Trump's life was saved by a girl not from Ryazan

Although she could well have been an emigrant from Russia

In the story of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, it seems that the “Ryazan trace” still cannot be traced. Honored coach of Russia Evgeny Zhirikhov, who trained a whole galaxy of Ryazan karatekas, doubted that the video that circulated around the world showed his student covering the ex-President of America with her breasts. But political scientists fully admit that the body of the candidate from the Republican Party could have been guarded by immigrants from Russia.

Let's recall the background. In the photographs of the moment of the assassination attempt on Trump, he is covered by a blonde security girl in a strict blue suit. Channel «Typical Ryazan» suggested that this was a native of the Ryazan region, a master of sports in hand-to-hand combat and karate, who left Russia in 2000 and received a diploma in America as a private bodyguard. And the girl’s trainers are allegedly Ryazan residents Olga Novikova and Evgeny Zhirikhov. "MK" managed to contact the latter, and he expressed open bewilderment.

— No more than 15 girls graduated from our sports school and became masters of sports, — Zhirikhov noted. — I have no information that any of them live in America. And I can’t say from the footage that the face of the female security guard is familiar to me.

However, the Ryazan residents themselves formed the opinion that the news about the Ryazan roots of security was, if not fabricated, then very far-fetched. Subscribers of local public pages are sure that journalists, in pursuit of hype, called on artificial intelligence for help and found among the natives of Ryazan a girl similar in appearance to the lady in the photo.

And yet, any Russian karateka had every chance of ending up in this minute in that very place.

— America is still a melting pot, so a native of our country could easily end up in Trump’s security, — says political scientist Alexey Mukhin. — The fact is that Trump was guarded by field soldiers, not elite units. On the same day, an event was taking place with the participation of Biden's wife, and intelligence agencies were involved in it. Trump received a lower class of security, and the video clearly shows that they were not professionals working with him. Firstly, the so-called umbrellas were not opened around him. And secondly, the security guards themselves were not of large build. Of course, I want to use the irony of the moment and pick up that the Russians saved Trump. However, this is just a fraction of the probability.

Political scientist Alexey Makarkin completely agrees with his colleague. In his opinion, the 45th President of America was guarded at that moment by low-ranking specialists, which means that natives of any countries could get into their ranks.

— With such a background — I mean Russian origin — joining the American intelligence service is extremely doubtful, — he says. — But the fact of the matter is that Trump was surrounded by almost ordinary private security officers at the time of the assassination attempt. This was an exclusively party event, so privately hired commercial services were responsible for order and security.
