For many years, boxers from the USA unconditionally dominated in the professional box in the professional box in a heavyweight weight category, no one and closely submitted to champion belts. However, the Klitschko brothers broke this tradition, gradually and leisurely rising to the top. Over time, nobody perceived them seriously, considering the fighters with typical people from amateur boxing - static and predictable. However, working persistently on its strong parties, they gradually reign in the world ring, and the last ten years Vladimir and Vitaly Klitschko were methodically knocked out all their competitors.
Officer children
The parents of the legendary boxers were immigrants from Ukraine, however, the genus of the father's activity, Vladimir Rodionovich, forced to travel to the republics of the Soviet Union. He was a professional military, by the end of his career it was accustomed to the title of Major General of the Air Force of Ukraine and the post of military attache at the Ukrainian Embassy abroad. Mom, Nadezhda Ulyanovna, dedicated to the life of the school, where he worked as a teacher of junior classes.
Many are interested in the question of where the Klitschko brothers were born. Both were born in Central Asian republics with a difference of five years. Vitaly was born in a small village in Kyrgyzstan in 1971, Vladimir - in the city of Semipalatinsk, which in Kazakhstan.
High textured guys could not do not play sports. Vladimir immediately decided with his specialization and from 14 years he trained in the boxing section.
Vitaly was interested in different types of martial arts. Finally he stopped at kickboxing, where he achieved significant success.
On his account 35 fights, in most of which he won, including 22 - ahead of schedule. For twenty-five years, he became the world champion six times, and four times among professionals.
So in different ways they started their career brothers Klitschko. Who older than them, he later came to boxing after the brother. In 1995, Vitaly decided to "reboot" his career and chose a boxing ring.
Amateur career
Starting from juniors, Vladimir showed the highest results. The first international award is the Gold of the Junior European Championship of 1993, when he has not yet achieved impressive dimensions and performed in the first heavy weight category. There were hurt defeats.
In 1994, he gave way to Cubans Nunese in the final of the Junior world championship. Moving for an adult, Vladimir began with victory at the World Championships among the military. Then, in several major tournaments, he remained without the main award, losing in the quarterfinals of the world championship and giving way to Alexei Lezein's continental championship in the bus finals. By that time he had already grown, healed and performed heavyweight.
By 1995, Vitaly joined him, and the Klitschko brothers together performed in one weight category. This, accordingly, deprived one of them the opportunity to take part in major tournaments, as the country could put only one fighter into each weighing category. Before the coaching headquarters, a serious dilemma got up - whom to send a four-year cycle to the main tournament, 1996 Olympics.
At that time, at the same time, the Klitschko brothers were located. Boxing, which showed Vitaly, looked convincing, and began to prepare it for competitions. However, in the doping-sample, the athlete found traces of anabolic steroids, and Vladimir had to replace his brother.
On the way to the final of the main tournament in his amateur career, Vladimir took Revenge from his recent offender Alexei Lezin, defeating that in the semifinals. In a decisive battle, a boxer of Tonga Paea Wolfgram was blocked.
"Bag diet" in professional boxing
Conquered the Olympic title, Vladimir Klitschko did not make sense to continue amateur career. This decision was supported by Vitaly. Soon the Klitschko brothers decided to test themselves in a tough world of professional boxing.
Like many other European boxers, Ukrainians chose Germany to develop their careers. One of the most authoritative promotion companies at that time was Universum Box-Promotion, with which Vladimir and Vitaly Klitschko and concluded a contract. The coach of the guys was the authoritative German specialist Fritz Zdunkek.
The debut in professional boxes from both boxers took place simultaneously in 1996. The first batons were held against frankly weak opponents, in most of which the number of lesions prevailed over victories in their asset. Vitaly, for example, all his ten first fights won knockout, even without bringing the case to the third round.
Only in the eleventh duel, His rival Hilbert Williamson lasted until the 6th round, while visiting Nokdaun several times.
Approximately the battles of Vladimir Klitschko also looked. A more or less serious rival of Ukrainian became Carlos Monroe, who imposed a dirty battle and caused him a dissection with his head in the Sixth Round.
In general, the Klitschko brothers did not make a special impression on specialists and were considered another "Eurochampilations", that is, by boxers who will hold their careers against little-known opponents in few people who are interesting fights.
The first titles of Vladimir
A few years later, accumulating a sufficient number of victories in his asset, Ukrainian boxers began to fight for various belts. The first title match of Vladimir took place in February 1998.
The intercontinental world version of the WBC version was not too honorable to Konou. Marcus Makintyre resisted not too long, and in the third round without special efforts Klitschko - a boxer, a significantly superior enemy, knocked out that. After that, he spent several successful protection, also without any special problems, separated with applicants.
In 1998, the first defeat of Vladimir also took place. The most offensive for him is that it was the first fight who spent Klitschko in his homeland. Kiev became the city where he was going to fight with Ross Pudriti.
And in this battle affected the unwillingness of Vladimir to spend a long fight. Easy to deal with the previous rivals in the first rounds, he and against Pucriti sought to solve quick knockout.
However, Ross survived and brought the case to the last segments. A large and heavy Ukrainian boxer is very strongly exhaled for the tenth round, it came to the fact that he visited Nokdaun twice. In the next round, everything was repeated, and Vladimir's seconds stopped the beating of their boxer.
In the future, the Ukrainian learned lessons from his defeat, and the following battles of Vladimir Klitschko ended with victories. Among them were fights with Zoran Bezhechchich, a strong German Axel Schulz, a long-standing familiar Poea Wolfgramm.
Feats Vitaly
The Senior of the Klitschko brothers began chase the belts with the title of the Intercontinental World Champion of WBO. In her first title duel, Vitaly had to meet with the first serious opponent. However, the American Dickkey Ryan did not resist too long and was already knocked out in the fifth round.
Soon, in battle against Mario Shisser, he mined the title of European champion, conducted several successful protection in the future.
However, all these belts were not too prestigious and did not give Vitaly special fame. Everything had to change the real championship fight. In 1999, this duel took place. The future mayor of Kiev came out for a fight for the title of world champion. True, from the four leading boxing organizations WBO was not as high as the rest, but it was already a significant step forward. The opponent Vitaly got also serious - Herbie Heid, a valid champion, fast and dexterous fighter, who suffered only one defeat for his career.
In the first round of the battle, it seemed that the right of critics of the Klitschko brothers was prevailed. The Englishman moved faster, applied accurate blows and acted more boldly and non-standard than a huge and vague Ukrainian. However, in the second round he ran into the strongest cross, after that Vitaly intercepted the initiative. Defend a discouraged opponent was already a matter of technology, and soon the right huk Klitschko sent Hyda to knockout.
Thus, Klitschko installed at the same time and the record for the smallest number of rounds along the way from the novice to the champion, which was held since Tyson. After the victory, Vitaly spent several successful protection until he ran into his full antagonist in the ring.
Criticism of the Klitschko Brothers Style
The first years of the Klitschko brothers promoters did not rush to forcing events and did not let their wards for battles against truly serious rivals. Even after a long series of convincing victories, the attitude towards the Ukrainians was rather skeptical. They seemed too slow, intense. Coming out of amateur sports, they continued to act in the ring on the learned schemes and stamps, there were no diversity in their actions.
Tactical Arsenal and Vitaly, and Vladimir was quite monotonous. Using the growth and length of the hands, they kept rivals at a distance of their powerful Jebami and sought not to let them close to themselves.
They bauxed monotonously and predictably, but in the fights against weak rivals it was still operational.
A completely different brothers Klitschko began to look like in the ring when they had to defend their titles and fight against real professionals capable of sharp explosive actions and non-standard attacks.
The first boxer from this series was Chris Berd. As a day, the American was one of the most interesting and non-standard heavyweight boxers of those years. The leaving of a heavyweight weight, he was very high-speed and sharp, it was very difficult to get into it, he, like no one else knew how to shudge and put an enemy on the laugh. However, the reverse side of the medal was the lack of powerful power of Bird. His blows, as experts expressed, were not able to break the eggshell.
All this manifested itself in the duel Vitaly and Chris Bird. The Ukrainian acted in the usual manner for himself, throwing away distant strikes, but the deft American would easily shy away from them and once again caused unlock, but accurate blows. So Vitaly lost for the first time in his career.
Revenge for brother and lesions of Vladimir
If the boxer won one of the Klitschko brothers, he had to prepare for battle with the second of them. I did not escape this and Chris Berd. Vladimir Klitschko in 2000 met with an American to take the WBO belt and take revenge on her older brother. This time there was no underestimation of the enemy. Vladimir made a bet on its advantage in strength and, not paying attention to the unlock blows of Bird, once again sought to knock that breathing and sell it.
This tactic reached the goal, in the ninth and eleventh rounds, Vladimir sent Chris to Nokdown and achieved victory over points.
After becoming a world champion, Klitschko Jr. conducted a number of successful protection, acting in the usual manner and avoiding truly star rivals. So it lasted until 2003. Kori Sanders, a boxer from South Africa, was the most real dark horse, many considered him another passing stage on the path of Vladimir. However, the South African was the most real professional boxer, acted aggressively, unusual and threw unexpected lateral blows from terrible power.
Vladimir, acting monotonous and straightforward, was not ready for such a manner of battle. In addition, he is not used to being sent to Nokdown. This is exactly what Sanders did at the end of the first round, and I put the Ukrainian with a swing - a blow from the ancient boxing past, which in modern sports almost did not use.
In the second round, Kori finally suppressed Klitschko, and after the fourth Nokdaun, the referee stopped the beating of Vladimir.
After the defeat, Vladimir spent several successful fights. The next passing rival was to be Lymont Brewster. This heavyweight did not constitute anything special, and the first four rounds Vladimir dominated. However, then at inexplicably reasons, he dramatically began to lose force, and the American boxer began to beat Klitschko until the referee stopped the battle.
Revival of Ukrainian heavyweights
The defeats gradually harden the brothers, they worked on being more diverse, stop acting schematically.
One of the decisive moments in the career of Vitaly was a duel with Lennox Lewis. Finally, he had the opportunity to meet with the most real superstar of world boxing in battle for the title of world champion in the prestigious version. Despite the defeat of Vitaly acted very nicely and at the time of the battle stopped the glasses. Just because of the fact that Vitaly received a serious dissection after the strike of Lewis, the fight was stopped, and the victory was awarded to the current world champion.
After Lewis's departure from sports, the path to the belt was opened, and Vitaly began to go upstairs. You should allocate a championship fight with Kori Sanders of 2004. South African acted as aggressively as against Vladimir, and Vitaly was on the verge of disaster. However, he pulled out, and after the opponent exhausted, he himself, in turn, began to beat Sanders.
After that, the most real era of Klitschko brothers came in the world box. In the absence of boxers equal to Mike Tyson, no one could truly compete with the Ukrainian fighters. Methodically and not in a hurry year after year they collected the championship belts in all prestigious weight categories. On the way to the tops, they defeated the current champions - Ruslan Chagaeva, Sultan Ibrahimbekova.
After leaving Sport, Vitaly Vladimir remained the strongest heavyweight boxer. In 2013, an attempt to interrupt the Decade of the Klitschko brothers made Alexander Povetkin, however, with a serious advantage of the Klitschko junior won Russian.
Only in 2015, Tyson Fury managed to overcome Vladimir. After scandalous care from the Sports of the British world crowns in boxing became free. Duel Vladimir Klitschko and Anthony Joshua April 29, 2017 should decide which of them more worthy of titles. All boxing lovers await him with impatience.
Personal life
Vladimir Klitschko did not differ in constancy in his relationship. He met with the Kiev model Alexander Avizova, Ivon Caterfeld, with another model of Alena Gerber.
Now he lives with Hayden Panewiere. In 2014, they had a daughter called Kayei Evdokia.
Wife Vitaly Klitschko is at least a charismatic figure than her husband. Natalia Klitschko (in Major - Egorova) is a famous Ukrainian fashion model and an athlete in the past. During the marriage, the pair had three children - the sons of Egor-Daniel and Maxim, as well as the daughter of Elizabeth-Victoria. Wife Vitaly Klitschko actively supports her husband in his political and social activities. Sometimes she even overshadow him with his personality on this front.
Klitschko-politician
Having left the sport, the eldest of two brothers decided to risk and make a political career. Initially, he focused his efforts in the capital of Kiev, he was elected to the city parliament, participated in the election to the post of mayor. Soon he felt a nationwide policy. Based on his loud name, good financial capabilities The future mayor of Kiev creates its own party "Stroke". With her, he goes to the elections to the Verkhovna Rada in 2012 and receives a good percentage of voters, winning 42 places in the country's parliament.
Vitaly Klitschko was an active supporter and member of the Euromaidan. After the overthrow of Yanukovych, he stated his intention to run for the presidency in 2014, but shortly before the elections made an unexpected statement in which he refused the struggle and expressed support to Peter Poroshenko.
In response to this courtesy, the former boxer was able to act freely in the capital and with the support of the president to go to the election of the head of the city, which he did. The fact that ten years ago seemed a joke, accomplished: Vitaly Klitschko - mayor.

Excerpt characterizing brothers Klitschko
One soldier rose and went to the fifth company."So then laughter," he said, returning. - Two Hranzuza stuck. One frown at all, and the other is so crushing, the bound! Songs playing.
- Oh about? Go to see ... - Several soldiers headed for the fifth company.
The fifth company stood beside the forest. The huge fire burned brightly in the midst of snow, lighting the trees aggravated by the branches.
In the middle of the night, the soldiers of the fifth company heard the steps in the forest in the forest in the snow and the chrysk bust.
"Guys, Veded," said one soldier. All raised their heads, listened, and from the forest, in the bright light of the fire, two, holding themselves for each other, human, weirdly dressed figures.
These were two french hiding in the forest. Hoarsely speaking something on incomprehensible soldiers, they approached the fire. One was higher than the growth, in an officer hat, and seemed quite weakened. Going to the fire, he wanted to sit down, but fell to the ground. Another, small, chunky, bangbed on the cheeks of the soldier, was stronger. He raised his comrade and, pointing to his mouth, said something. The soldiers were surrounded by the French, unkind the sore of the chinel and both brought cereals and vodka.
The french officer who weakened was Rambal; The scarf tied was his runner Morel.
When Moror drank vodka and milked the pot of Kashi, he suddenly looked painfully and began not ceasing to say something that did not understand his soldiers. Rambal refused meal and silently lay on the campfire, meaningless red eyes looking at the Russian soldiers. Occasionally he published stretching moan and shook again. Morel, showing on the shoulders, inspired by the soldiers that it was an officer and that it should be heated. The officer Russian, who came to the fire, sent to ask the colonel, will not hesitate to warm the French officer to him; And when they returned and said that the colonel ordered to bring an officer, Rambala passed that he would go. He got up and wanted to go, but stunned and fell, if the standing soldier did not support him.
- What? You will not? - Mockingly winning, said one soldier, referring to Rambala.
- E, Fool! What you lie underess! That then the man, right, man, - heard from different sides reproach to the jokes of a soldier. Rambalar was surrounded, rose two in their hands, catching up with them, and carried to the hut. Rambal hugged the neck of soldiers and when he was incurred, he spoke complaints about:
- Oh, Nies Braves, Oh, Mes Bons, Mes Bons Amis! Voila des hommes! Oh, Mes Braves, Mes Bons Amis! [About well done! About my good, good friends! Here are people! About my good friends!] - And, like a child, headed on the shoulder one soldier.
Meanwhile, Morel was sitting on a better place surrounded by soldiers.
Morel, a small chunky Frenchman, with inflamed, leaking eyes, linked along the woman with a handkerchief over a cap, was dressed in female hubby. He, apparently, Zahmelev, hugging the hand of a soldier who was sitting near him, sang a hoarse, a broken voice of the French song. The soldiers kept behind the sides, looking at him.
- Well, well, well, teach, how? I will be a variety. How? .. - said the joker songwriter, who hugged the Morel.
Vive Henri Quatre,
VIVE CE ROI VAILLANTI -
[Long live Heinrich Fourth!
Long live this brave king!
etc. (French song)]
Moror lost, winking the eye.
SE DIBLE A QUATRE ...
- Vivarika! VIF SERUVAR! Sidlyablik ... - repeated the soldier, waving his hand and really catching the entrance.
- Vish, deftly! Go Go! .. - rose from different sides, joyful laughter. Morel, wrinkling, laughed too.
- Well, Valya still, more!
QUI EUT Le Triple Talent,
De Boire, De Battre,
ET D "ETRE UN VERT GALANT ...
[Who had a triple talent,
drink, fight
And be a courtesy ...]
- But after all, also folded. Well, well, walking! ..
"Kyu ..." he said with effort. "Kew Yu Yu ..." he pulled out, diligently honing his lips, "Lethardtal, de Bu de Ba and deprivagala," he lost.
- Ay, important! That's how Hrantzuz! Oh ... go go! - Well, still you want?
- give him porridge then; After all, it will not be soon with hunger.
Again he was given porridge; And Morel, laughing, began for the third bowler. Joyful smiles stood on all the faces of young soldiers looking at the Morel. Old soldiers who considered indecent to engage in such trifles, lay on the other side of the fire, but occasionally, lifting on the elbow, looked at the ferret with a smile.
"Also people," said one of them, dodging the chinel. - And the wormwood is growing on their root.
- oo! Lord, Lord! How Starry, Passion! To the frost ... - and everything calmed down.
Stars, as if knowing that no one would see them, spiked in the Black Sky. That flashes, it is impoverished, then shuddering, they are happily about something joyful, but mysteriously pulled together.

French troops evenly melted in mathematically correct progression. And that transition through Berezina, about which so much was written, there was only one of the intermediate destruction of the French army, and not at all a decisive episode of the campaign. If they wrote so much about Berezin, then from the French, this happened only because on the Berezinsky disaster bridge, undergoing the French army before evenly, here suddenly grouped at one moment and in one tragic spectacle, which everyone remained in memory. From the side of the Russians they talked so much and wrote about Berezin only because they were away from the war of war, in St. Petersburg, the plan (Pfule) was drawn up in the strategic West of Napoleon on the Berezine River. Everyone was assured that everything will actually act exactly as in the plan, and therefore insisted that it was the Berezinskaya crossing the French. In essence, the results of Berezinsky crossing were much less frantic for the French loss of guns and prisoners than the red, as the numbers show.
The only meaning of the Berezinsky crossing is that this crossing is obviously and undoubtedly proved the fart of all the plans for cutting and the justice of the only possible, as required by both Kutuzov and all troops (mass) of the action - only following the enemy. The crowd of the French fled with the constantly increasing force of speed, with all the energy aimed at achieving the goal. She fled like a wounded beast, and it could not be on the road. It proved not so much a correction device, how much movement at bridges. When the bridges were broken, unarmed soldiers, Moscow residents, women with children who were in the foreman, - all under the influence of the inertia's strength did not give up, but ran ahead in the boat, in frills.
The desire it was reasonable. The position and running and haunting was equally bad. Staying with His, each in disaster hoped for the help of a comrade, for a certain place occupied by him between his. Survived by Russians, he was in the same position of the disaster, but he became a lower step in the section Satisfying the needs of life. The French did not need to have loyal information that half of the prisoners, with whom they did not know what to do, despite all the wishes of the Russians to save them - died from cold and hunger; They felt that it could not be otherwise. The most fournal Russian chiefs and hunters to the French, the French in the Russian service could not do anything for the prisoners. The French ruined the disaster in which the Russian army was. It was impossible to take away bread and a dress from the hungry, the necessary soldiers to give away not harmful, not hated, not guilty, but just unnecessary French. Some and did it; But it was only an exception.
Nazada was the faithful death; There was hope ahead. Ships were burned; There was no other salvation, except for the cumulative escape, and all the forces of the French were directed to this cumulative flight.
The further the French fled, the more fortunate there were their remnants, especially after Berezina, for which, as a result of the St. Petersburg Plan, had special hopes, the stronger the passions of Russian bosses, accused of each other and especially Kutuzov. Believing that the failure of the Berezinsky Petersburg plan will be attributed to him, dissatisfaction with them, contempt for him and teasing over it is stronger and stronger. Towering and contempt, of course, of course, was expressed in respect, in the form in which Kutuzov could not and ask what he was accused of. He did not speak seriously; I repent of him and asking for his permission, did the type of execution of the sad rite, and behind his back it was winking and at every step they tried to deceive him.
All these people, precisely because they could not understand him, was recognized that there was nothing to say with the old man; that he will never understand the deepness of their plans; That he will answer his phrases (it seemed to them that these were only phrases) about the golden bridge, about the fact that abroad could not come with a crowd of vagrants, etc. It was all heard from him. And all that he said: For example, what you need to wait for a provision that people without boots, it was all so simple, and everything they offered was so difficult and clever that it was obvious to them that he was stupid And old, and they were not domineering, brilliant commander.
In particular, after connecting the armies of a brilliant admiral and hero of St. Petersburg Wittgenstein, this mood and a staff gossip reached the highest limits. Kutuzov saw it and, sighing, shook only shoulders. Only once, after Berezina, he was angry and wrote Benigsen, who informed the sovereign, the following letter:
"Because of the painful seizures, please, your high-speed, with the receipt of this, go to Kaluga, where and expect further commands and appointments from his imperial majesty."
But after the removal of Benigsen, the Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich came to the army, who made the campaign and removed from the Army Kutuzov. Now the Grand Duke, having arrived at the army, told Kutuzov about the displeasure of the emperor's sovereign for the weak successes of our troops and for the slowness of movement. The sovereign the emperor himself intended to arrive at the army.
Rabbi Khodos Eduard Davidovich is the head of the religious Jewish community of Kharkov, the author of 20 books, on the basis of which a unique "People's Library" was created. About 1000 of its departments operate throughout Ukraine. Each cell of 15 agitators' founders filling out a questionnaire, based on the author of the book Fund, conducts educational work in the region. Thus, a multi-millionth army of readers was created. So the efforts of the tireless researchers of the "Jewish question" Ukraine lost national pride: two Ukrainian cotton with a pronounced Ukrainian surname Klitschko overnight turned into grandchildren of the Jewish grandmother living in Germany and wearing the surname whose root is the word "Klitsch ", I am equally sounding both in German and Yiddish. Two brother-heroes - almost the only national heritage remained at the once rich and strong Ukraine, - suddenly turned into the "pride of the Jewish people" and began to personify the "Jewish presence in boxing".
E.Khodos: Who is the Nationality Brothers Klitschko?
Who by nationality Vitaly Klitschko? (Video)
On July 13, Vladimir Rodionnovich Klitschko died in Kiev after a long illness in the 65th year of life - the father of two world champions in boxing, Vitaly and Vladimir Klitschko.
Vladimir Rodionovich participated in the elimination of the consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl NPP. Without severe consequences, the Klitschko-Elder found cancer."Vladimir Rodionovich was a model of honor and valor for his children, taught them good, justice, perseverance and will to win, what they repeatedly spoke to the world", "Said the eldest of the sons of the deceased, Vitaly.
Vladimir Klitschko was born on April 24, 1947 in the family of Rodion Petrovich Klitschko and Tamara Efimonna Ethinzon.
Vladimir Rodionovich Klitschko was a pilot. Military, on debt of service he, together with his family, a lot of challenge in the light. In Kiev, his family moved from Czechoslovakia. Here, the sons of Vladimir Rodionovich finished school. He completed his career with the military attache of Ukraine in Germany in the rank of major general.
In the local history museum of the village of Wilsans of the Cherkasy region, the whole hall is dedicated to Klitschko's brothers. Tourists come to the museum not only from all over Ukraine, but even from Germany and the United States. The most valuable exhibit is considered to be written on the canvas the genealogical tree of the genus Klitschko.
"Grandfather of the brothers, Rodion, was the son of a poor peasant Peter Klitschko, - told in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda, the head of the Museum of Lyudmila Tymoshenko. - He was the only one from this line Klitschko, who, as they say, was embarrassed in people - finished the school of the police, received the position of the head of the passport table, which at the time it was a very high post. He married a very beautiful and intelligent girl Tamara, who came to the village to work as a teacher of the Ukrainian language. Tamara - Grandma of our champions boxers, - Specifies Lyudmila Tymoshenko, - people remember that she was an activist - the evenings organized, sang, playing the guitar ".
Mom Vladimir Rodionovich and grandmother of world-famous boxers - a native of the bold of the Cherkasy region Tamara Efimovna Klitschko (nee ethinon). Shortly before the war, Tamara graduated from the Korsun pedechist and was distributed by the teacher of primary classes to school Vilshans. There she met Rodion Klitschko. Soon the lovers got married and settled in a lot along with Tamarian parents.
Very soon, the fascists were taken by the fascists, and Rodion for many months with risk for life hid in the subfield of the wife-a Jewish, whose relatives were killed from the hands of the Nazis. After the war, as former in the occupation, Rodion and Tamaru, they were exiled to Kazakhstan, where their son Vladimir was born.
Vladimir, who became a pilot, eventually settled in Kiev - almost in the small homeland of his parents, and Rodion and Tamara with two daughters remained in Kazakhstan, where they found their eternal religion.

Brothers Klitschko - Jews in boxing history
Room as a room, everything is as always - about the Jews and for Jews. But I open the 46th page and see: under the heading "Mark on history" placed material with intriguing heading "From kips to kapa" . For those who do not know the meanings of these two words, I explain: Kipa - a small round cap, which are worn by religious Jews; Kapa is a special device that protects the teeth of the boxer from the opponent's blows. And however, I could not explain the meaning of the above words, the subtitle to this publication speaks for itself, and at the same time on the content of the entire article - "Jews in boxing history but" . The total tone of the material sets the first paragraph:
"Among other myths and stereotypes associated with Jews, there will be a rash image of the Jewish-Athlete. It is represented by almost always as a deadhalter chess player. With all his monopoly on the chess championship of Jews, however, they have something to boast in other sports. And among them - both in martial arts requiring strength and combat spirit. Let's see how things are concluded with the decision of the "Jewish question" in the ring, we will discuss the most popular of these martial arts - Boxing ... "
This follows the "Jewish national" excursion to the history of boxing, starting from the end of the XVIII century and ending with our days, as a result of which the author comes to a completely unoriginal conclusion: in boxing, as, however, and in the rest, "Jews, Jews, Jews. " Although about the "non-originalness" of this conclusion, it would be necessary to clarify such a majority for Jewish readers, but, for example, the Ukrainians will surely seem superoriginal, I would even say original to tears.
The fact is that in the final part of the article, the author is the final decision of the "Jewish question" in the ring. And it looks like this:
The impression of a quoted paragraph from Lahaiima.
«<…> Finally - about countrymen, modern stars of world boxing. But first, a romantic story ... Ukrainian place occupied the fascists, and young drains long months with risk for life hid in the subfield young Jewish Tamaru Ethinzonwhose relatives died from the hands of the Nazis. They got married, and after the war as former in the occupation they were exiled. After the Stalinist, their son Vladimir became an officer. His sons, born in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, grew in Kiev, and now live in Germany. In German, they have a "speaking" surname: Klitsch- means "blow"And the end of her on the boxing terminology is intended to interpret as "knockout" - K.O. Many are convinced that the two-meter giant athletes Brothers Vitaly and Vladimir Klitschko were and more than once will be world champions.
Do you need any evidence of the Jewish presence in boxing?<…>» ("Lechim", №12, December 2003).
So the efforts of tireless researchers "Jewish question" Ukraine lost national pride: Two Ukrainian Camps with a pronounced Ukrainian surname Klitschko overnight turned into the grandchildren of the Jewish grandmother living in Germany and bearing the surname, whose root is the word "Klitsch", the same sounding both in German and Yiddish.Two brother-heroes - almost the only national heritage remaining the once rich and strong Ukraine, - suddenly turned into the "pride of the Jewish people" And they began to personify the "Jewish presence in boxing".

Political Career Vitaly Klitschko
After graduating from a sports career, Vitaly Klitschko decided to express himself on a political field. Vitaly Vladimirovich tried to take the post of Mayor of Kiev back in 2006 and in 2008, being champion in boxing, but Lyonid Chernovetsky lost.

Quotes Vitaly Klitschko
However, Vitaly Klitschko in recent years is not known to successes in the management of Kiev, and their quotes that often fall into the collections of jokes and become memes. Even before Euromaidana, Vitaly Vladimirovich said the famous phrase "And today, in tomorrow, not everyone can look. Rather, you can not only see everything, few people can do it. " This quote has become a real hit.
Already as the mayor, Vitaly Vladimirovich complained that he had two deputies, four of which had been lying in the Cabinet of Ministers and whom was impossible to designate. "
Also Klitschko explained that the passage in the Kiev metro went up, but fell. Calling Kievans with understanding to take insufficient heat supply and prepare for "land". All these quotes willingly take the news of journalists of Ukraine and other countries.
