Shamil Tarpishchev, President of the Russian Tennis Federation (FTR), said he may have been killed in 1996.
“I was originally president of the National Sports Foundation. With the thought of converting it to a state fund as an output. To somehow feed the sport – to create factories, something else … So they called me and forbade me to enter the NSF.
From where? Thanks to status. I left NSF. Then, thanks to some comrades, they decided to throw everything on me. They could have been killed in 1996!
I didn’t have a security guard. Even at that moment. I thought the job was never done. Why do I need security if I haven’t stepped on anyone? Another question is that I have to live in the “Krupskaya house” in Arkhangelsk. This is the Kaluga Highway, but the same government huts as Rublyovka on the other side. I almost never appeared in the city, ”quotes Tarpishchev “Sport Express”.
The 74-year-old president of the RTF is an honored coach of Russia and a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). On March 7, Tarpishchev turns 75 years old.
Formerly Shamil Tarpishchev said On relations with the first president of the Russian Federation, Boris Yeltsin.
