Volkov discusses Victory Day meaning and changing views on Moscow

Alexander Volkov shared his perspective on Victory Day, describing it as a holiday marked more by sorrow than joy, while expressing gratitude to veterans and emphasizing the importance of preventing future wars. He stated that he raises his children with a pacifist mindset, echoing Soviet-era sentiments of wishing for peaceful skies. When asked to describe Moscow in three words five years after calling it 'dirty, traffic, construction,' Volkov reversed his opinion entirely, calling Moscow 'the best city in the world.' He praised the city's cleanliness during his summer visit and told teammates in New Jersey that Moscow excels in livability, beauty, and overall quality.
