Maxim in driving accident

THANNNNK!!! GODDD!!!

I just found this, from 26.10.2007. I think it was not posted before (?).
Parts of their press conference from 18.10.07, this time in English language ... Questions of the journalists and Maxim´s answers ...

Petra, thanks so much for this question and answer session in English. It helps me more than you know!

Petra, thank you for finding and posting this article in English. I could tell from Maxim's voice in the video interview that he was not seeking sympathy, even though he has brought much good acclaim to Bulgaria. The written article supports this view.

I can find no fault in this young man. Maxim conducted himself as a first-class citizen of Bulgaria when he and Albena won two World Championships for that nation, and he is conducting himself as a first-class citizen of Bulgaria during these very sad days. He is a better person than I am as I don't believe I could have openly faced the media as he did.

My conclusion is that Maxim Staviski is a very brave and straight-up young man who comes from very good parents. With this in mind, I do hope the witness who has come forth will be helpful. I don't find it so unusual that the witness delayed coming forward because, many times, witnesses don't want to get involved.

This is a very sad case that leaves me wishing that I could do something for everyone.

Petra, you find everything!! Thank you.
Maxim proves once again to be good, kind and vulnerable....
Albena, as usual, is determined. She does right saying , about
many people "all the others are simply evaporated"... Poltroons!!

Thanks Perta for finding this one.
This sounds like what Maxim said, not the twisted reports from last week.
I didn't have the heart to watch the videos more than once in order to translate.

Thank you Petra.You are just great.

Thank you, Petra, SO MUCH!

I can only guess the meaning while reading the numbers (because it´s in Bulgarian only):

Do they say here Maxim´s speed was 104 km per hour???

Yes Petra you guess right.It says 104 km per hr and that the speed of Honda was less.

Hm, Viktoria, I think that´s baaaaaad news I found ....

OH!!!!!!OHHHHHH!!!

An article from 7dni sport.An interview with Vasko Vasilev

The tittle is "Maxim deserves a second chance"
/We are equal before the law ,we just have different gifts and talents/

I'll try to translate latter.




P.S.The translation

I had known Maxim for several years as a very good,responsible and dignified human being,with extremely strong believe in justice. In profesional aspect i was and am still impressed by his talent ,potential and his ideas not only as a sportsman but as a creator with complete conception about the development of figure skating as an art and form for entertainment.
About the road accident from this summer I,ll try to give my position only as a citizen.I myself am a driver and i know that nobody is insured and everyone could make mistakes.I have my own life story about losing a family member as a result of similar accident and sadly but i know very well this pain.

I know after some time that life continues but everyone has to take and carry their cross and to learn to live no matter what.

I believe Maxim is strong enough to accept the truth with dignity.
I am sure we will feel again his bravery that we all as Bulgarians used to admire
It is a fact that we are equal before the law but we are different as a person and human being ,granted with some gifts and talents.
The history and the life itself give us every day examples about how some people inspire and give a strength to other people
Maxim is a born leader and that is why i think he deserves to be punished not with effective sentence but with effective second chance, so he can become an example again not only on the ice but also in life as an ordinary person who did a mistake.

Thanks Viktoria and also many thanks to Vasco Vasiliev. It's nice to see that some friends are not "evaporated"...
Maxim , Albie, siete sempre nel mio cuore!!

I agree with you piemontesina.It is good to know that some of their friends are there and are not afraid to speak up . I wish all the best to everyone . Viki.

viktoria, THANK you for this article! I think, the words of Vasko Vasilev are very importanat in this situation! Thanks to Vasko Vasilev!

Bravo Vasko

Vasko Vasilev is a wonderful person!
Thanks for this interview!

Thank you, Viktoria! I hope his words will be heard by the court because, coming from him, I think they would help. The article was a very good testimony about Maxim as a good person who still has many contrbutions to make for humanity.

Thank you for the translation,Victoria! I like Vasko Vasilev's point of view

Thanks for the article and the translation, Viktoria . It´s really a good feeling to know Vasko Vassiliev is still believing in Max!!! Thanks!!!

A letter from Natalia Linichuk and Genady Karponosov in "24 Hours" from yesterday.
Special Thank you to mimosa .


"The Olympic Champions in special Letter;
We've know Maxim since 1996.
Since we've first met him at one international competition we have been nicely suppressed that in the world of figure skating where we have such
a cruel rivalry appeared a boy for whom the postulates of the big sport were mutual aid,goodness and willingness to help,honesty in the game.Those are not magniloquent words but standards of live behavior.

No matter what is the competition even when it was difficult for himself ,Maxim always tried to find the right words of support,encouragement and sometimes jokes for everybody.At the competitions he always has been a pitchfork of good mood for all other sportsmens. Of course,you cannot play this as a role "especially " if you don't have those abilities in the real life .Once we had the chance to know him closer we were convinced that he really is a human being with a capital letter.Real men although this meaning is old fashion.Honest,manly,stable and at the same time sensitive ,helpful,good and never remember the badness .
When we started to work with him we realized that he is a real professional at the highest level. He posses unique talent but he always remembered that only talent without hard work won't give high results.He was able to work for hours until full exhaustion to make programs perfect for the completions .There was a time when we would start the training at 6 in the morning or at midnight ,Maxim was always ready for a productive work from the very first minute. And if the coach asked to repeat again and again and again ...even when everybody was at the limit of their strength and nerves ,Maxim would do it without complaining. He together with his partner won highest sport tittles and became World Champions twice.
The last program of Albena and Maxim is the highest standard in ice dancing which i doubt it will be exceeded soon.Maybe only Albena and Maxim will be able /if they have a chance to come back /to bring gold medal from Olympic games."


Those are very touching words ,I admire Natalia and Genady for all great work they have done not only with Albena and Maxim but with all their students.

Thanks again very, very much Viktoria!!!

Thank you very much Viktoria, for both articles.

Viktoria, THANK YOU!!!!!
