We met Maksym Zaremskyi by correspondence course. The deputy from the "Servant of the People" party wrote to us with a request to write columns for Rubryka. Rubryka published one of them here and decided to take the opportunity to learn a little more about its author. Read in the interview what happened and how an athlete deputy really is.

— Maksym, we know that you have three higher educations: in law, sports, and public administration. In Wikipedia photo, you're pictured with a bunch of medals. Which came first: sports or law?

— For the last 6 years I've worked in leading government positions, but sports occurred during my studies as a lawyer, it' my first education. For every guy, man, it gives a character, and I think that's the essence of sports. It gave me a core foundation that I can now apply in a variety of areas. Now for me, sport is a public activity. I just want to promote it and involve people in a healthy lifestyle.

Everything started at an amateur level when I was a young guy and wanted to improve my strength. So I got acquainted with weightlifting and powerlifting. I'm a prize-winner of the district and regional competitions, and among my pupils, there's even a world champion in arm wrestling, more than 20 athletes are region champions and national champions. That is, it is a dream that has grown into opening a gym in the village of Berehomet, which is free for visitors. Also, together with the community leader, I made a free group, where the community's youth has an alternative to bad habits and can expand their worldview and not only train the body, but also develop spiritually and morally.
