Thank you Petra and Sue .
Here is the translation of the whole interview.
Q - Albenche, we can’t skip this question: How is Maxim’s condition and how he is accepting the changes in the sentence ?
AD- I don’t even know how to answer. I guess you all can understand that neither his condition nor mine is flourishing but still , he gave few short statements after the verdict and said that he will accept any court’s decision. In this connection, I would like to say that I am with him and I am supporting him from the first moment and until now but I am not Maxim or his lawyer .I believe is more correct for Maxim to answer the questions that are addressed directly to him ,of course if he has a desire to answer. Please, if there is anything specific you want to ask me let it be only about us both or something i can answer somehow because I don’t want to play the role of his lawyer .
Q -OK, in this order ,how about you participation in “Ice Age” , because we know for you is very important and de facto is your way to work at the moment ? What it will change from here and in general will anything change at all during the appeal ?Can i ask like this?
AD- I can say ,that I am extremely grateful to the organizators of this show and especially Ilia Averbukh for their ethical , human treatment and understanding and for giving us opportunity to work at the moment . You know this is really important for us. There are no changes in their attitude and our engagements for now .The changes will occur here : accordingly to what Maxim will decide to do and of course the court‘s decision.
Q- OK, well ,during the appeal you can continue to work ? Is my understanding right?
AD -Yes. At the moment we don’t have any other restrictions but I think that more competent people will be able to answer this better than me .
Q- In the same order, as far as I know because of the huge public rating the show will continue .It was supposed to end around Christmas time .
AD - I have no idea. Yes, it was said that the show had a big public interest ,very high rating and because of this it was decided to be prolonged for two more months in March and April . Honestly, we don’t have clear information about this decision because it was made at very high level in Russian Channel 1 and we don’t know any particular details .
Q- What is your comment about the fact that there are so many heavy accidents but only Maxim received effective sentence?
AD- I can’t give any comments because I am not a specialist in this area . I consider, that everyone can make their own conclusion .I believe that maybe lawyers , judges , prosecutors or any representatives of the jurisdiction can make better comment on this matter. I am not the person to take side and give my public opinion .
Q - Do you feel like a victim of the juridical system ?
AD - Why are you asking me those provocative questions ?
Q- But still…?
AD - After all, I think, I don’t have to answer this question now.
Thank you.
