Everyone is talking about him now. Someone admires His Will's force, someone - talent, and someone regrets and outraged by the words in his address. I met with Evgeny Smirnov, a famous dancer without a leg, and learned how he himself worried about the situation around him.
- Eugene, now your name in newspapers and in television programs. They are talking about you, condemn, admire. How do you feel yourself?
- I feel amazing. My mood is positive - only forward. Work on yourself, engage in creativity. Only such a mood. I think this is: where the negative should not be, I immediately leaving.
- So you left the project "Minute of Glory"?

- Soon there will be five years, as your life was divided into "to" and "after" ...
- April 16, 2012 I got into an accident, my moped shot down the car. The driver left the accident site. Nevertheless, people helped me. But "ambulance" reacted to me the same way as the driver was hiding, very bad. I developed gas gangrene. The negligence of doctors led to the fact that I was left without a leg.
- Most after that would drop their hands. How could you start training?
- I was supported by relatives and friends. They saved my life. And to answer them what I did not achieve anything, I could not. I decided that I could thank friends with my own achievements. Further more. Rowing (Eugene Master of Sports. - Ed.), Began to dance again. The main thing, I understood: what would happen to a person, if he remained to live, then it was necessary. Just God sent a person to another way. You need to catch this new flow and sail on it, create in the new river bed. And not to clog the corner and do not sit at home. Need to act.

- You were a star on the show "Dance". Many know you, follow your work. Why did you go to the "minute of glory"?

I know that there is a prize fund at the competition, and wanted to win in order to invest winning in his inclusive dance school. I never hid it and spoke about it in all interviews. But I took me not as talent, but as a disabled person. Nothing wrong. Life goes on.
"After they announced that Yulia Samoilov would go to Eurovision, many began to hold parallels with your history.
- I'm not familiar with Julia, but I would love to meet her. I am very glad that she will go to Eurovision. I will root for her, worry, maintain. As for the selection itself, unfortunately, it happened against the background of the resonance, which happened around me. From what motives the Commission adopted such a decision, I do not know. I hope it was taken as because of my story.
