Oh Maxim!! I´m so sad seeing you in this frame of mind ...
And then seeing the mass of reporters, journalists and cameras in front of you, all trying to get the "best" picture or the "best" video . I think if I would be you I would not stand this !! And I see into your face and your eyes, speaking the clear language of your desperation ... Oh Maxim!!
Many, many big hugs for you, Maxim!!
If I could I would give you all the strength of the world ...
Please, hold on!!!

And "Baba Yaga" (=The name of the witch in the Russian fairy tale, isn´t it ?): Welcome and thanks for your post!!

I think the press photographers are really going too far here. And I really hope that they will let Maxim (and Albie) in peace in the court-room! But I fear they won´t ...

I'm sorry but given the situation, it is unrealistic to expect the press not to take photographs.

I think that was one of the reasons why he asked for making the trial non public ...

Yes, I definitely agree. The press are all over this case. It's a big story for them.

It is a very sad video.
But what would you write to the press or a TV station? It's a news story, so they are going to make reports about it. I know that the press conferences are extremely painful to watch... but Maxim did something irresponsible and this is a cost that he must pay.
Maybe you will think that what I say makes me a bad fan, but that is simply how I see it.

i watched it on the tv program when it was aired, and it was in fact very sad i think this was the hardest thing they ever had to do. And i won't even try to understand the masmedia, since they resembled these eagles or the other huge birds that are just waiting for meat.
...the person spoke about everything, answered all the questions - even the hard and STUPID ones , but Albenka and Max chose to do it in order to tell the truth and i totaly believe them because you could tell how much Max was sorry. It was hard to say it with words but how stupid do you have to be not to figure it out from his look and the way he reacted.

i tried...but i can't thing of a single bulgarian who would have the strenght to do what Maxim did.And what more he have t do in order for people to shut up and stop with the evil feelings... what more can i say

I feel a lot of respect for Maxim, that he was able to do this the way he did! I think Bulgarian Press sometimes forgets that he is a human beeing with feelings as well, and that makes me sick!

To Lana,
Instead I think they mean to hit him badly...
Rimember, Maxim says that he is willing to accept a fair trial, but
without political implications.....it's evident!!

All press sometimes forget. That is the nature of the profession.

I'm sorry but I can't understand the connection between the media and "political implications". Would you mind examplaining that to me?

Even though I couldn't understand a word Maxim said in the news video, I am so devastated to see his poor sad face weighed down with the heavy load he and Albena are carrying.

Though Maxim says he does not feel like a champion, he can be sure that he is indeed OUR champion and we will always see him that way. Not because of the medals and acclaim Maxim and Albena have won but because they are truly wonderful people who have won our respect and love.

They have our support and do not need to feel ashamed before any of us in this forum.

With great hopes for a brighter day coming soon........

Hello,
Could someone tell me if Maxim was called back from Moscow to appear in Bulgaria for charges? Or did he choose to schedule the press conference himself? I'm confused because they looked so happy in the photos from the day before.

If he scheduled the press conference, I'm glad he did. I think he pulled the rug from under his accusers' feet when he announced the end of his career. The media and the mean people should be quiet now because they got what they wanted--the end of his career.

Like some of you mentioned above, Maxim is to be admired for bravely and courageously facing the public and for basically saying, "Here--take it. I don't want to do this anymore." And I don't blame him. I guess he won't be earning a lot of money to pay the "big settlement" as stated by the ugly and hateful opinions in response to newspaper articles I've read. It doesn't sound as though he will be teaching young Bulgarians, either. This is a shame because it's like people shot themselves in the foot.

As far as Maxim's not wanting to look people in the eye, I would gently ask, "What if you were a physician, like members of your own family, and some of your patients die?" You wouldn't ever intend for a patient to die, but it does happen. Or what if you were an administrator or oligarch? People in jobs that have huge responsibility and power make mistakes that cause harm to others sometimes. At the end of the day, we learn to review the decisions we made and pray that we did more good than harm. I don't think God ever intends for a good person to be thrown away when he does more good than harm.

I learned when I was about 40 that I shouldn't get my feelings hurt when someone thinks ill of me. That's about when it occurred to me that they probably had good reason, for who could live 40 years without making mistakes or hurting someone? No one with a conscience wants to cause harm to anyone, but it happens many, many times over every day. We have to accept our mistakes and look forward to doing more good tomorrow.

God knows that Maxim has done so much good--and especially for Bulgaria--in his young life. The people who have followed Maxim's and Albena's career know what a strong conscience he has and how terrible he feels about this accident.

Given his athletic training and the way he's performed under such strenuous conditions when his body was exhausted from travel or weary from lack of sleep, I do not believe for a minute that alcohol had any influence on Maxim's behavior the night of the accident. The problem with this investigation is like any other serious search for truth: how much blame can be attributed to the darkness, rain, and wet bridge and how much to alcohol? Investigators who don't ferret out these answers are not conducting a serious search for truth. From the reports of Maxim's being able to assist those hurt, my conclusion goes toward the hazardous driving conditions.

Sorry to write so much. I'll try not to write again for a long time.

Hi,

Thank you Baba Yaga.

Albena and Max do look sad and crashed in this vieos. I think they had to do this press conference to stop rumors and speculations. Press has been writing different things and they had to set the record straight. It probably took guts to do it, but they face the difficult times like champions and like normal human beings. One can tell they are deeply sorry for the victums. They would turn the time back if they could, but no one can do this.

I am sure that everybody involved in this has a very hard time now. Like waking up and not knowing what planet they are on. I can only hope they find a way to better days.

Appearing happy one day and being very sad on the next are signs of a deep depression. I have been there once for a much smaller reason. Only the closest people were able to help me. Those things are very personal and a stranger may not be able to say the right thing, no matter how well intended.

Yes, I think this press conference was planned from him and Albena. They wanted to explain how they feel in this situation and stop the speculations (if it's possible )

hello again and thanks for welcome me!

the press conference was a "spontaneous" thing, not even influenced by their attorneys.
sorry for all of you that do not understand bulgarian, albena and maxim were talking about everything in behalf of the accident, about their feelings and how hard is now for them to live here and face the people...

sue, you are right, being a physician makes you face the death sometimes, even if you do everything right. but it doesn't make you "get used to". and if someone dies or is simply not getting better, it makes you feel down and guilty for some time... so, i can imagine how is maxim feeling now, being conscious of that he caused the accident and injured people. because being conscious of doing harm and feeling really bad about it is only possible if you are a good person. and obviously, they both are good persons.

sorry for my reflexions here, but i needed to share them. i will bring some more, if you don't mind. as much as i get, some of the posts here are getting to albena and maxim. and i thing this could help. so, sue, do not stop writing!!! this might help a little.

have a nice day to all of you!

Girls,

I think attorneys are right to insist on looking at the auto expertise carefully. Max says he doesn't remember things clearly and I believe him. He doesn't remember crossing to the other lane.

I was involved in a car accident once and reacted very quickly. If it wasn't for the withnesses I would never know if I did the right thing. I didn't take any legal action, because no one was injured. In short, people in the accident don't always have a clear idea what happened and in a case like this the expertise should be carried out meticulously if there are no proper withnesses, usually driving behind the cars involed in the crash.

i agree with you. But only because he's famous these things happened and probably not because he is famous, but because he earned his money with hard work and because he is beautiful with good life. Some people just can't stay when someone is successful

I just have nothing to say here - you have already written everything. I just feel frustrated about the fact that Bulgarians are so mean towards Maxim - the person who has done everything himself, the one who doesn't try to hide or something. A lot of people are just having fun mocking at him. Hate them all.
And have my fingers crossed for A&M.

I am so sorry that my post seemed critical of Maxim's suffering. I believe the terrible feelings he is experiencing now are very much cosistent with the goodness in his heart. My post was way too emotional, and I apologize.

Sue
