Alexander Volkov discusses Victory Day significance and Moscow as best city

Alexander Volkov shared his perspective on Victory Day, describing it as a holiday he regards with more sorrow than joy, though he remains grateful to veterans and celebrates the victory. The heavyweight stated he teaches his children a pacifist worldview centered on preventing war, reflecting the Soviet-era sentiment of 'just so there's no war.' Despite living abroad, Volkov instills these values in his family. When asked to describe Moscow in three words five years after calling it 'dirt, traffic, construction,' Volkov now declares it the best city in the world for living and beauty. He noted the city has improved significantly and praised its cleanliness during his summer 2025 visit.
