Alexander Volkov discusses Victory Day values and Moscow impressions

Alexander Volkov shared his perspective on Victory Day, describing it as a holiday marked more by sorrow than joy, expressing gratitude to veterans while lamenting that such events occurred at all. He explains that he raises his children with a pacifist mindset emphasizing "as long as there's no war," reflecting values from the Soviet era. When asked about Moscow five years after calling it "dirt, traffic jams, construction sites," Volkov revised his assessment dramatically. After visiting last summer, he now considers Moscow "the best city in the world" for living, beauty, and overall quality, noting how clean everything has become. He emphasized this view during recent conversations with teammates in New Jersey.
