Merlin, no offense. In my opinion, if you were about one and a half times less prominent in all three of these topics, Volgograd would have won without a doubt. But you keep showing up and pushing. You push with your authority, experience, skill, whatever. And in doing so, you "devalue" Volgograd's application, which you are lobbying for (I don't think anyone has any illusions about that). I agree with you about the "organizer." It's best to never have anything to do with Vig, and I think that's no secret to anyone. But with your constant provocation, you're only making things worse – you're raising unnecessary hype. Volgograd "won." You have nothing to worry about.
