— How you appeared in Ukraine?

— In Nalchik some time the trainer from Ukraine Vladimir Evonov who now heads the women's national team of this country worked. I was engaged at it. Returning home, Vladimir Evgenyevich took me with himself. I then was 13 years old. There I before recent time lived and trained in Kherson.

— And why decided to return?

— I didn't want to remain simply a wrestler, there was a wish to progress, see prospect, and in Ukraine for this purpose conditions in respect of training process and material security aren't present. Or rather, they, of course, are, but not such good, as in Russia. Here I also decided to return. The trainer didn't dissuade me, he considered that so for me it will be better. In Federation of wrestlingof Ukraine me didn't want to release, but couldn't refuse when for me dear people asked. This is Mahomed Guseynov, Marek Tedeev and Anzor Tembotov. I was given quickly striking off, and after the last performance for Ukraine I in a year could participate in the championship of Russia.

— You returned to Kabardino-Balkaria which represented in the championship of Russia. In due time from this republic to Dagestan Bilyal Makhov, however, got over he decided on this step at more early age. Whether he advised you to follow its example?

— No, with Bilyal we weren't crossed long ago, after all he is occupied recently with trauma treatment. The trainer Mahomed Guseynov advised it. He at first invited me to collecting to Adler where Russian national team prepared, and then suggested to move to Khasavyurt and to train there in school of the Olympic reserve which he heads.

— You only returned to a family, and now again it left. How parents treated your next departure?

— Parents always want that to their children was as it is possible better. If they released me to Ukraine when I was 13 years old, now especially didn't object. By the way, I half the Dagestani, my mother — on a nationality the Lak. I am in Khasavyurt since September of last year. It isn't necessary to miss. For days on end I vanish in a hall, and between trainings I have a rest. I shouldn't think of housing and food, all this to me provided in school. If there are results, can count on a grant. Here already all depends on me.
