I don't mind that interview.
I generally don't like how readily Artemi accepts the language barrier as a fact of life instead of trying, and how disconnected he is from his teammates as a result.
On the other hand, I like a lot about the guy. We act like someone is a bad person when they don't talk about winning all of the time. The guy tries hard on the ice, we shouldn't have any complaints. I find it admirable that he is so thrifty and gives a lot to the poorer members of his family, that he has talked about coming around on issues of gay rights, that he is willing to speak out against Russian legislation (in this case the internet bill). He's a good person.
