reason,” recalls class teacher Vitaly Nina Voytenko in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine. - As I remember now: Vitalik is walking along the corridor, and all the girls from the elementary grades, as if on command, “make equality”. My colleagues and I laughed watching this picture. ” Vitaly himself, according to his school friend Yuri Ionanov, did not pay attention to such trifles. He was seriously interested in sports and was going to enter a military school.

However, despite the keen interest from the weaker sex, Vitaly himself tried to restrain his emotions. Although, as childhood friends recall, he liked to fashion. Then, in the eighties, chic and super-fashioned pants were considered pipes-pipes and ties, “herrings”. Vitaly and his friends had a mutual friend - a cutter who sewed their school trousers in a fashionable manner. Then the guys bought stylish black ties and flaunted, thus circumventing the instruction to appear at the lessons in the same, faceless form. Another childhood friend recalls how he and Vitaly loved to bite “Soviet” jelly in briquettes - there was no time to cook, and they did it at the time when the others had a Ukrainian lesson. According to the then rules, the children of military personnel who lived for a long time away from Ukraine were exempted from studying their native language. Over time, Vitali Klitschko will fill this gap by adding his native language to his fluent languages, and he will constantly improve it. “My family speaks Russian. There were no people nearby who could practice with me in Ukrainian more often. But I did not lose hope of mastering my native language. In addition, we can communicate in Kazakh, Czech and Lithuanian, ”Vitaliy later explained his attitude to the language problem.

By the way, Vitali Klitschko earned his first money as a schoolboy, and not at all in sports, but on ... love for Kiev. “I immediately fell in love with this city,” he recalled in an interview. - Kiev seemed cozy and very beautiful to me. I wanted to learn more about him and share my knowledge. This was the reason that I worked as a guide for six months. The first earnings - 140 rubles, I spent every penny on gifts to my relatives. I bought a radio for my parents, a brother and myself - a skateboard. Remained also on the "Kiev" cake. "

I must say that high growth gave the teenager a lot of trouble. During the summer of 1986, Vitaly grew immediately by 20 centimeters. After the holidays, he came to school thin, long and awkward. The young man was embarrassed to look at himself, he wanted to seem lower, therefore he was always hunched over and stooped. From an irreversible curvature, his spine was saved by a high school student who was professionally involved in sports. “You won’t become lower, it’s easy to be a hunchback,” he said, after which Vitaly reconciled himself to this growth. Later, he admitted that growth allows him to ride only certain models of cars, and only business class to fly in an airplane: the economy class is not designed for heroes, he always lacks space in the cabin. Despite his height and physique, Vitaly never participated in street fights. In adolescence, both he and Vladimir were already professionally involved in sports, including kickboxing, which became fashionable due to the popularity of martial arts films in the “late” USSR. And no self-respecting athlete will allow himself to fight on the street, and even with a weaker opponent. “When I came home with a bruise once in my childhood, my grandmother said:“ With a word, you can hit much harder than with your fist. Learn to prove the truth with words, ”recalls Vitaliy. - And here I am, listening to her advice, throughout all this time I try to train in eloquence no less than in boxing. I think this quality is also very important. "

Vitaliy Klichkomore than once demonstrated his own inability to speak publicly. It was because of their pearls that the mayor of Kiev became a real star on the Internet.

About tomorrow

On the air of the Ukrainian television channel, the politician uttered a phrase that instantly became his kind of “calling card”: “And today, tomorrow, not everyone can watch. Rather, not only everyone can watch. Few can do this. ”

Kiev residents

Later, commenting on the situation with the preparation of the capital for the heating season, Klitschko made a slip of his tongue and urged the people of Kiev to “prepare for the land”: “I ask each of Kiev to be sympathetic to this problem and would also ask all Kievans to address the problem of heat saving in the same way and preparation for the land. "

“For cold water to become hot, it needs to be warmed up,” - this is how the mayor of the Ukrainian capital, Vitaliy Klichko, explained to reporters why in some areas of Kiev there is no hot water supply.

“I wish you all a Happy New Year, I wish you not to know grief, good luck, love, happiness and especially health,” congratulations from Vitali Klitschko.

Mathematics and Klitschko

Vitaliy Klichko made a slip on the air of the Ukrainian TV channel TSN: “I have two deputies, four of whom have been in the cabinet for a month now and who cannot be appointed. I do not know why".

“In the Odessa region, a city is fifty kilometers away ... Fifty kilometers ... You know, the distance is not measured in kilometers. Two hours! Fifty kilometers you need to travel two hours. "

About fights

The ex-boxer commented on fist fights of parliamentarians of Ukraine: “Nevertheless, they went to parliament to work with their heads. The head of some does not work out very well, so fists went into play. As a professional in this matter, I can say that their fists didn’t work out very well either. ”

  After another skirmish in Verkhovna Rada in December 2012, in which Klitschko did not participate, he also said: “In the United States, fists of boxers are equated with weapons, and fists of the world champion can be called nuclear weapons. I think that we will not use these weapons yet. ”

About working with people

Also, the mayor of Kiev owns the following statements:

“I want to draw everyone’s attention. I met with many policemen who died, with people and demonstrators who died, and everyone asks a question ... ”

“I didn’t go from the office, I didn’t look, I went through, I looked at the cabinets, the cabinets do not matter to me. I’m ready to work, the main thing is that this work be effective, and not where you are sitting. ”

“I go where I’m ready to go.”

About Policies

In an interview with Ksenia Sobchak, Klitschko talks about the need for politicians to speak easier. But even this seemingly simple thought he cannot succeed in articulating clearly without his brother's help.

“A lot of politicians try to speak such terminology and so cleverly that you can listen there for an hour, and then ask him what you understood from all that has been said, and a person cannot absolutely say anything.”

“Politics has become an important part of my life. It resembles a can of cockroaches. Then someone will outwit someone, who will deceive whom. And even if politicians use forbidden methods against each other, they again meet in this bank. ”

About the story

Answering a question by Vladimir Pozner about SS veterans, Vitali Klitschko said: “If a person wore a SS uniform, that is, a clear one, he painted himself in those colors in which he painted himself. And those people who ... There are a lot of points of view about this. I clearly adhere to and clearly understand that those manifestations, if you ask the question with such an edge, that we are supposedly, ”he noted.

About patriotism and Ukraine

At a meeting with Ukrainian soldiers, Vitali Klitschko said at all: “The most important body armor for each of you who have it is mother, wife, children ... Social standards - this is body armor. When everyone knows: God forbid, what will happen to him, his family will receive good compensation and will not be impoverished, and the state will take care of them, and they have normal living standards. This is body armor. ”

We interviewed Klitschko. When asked about the preference for a car, we immediately heard a clear answer: “I ride big ones, because I just don’t fit in small ones. And comfort today is of great importance in cars ". When Vitali Klitschko, after nine, got into Grand Cherokee, he had the feeling that he was on an airplane. Almost always Vitalik himself driving, getting pleasure from it.

The interview with Vitali Klitschko came out pretty funny. He recalled a childhood in which his room was taped lamborghini posters, and he dreamed about when to buy it. And one fine moment came. “I came to the car dealership, and the managers upset me very much, they said that I simply could not fit in there. Of course, I tried to get into the lamborghini’s cabin, but I couldn’t. ”

Interview with Vitali Klitschko was conducted in the program. Visiting Dmitry Gordon. This program tells about the sports life of a boxer, as well as political activity. Vitaly talked about being friends with an American film actor, governor and just a good person Arnold Schwarzenegger .

Klitschko gave an interview very interesting. Vitaliy also talks about his site, where there is a quote “The greatest super heavyweight champion of all time is Vitali Klitschko.”   There is a heated discussion about this.

According to Vitali Klitschko the most great super heavy   is Max Schmeling. At some points, the interview with Vitali Klitschko took place in heat. But the interview was crisp and clear.
