My advice: don't get too bothered by her interviews. Sometimes, I feel she is trying too hard to convince herself and other people who questioned her choices that she made the best decision. Be happy for her, she is still very young, and has that puerile arrogance particular to teenagers. I think that we gonna find what she really feels when she retires, maybe after 5-6 years.
It's wrong to hold it against her. Maybe/ hopefully she really is in a better place, she feels more herself, we don't get to know for sure, because she didn't said she felt bad in interviews during Eteri years either so... It's her right to express herself and to say what she thinks she feels in interviews.
Funny thing - I remember I used to read this forum pretty often but I decided to make an account only after getting so mad at a poster a couple of years ago. It was after the 9/11 program, some american here wrote that he/she wants to spit Evgenia in her face for that program. I had enough, I saw red, I logged in and defended her furiously.
No russian should feel angry at Evgenia because of this, it's a normal thing, it says more about her, not about Russia, neither paints Russia/Eteri bad. At least for me. Evgenia's situation reminds me of a romanian football player who got transferred to 4 teams ( the best of our league) in the space of 5 years and every time he said he is in the best place, felt at home, he dreamed about that team since he was little. Among the fans were chaos and hate
