They can already be friends, there is no war in music.
The war should never have started. They are all the same people.
You mean we are all the same people?
Congratulations to Roman!
Everyone should know. Those guys are competition hunters. Roman and Evgeny in particular are competition experts who participate in almost all international competitions. Probably, if you have participated in international competitions, there are few people who have not seen those names on the list of participants in international competitions around the world. I am also one of those competition hunters, but nationality is not important at all. It doesn’t matter if someone is Israeli, Arab, or even stateless. It only matters whether that person is a match that surpasses my level or not. For international competition hunters, the only thing that matters is whether or not they make it to the next round. They don’t care about anything else. They just plan their strategy, think about which judges there are, and what kind of piece they have to play to definitely advance to the next round. International competitions are clearly sports, fights, and battles. In order to survive, you have to use all means except cheating. People who don’t participate in the contest or say useless things like “Ha! The Russian contestant beat the Ukrainian contestant” only give meaning to it.
