For example, I am a fan of the New York Islanders. Isles goaltender, Ilya Sorokin, has often been the player who keeps the team in the game. I also prefer Sorokin on the Isles over the Czech goaltender David Rittich. Rittich cannot even be the number one goalie for the Isles, and I would rather see Semyon Varlamov return to the Islanders from Bridgeport, as Varlamov was also better than Rittich.
In electronic music, there are also artists and figures whom I admire, even if others might see this as conflicting with the opinions I expressed after seeing Krainska’s gesture.
What I value most, however, is the willingness to stand by one’s principles. This is something I saw in both Sofia Krainska and Varvara Chubarova, whose refusal to compromise their convictions earned my respect.
