Kostya, it all started after the first won vote – Korolev submitted his application.

No, Dima. It all started with the CIS being on the verge of collapse, EKB appeared, and only then did Volgograd burst in. The first vote already launched a process that could not be stopped. And I don't even want to talk about Sir Vigo's spectacular entry. And then the "wishes" of certain individuals burned all bridges to compromise.
