MOSCOW, July 6.
/TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has noted that foreign fans have
managed to dispel numerous myths about Russia through social media, he said at
a meeting with the world’s current football stars.
"These so-called
bloggers - people working in social media - helped tear down numerous
stereotypes about Russia," the president stressed.
Putin noted Russians’
warm attitude towards foreign football enthusiasts. "Fans from different
countries behave differently, but our football fans perceive those who came to
root for their teams as friends from the universal football family, and so they
are trying to do everything possible to make our guests feel at home in
Russia," the head of state emphasized. In his opinion, these foreign
guests have the opportunity to learn the culture and traditions of various
Russian peoples. Putin was sure that a majority of foreigners would take home
pleasant memories from Russia.
The president noted
that tens of thousands of football fans who came to Russia have created a
special festive atmosphere.
