CITIZEN OF THE WORLD SUPPLIED TO RUSSIA
After the collapse of the USSR, the Ukrainian national football team was not allowed to international competitions... To play at the highest level, Andrei Kanchelskis, Sergei Yuran, Ilya Tsymbalar, Yuri Nikiforov, Viktor Onopko, Igor Dobrovolsky - half of the Russian national football team of the mid-nineties - became Russian citizens. In turn, the "trademark" of Kiev "Dynamo" and the debut of Ukraine in the UEFA tournaments gave impetus to the opposite movement. Viktor Leonenko and Yuriy Kalitvintsev became citizens of Ukraine.
Two or three years ago, Russia “played” Sergei Semak, Artyom Bezrodny and Eduard Mora. Sergei Serebrennikov, Artem Yashkin, Sergei Kormiltsev became Ukrainians.
The exchange of citizenship between the players of the two countries was interpreted by many as theft of football talents by the Slavic brothers. Nobody tried to understand what pushes players, usually young ones, to take such a step.
But moving will continue. And that's okay. About them - our conversation with the player of Ramenskoy "Saturn" Eduard Mor.

I am a graduate of Severodonetsk football. Severodonetsk is a small town in the Luhansk region with a population of 180 thousand. There was a good team "Khimik", played in the Ukrainian first league. In the same city, there is a well-known sports school for children and youth of the Olympic reserve, which I entered. From there I got to the Luhansk sports boarding school. After graduation he returned to Severodonetsk, where he played for "Chemist". Then it fell apart due to economic problems: the chemical plant that maintained the team ran out of money. I moved to Zorya Luhansk, played for a year ...
Was it hard to get into one of the best sports boarding schools in the USSR?
There was a very tough selection at that time. Coaches from all over the Luhansk region brought their best pupils to the regional sports boarding school. I was among those two lucky ones who were brought by my coach from Severodonetsk. I managed to enter, but the second guy did not. He is now playing for the championship of the Luhansk region. In the boarding school, they studied in the same class with Artem Bezrodny, lived in the same room, spent together free time, and then almost at the same time got into "Spartak".
Who opened you to Russia?
I do not know, for me it is still a big mystery ... I then met with my future wife Lena. She went to football, watched games from the podium. After one of the matches, back in the fall, she came up and asked: "Why did all the fans in the stands today say that you are leaving for Spartak, but I don't know anything?" And I myself did not know anything, from Lena I heard about a possible transition for the first time. I was not going anywhere, my contract with Zorya ended only a year later, and suddenly it turned out that Spartak was interested in me. So in January 1998 I ended up in Moscow.
When you left for Russia, no one tried to persuade you to stay in Ukraine?
No. I just left for Spartak, a stronger club. When I took Russian citizenship, there were conversations, but no more. Nobody said that I had sold my Motherland. Everyone with whom I consulted supported, said that I made the right choice. There were conversations behind our backs, but there are always people for such conversations. There is a type of people who are always unhappy with everything.
Didn't the coaches of the Ukrainian national team want to see you on their team?
At first I wanted to play for the Ukrainian youth team, there was a very good team there. The coach of this team, Viktor Kolotov, called me. There were calls from the Ukrainian Football Federation. They persuaded to play for the national team of Ukraine. I hesitated for a very long time, and more and more inclined towards the Ukrainian version. But then I talked with relatives, with Spartak coaches. They said without stating that it would be better to accept the Russian offer: there are more chances to play, here you will be in demand. The national teams of Ukraine play on the model of Dynamo Kiev, while the Russian ones tend to the Spartak style. These styles, as they say in Odessa, are two big differences. It is not so easy to move from one game model to another, it affects the football player's play. Remember the Ukrainian national team player Serhiy Kandaurov, who plays for Benfica. It is immediately obvious that he is a strong player, but he drops out of the national team's game, because he has never encountered the Kiev model of the game.
What style do you like?
I had problems with style since childhood. My father was an ardent fan of Dynamo Kiev, and I liked Spartak better, so we often argued. My father really wanted me to root for Kiev too. Didn't re-educate ...
It turns out that the penchant for Spartak style overpowered Ukrainian roots?
My father is Russian, my mother is Ukrainian. In the days of the Soviet Union, there was no problem for me, whether I was Ukrainian or Russian. Although we lived in Ukraine, we must not forget that everyone in Luhansk spoke Russian. Now there, as far as I know, everyone wants Russian to be the second state language. There, even the signs on the shops are still in Russian. I also have German roots. At one time, my ancestors came to develop Ukrainian ... or Russian lands, then they stayed. Mom's father was a military man, where she just did not live: both in Lugansk and Kamchatka ...
With such a pedigree, it is just right to feel like a citizen of the world.
I think most people feel this way. The film "Shyrli-Myrli" is very indicative in this sense. Remember, there are twin brothers - a Russian, a gypsy, a Jew and a Negro. We are all citizens of the world. All bloods cross somewhere, and I am no exception.
Where do your parents live now?
My mother and sister live in Severodonetsk, and my father died a year and a half ago ... Ukraine now, of course, has a different standard of living. By the way, my sports school is still working. Imagine, the guys there are training with rubber balls. My first coach Alexander Ivanovich Kucherenko left for Russia, and indeed everything best trainers parted. Everything is falling apart.
What is the favorite city of a citizen of the world: Luhansk, Severodonetsk or Moscow?
Most of all I love Moscow. I liked it here at once, and, most importantly, I quickly got used to the metropolis. Favorite place in the capital - Sokolniki. I like walking in a local park with my wife and daughter.
Do the fans not pester you during your walks?
No. They ask how are you doing, wink. Do not stick.
Which country do you associate your future with?
It is difficult to guess, but, most likely, I will stay in Moscow. My wife will probably not mind. Despite the fact that she herself is from Ukraine and graduated from the institute in Lugansk. Yes, and I was transferred from the Lugansk Pedagogical Institute to the Malakhov Sports Academy.
P.S. A conversation with a Russian Ukrainian is taking place at Eduard Mora's Audi. In a German car - a soundtrack to the Russian film "Brother-2". Artem Bezrodny is calling. “I bought a new disc here. Good music, ”says Mor to Bezrodny. By the way, the disc contains songs by Ukrainian groups "Okean Elzy" and "La Manche".
A request from the editors to Mr. Moore and readers: let's reach world standards - both in music and in cinema. And in football.

I LEARNED ABOUT INVITATION TO "SPARTAK" FROM WIFE
 |
Eduard Mor is a typical representative of the Luhansk football trainees of the 90s. Having barely formed as a player, he immediately found himself in Belokamennaya. Another home-grown talent that they could not keep at home. Now Edward is defending the colors of Ramenskoy “Saturn” and, perhaps, in the near future, he will begin his performances for the Russian national team.
While in Luhansk, where he decided to spend the rest of his vacation, Eduard kindly responded to the offer to talk to the "Team" correspondent.
"I was offered to stay in Kiev ..."
I got acquainted with the ball in early childhood, - Eduard recalls. - And seriously "sick" football in the boarding school for Sergei Garkovenko, unfortunately, now deceased.
The first "adult" team was Severodonetsk "Chemist"?
Yes. Since when I entered the sports boarding school I already had an agreement with the then president of the Khimik club, Viktor Dmitrievich Bublik, that after graduation I had to return to Severodonetsk.
At 16, you made your debut in the first league ...
Came out just five minutes in the second half. Honestly, I don’t even remember who then “Chemist” won. Naturally, I wanted to prove myself, but not everything worked out that day, and from the outside I looked pretty funny. The next day, watching the video of the game (especially the last minutes), the guys and I could not help laughing ... That was the beginning.
And how did you get to Zarya?
At that moment, Bublik was going there and offered to try his hand at the Luhansk team. Having weighed well the pros and cons, I agreed. In addition, then Anatoly Kuksov was the mentor of “Zarya”, and I considered it an honor to play with such a coach.
Were there any other suggestions?
There were, and quite good ones. I went to see Dynamo Kiev, trained with a double and left, although they were offered to stay. I just realized that it is easier to get into the "core" of a decent team, having proved yourself in starting lineup another club, and not from the "double", even if the Kiev one.
"A goal and an assist is not bad for a debut."
You remembered about Kuksov. But you never got to work with him.
Unfortunately, when I arrived, other people were already at the helm of the team. The guys later told me that when they returned from the training camp in Spain, the head coach and many players were shown the door. Personally, I am offended that I did not find such an undoubtedly qualified coach as Anatoly Kuksov in the club. And I can argue that these drastic changes were not beneficial.
Remember the first game for Zorya?
Of course. We hosted Metallurg Mariupol, which got into the tower the same year. It was an extremely principled duel, because at that time there was a solid group of Luhansk pupils in Mariupol, and this company was headed by another of our fellow countrymen - Yuri Pogrebnyak. Therefore, the victory (2: 1) was doubly pleasant. And on my account in this game a goal and an assist. In short, the debut can be considered successful.
"Zenith" was too expensive "
How did Spartak come out on you?
Once I came home after training, and my wife asked me: "Is it true that Moscow Spartak is interested in you?" It turns out that she heard the news on the podium. Naturally, I didn't take it seriously. But when the next day the leadership of "Zarya" informed me, I confess, I was somewhat shocked. I never expected to continue my career in Moscow - I had slightly different plans, more modest. On the ointment there was a contract with Kharkiv "Metalist", I managed to go to see St. Petersburg "Zenith" to Byshovets, and it seems that Anatoly Fedorovich was pleased with my game. But, apparently, the amount that Zarya asked for me turned out to be too high for the anti-aircraft gunners. And “Spartak” did not confuse the required figure. And, of course, my joy knew no bounds when I found myself in the camp of Muscovites.
And how did the newly made Spartak player feel?
I was so worried in training with Romantsev that I lost three kilograms in one training session. Every blow, every your pass was closely watched, and I really didn’t want to hit my face in the dirt.
Was it hard to compete with eminent Muscovites?
Naturally not easy. They had already been played among themselves, understood each other perfectly. After all, most of them had experience playing in the Champions League, World and European Championships. I had only the first league of the Ukrainian championship behind me. Therefore, it took me almost a year to grind it in.
The Champions League of the 1999/2000 season is probably remembered for a long time ...
It's clear business. The excitement, the atmosphere of the holiday - such things are not forgotten. But the performance was unsuccessful: the annoying defeats from the French “Bordeaux” and the Prague “Sparta” dashed all our hopes. What is the reason? I will not say that I was not lucky, this excuse is already becoming commonplace, but you yourself saw that the strength of “Spartak” was not inferior to either the French or the Czechs.
"Before training in" Spartak "you need to sleep well and eat well"
Eduard, was it difficult to rebuild from the first league of Ukraine straight to the top division of the Russian championship, European competition?
Very hard. Even the very approach to the training process in “Spartak” is special. For each training session, the players try to tune in like an official game. Before class, you need to sleep well and eat a good meal, otherwise it will be simply unrealistic to withstand the load. All this was at first a curiosity, but then became a habit.
Were you tuned in to the European Cups in a special way?
No. Whether it's the League or the Championship, it's always the same routine before the match. An important game, not an important one - there is no such thing. Romantsev always encourages him to win.
In what rhythm do Spartak players live?
Two days before the game - check in to the base. In the morning - an arbitrary rise, then a short walk is recommended, at 13.00 - lunch, after that again sleep and training, which lasts a little over an hour. At the end of the day, as needed, various therapeutic procedures are carried out. If you take a simple day, then in the evening everyone leaves. The discipline is well established, I would say, excellent. During my two and a half years at Spartak I have never seen anyone fined for a violation. Fines were mainly imposed for being overweight or for being late. But Spartak players are real professionals, and they can prepare themselves at home.
Romantsev is rumored to be not a very talkative person.
Oleg Ivanovich communicates with the guys only in the process of work. Of course, he gives an orientation to the game, guides the training process. And so, basically, he pays attention only to the leaders of the team.
"We broke up with Romaytsev in an amicable way"
How did the Saturn variant come about?
Going to Saturn was my initiative. The Defender is not the episode player. He must have a permanent place in the squad, it is necessary to be in good shape all the time, and there is no way to do without playing practice. Even in spite of the fact that for “Spartak” I played many matches, I still did not feel myself as a player of the “base”, and then the option with “Saturn” just turned up. I am glad that Romantsev understood everything and approved my decision. And we parted in an amicable way, one might say, beautifully. If necessary, “Spartak” will be able to rely on me again.
In Ramenskoye, I was received excellently, according to the conditions - there are no questions. True, the game lacks the famous Spartak “walls” and combination football, nevertheless, I don’t regret this step.
Do you think to return to Ukraine?
Not yet. In Russia now, in my opinion, the level of the championship is higher. In the Ukrainian championship there are two teams that are ready to tackle serious problems, the rest of the clubs are lagging behind both in game and in physical terms. In these components, the Russian teams are stronger. Take the same “Saturn” - the club is firmly on its feet, next season the goal is to get into the UEFA Cup. I think it's easier to get out of the Russian championship abroad.
Let's go back to Spartak. Isn't it a shame to watch the game of your own, albeit former, team in the Champions League from the stands?
I can’t say that it’s offensive. When I watched the League matches, I worried about the Spartak team with all my heart. And after the game in Moscow with the German “Bayer” I went into the locker room (it’s nice that they didn’t fix any obstacles for me) and congratulated the guys on their victory. Still, during my stay at Spartak I have already become related with the team. Heart - I'm in "Spartacus".
With whom of the Spartak players do you have friendly relations?
With everyone. But they are most friendly with my fellow countryman Artem Bezrodny. By the way, in training we trained in pairs, and therefore in the game, our mutual understanding was brought almost to the point of automatism.
"We have something to talk about with Juran"
And what kind of relationship did you have with another fellow countryman - Juran?
Good too. We have a lot to talk about.
What, if not a secret?
About Zarya, what else? We talked with Sergei about how the once glorious team had sunk and how it could have been allowed to turn into just a laughing stock. Previously, the name "Zarya" sounded throughout the Union, playing in Lugansk was considered prestigious. Now it's the other way around ...
So you have no good memories of Zarya?
What is not - that is not. The time that I spent in the Luhansk team cannot be called happy in any way. There were constant conflicts with one of the Zorya coaches, Anatoly Korshikov, who kept making me guilty of all mortal sins. There was one case when, while still playing in the first league, we met at home with the Chernihiv Desna, and, it seems, at the 10th minute, I myself earned a penalty, but, unfortunately, I could not convert it, and in ultimately the match ended in a draw - 1: 1. If we talk about my game, then, in general, I played it at a good level. And after the meeting, Korshikov said, they say, since Mor didn’t hit the penalty spot, the whole team would be left without a bonus. Why say that? I had a lot of similar cases in Lugansk. Of course, the situation in which Zarya found itself was, to put it mildly, deplorable, and the conditions, frankly, were far from normal. But pleasant memories remained of the boarding school.
By the way, do you keep in touch with your former Luhansk teammates?
Necessarily. It's nice that always, when I come to Lugansk, the guys come to visit, we regularly call up, even when I am in Moscow.
Juran, Onopko and many other Luhansk pupils play in the prestigious European championships. What caused, in your opinion, such an increased interest in the players from the Luhansk region?
I often get asked this question. Undoubtedly, this is a great merit of our coaches. Skilled and so productive work in the conditions in which they find themselves can be regarded as a feat.
You have been in Russia for three years. How do the local fans treat you and all those who come from Ukraine?
Fine. Whether you are Ukrainian or Belarusian - there is no difference, as long as you play. In Russia, fans have a slightly different attitude to football. I would like to give you one curious example. There are a lot of gyms in Moscow where ordinary football fans are going to play the ball. If we with Artyom (Bezrodny. - Author's note) want to play with them, there are no problems. For some reason, we have a different attitude in Lugansk. When on vacation it was necessary to somehow keep fit, my friend Oleg Shelayev and I tried to "connect" to various gyms, and the answer to us was: "We will not play with you."
What position do you feel most comfortable in?
My element is the center, regardless of whether it is in defense or in the middle line. True, I do not like to perform the functions of a "personal", it reminds me of a dog running after him, constantly biting. This role is not for me. But if I happen to receive such instructions from the coach, I will not object.
Are injuries often troubling?
Fortunately, they pass me by. So, on trifles, it happens. At one time, Beskov liked to say: "If your ankle is dislocated, it's the same as if you caught a cold." This phrase has taken root in the Spartak environment. And Romantsev once dropped: "If you woke up and nothing hurts, you either died or finished football." Such are the costs of the profession.
"I respected Viktor Kolotov very much and before accepting the offer
Russian youth team ", did not sleep for several nights ..."
Let's talk about one more page in your biography. About the youth team of Russia. First, Bezrodny refused to play for Ukraine, then you. Weren't there any proposals from the Ukrainian federation?
They began to enroll when he was already in Moscow. Constantly called from Kiev, persuaded. He dialed my phone number and Victor Kolotov, unfortunately, he is no longer with us. I respected him very much, considered him an interesting interlocutor. Kolotoe offered me a place in the national team. At the same time, there was an opportunity to play for the Russian youth team. Before making a choice, I hesitated for a very long time. Do not think that it was easy for me - I did not sleep for several nights. I chose Russia because I was really needed there. In addition, I understood that it would be especially difficult to get into the national team of Ukraine from Moscow later. Take Dima Parfenov - an excellent defender, but for some reason he doesn't make it to the national team, and if he played for Russia - I am convinced that he would play for the “base”. Relatives also advised me to choose Russia. When they called from Kiev, I apologized. It seemed to me that my choice was treated with understanding. This was an important moment for me.
Didn't you feel any pressure from Romantsev?
There was no pressure at all. There was only advice to which I decided to heed.
If it's not a secret, who were you rooting for in the Russia-Ukraine match?
What is there to hide - for Russia. Indeed, in case of victory, I had the opportunity to get to the European Championship. By the way, two hours earlier, as part of the Russian youth team, I had a chance to enter the field against the Ukrainian national team. I did not experience any special feelings. I am well acquainted with many guys, in particular, I studied together with Gennady Zubov in the same class, I know Yuri Tselykh from Zarya, and I stayed on good terms with many others. It was nice to see everyone. But friendship is friendship, and play is play.
How do you assess your performances for the youth team?
We played three qualifying matches “to zero”. (Armenia - 6: 0, Iceland - 2: 0, Ukraine - 2: 0. - Author's note). For a player of my role, this is a good result. But the impression was somewhat blurred after play-offs with the Slovaks, in which we lost - 0: 1.
Why do you think there is a migration of players from Ukraine to Russia and vice versa?
This is a natural process. As for the national team, it is easier to get into it from the club of the same country where you are in full view all the time. Look, the same Brazilians who play for Spartak want to defend the colors of the Russian national team. People want to be appreciated.
"I have a lot of desires ..."
Edward, what else would you like to achieve in football?
First, get into the national team and win something serious with it. I would like to play in foreign clubs. There are many desires ...
Are you one of those lucky ones?
Rather, the opposite is true. All that I have been striving for is the result of hard work. Everywhere I had to punch everything myself. When I entered the sports boarding school, I spent a whole year on the bench. However, after training, he stayed and drove the ball. They laughed at me then, but it seems to me that they respected me in my heart. As a result, he graduated from the group as one of the leaders. When I got to “Chemist”, I also sat in reserve at first. As a result of hard work at the age of eighteen, I was not only in the "base", but I was already trusted to take the penalty. Because of their youth, many are given big advances, but if you do not increase the requirements for yourself, nothing will work. Football then returns everything. There are many such examples. Take the same Oleg Shelaev - he was no different in childhood, but now he plays key roles in Dnipropetrovsk Dnipro. The same can be said about Semak.
Can you add the past season to your asset?
In general, the season was good. I won back, in my opinion, stably. There were mistakes, of course, without them there are no mistakes.
Have you already scored the most important goal of your career?
 |
- Not yet. Hopefully everything is ahead. True, last year I would like to highlight a penalty kick against Lokomotiv Moscow. (“Spartak” lost - 2: 3).
Was there an idol in childhood?
He loved to watch the filigree technique of Alexander Zavarov. I just admired his skill.
And who are you now using as an example?
Probably Zidane. His very manner of playing, his stunning vision of the field cannot but captivate. It has everything a modern footballer needs.
Love at first sight
How do you spend your free time?
After the end of the season, he rested with his family in Thailand. Then he stayed in the Luhansk region. Basically, I try to devote most of my time to my family.
Tell us a little about your family.
I met my wife Lena in the hostel of the Lugansk Pedagogical Institute. She studied at the Faculty of History (by the way, she graduated this summer). As soon as we met, we liked each other very much. We can say love at first sight. And after a couple of months they got married. Now daughter Christina is two and a half years old - already a Muscovite.
What do you do besides football?
I study - I graduate from the Malakhov Sports Academy. And from my hobbies - I like to play bowling, I like to read, watch TV.
What are your plans for the future?
For now, I associate my further fate with Saturn, with which I have a contract for 1.5 years. And then it will be seen ...

"ROMANTSEV FOR ME - A STAR OF THE FIRST VALUE!"
"Championship.com", 27.01.2012
Former defender of “Spartak” and “Saturn” Eduard More spoke about plans to become a coach, the exclusivity of Romantsev, a disastrous weekend and the shortcomings of the current “Spartak”. I talked with Mor in Turkey, where he, as part of the HST training group, was preparing for the exams to obtain a coaching license. During his playing career, he was remembered for his performance at Spartak, from where he later moved to Saturn. Mor stood out on the field with a technical, albeit somewhat viscous, manner of play. He is going to teach his future wards combination football.
Eduard V. Mor(October 4, 1977, Selidovo, Donetsk region, Ukrainian SSR, USSR) - Russian footballer, defender.

An excerpt characterizing Mor, Eduard Vladimirovich
(About the remaining Occitan Warriors-Cathars (Templars) can be found in the book "Children of the Sun", which will include excerpts from the original letters of Count Miropoix, the Warrior-Perfect, who defended the fortress of Montsegur in 1244, who survived the witness of the death of the Montsegur Qatar . And also excerpts from the real records of the Carcassonne Inquisition and the secret archives of the Vatican).- So, after the death of the Golden Mary, the Cathars seemed to be divided? On the "new" Qatar and the old warriors of the Magdalene?
- You're right, Isidora. Only the "new" ones, unfortunately, all died on the terrible papal bonfires ... This is what the "holy" church was trying to achieve.
- Why didn't the Templemen come back? Why didn't they conquer Occitania? - I exclaimed bitterly.
- Because there was no one to win back, Isidora, - Sever whispered quietly, - there were very few Templars who left. The rest died defending the "new" Qatar. Remember, I told you - each castle and town was defended by about a hundred Knights. Against tens of thousands of the Pope's Crusaders. It was too much even for the strongest ...
The new "Perfect" ones did not defend themselves, giving themselves and others to extermination. Although, if they helped, the Empire of Light would probably still flourish, and you could still meet living Qatar ... After all, the Perfect ones burned in hundreds (only 400 of them burned down in Beziers!) - together they would have defeated any army! .. But they didn't want to. And the Templars died for them. Who, even realizing that they would lose, could not calmly watch how old people, women and children die ... How the best burn out ... They burn out because of the stupidest lie.
- Tell me, Sever, did you ever get to the North country Golden Maria? - again wanting to change the course of the conversation, I asked.
Sever carefully peered into my face for a long time, as if wishing to penetrate into my very soul. Then he smiled sadly and said quietly:
- You are very quick-witted, Isidora ... But I cannot tell you this. I can only answer yes. She visited the sacred Land of her ancestors ... the Land of Radomir. She succeeded with the help of the Wanderer. But I no longer have the right to say even to you ... Forgive me.
It was unexpected and strange. Telling me about events that, in my understanding, were much more serious and important, Sever suddenly categorically refused to tell us such a "trifle"! .. Of course, this interested me even more, making me hope that somehow, before I will die, I still have time to find out. Somehow I will have time ...
Suddenly the door to the room swung open - Karaffa appeared on the threshold. He looked surprisingly fresh and content.
- Well, well, well ... Madonna Isidora has guests! .. Very funny. From Meteora herself, if I'm not mistaken? Great North in person! .. Will you introduce me, Isidora? I think it will be very useful to all of us!
And having laughed enough, Karaffa calmly sat down in a chair ...
He received his football education at the sports school in Severodonetsk and then at the Luhansk sports boarding school. The first coach is Sergey Garkovenko. He began his career in the clubs of the first Ukrainian league - first in Severodonetsk “Khimik”, then in Luhansk “Zarya”.
