But much more important, the people are open and friendly. European television for some reason always focuses on the negative points when it talks about Russia. That's war, that's something else. And I live here, communicate with people and see that everything here is different." Promes also stated that he never encountered racism with fans. In January 2017, Promes stated in another interview: "In the end, we as people, are all the same. And we'll all die one day.
