Default Although western biased, a nice article about Karelin

This is the article I have been looking for. It has many interesting details about Karelin and it was written back in 1991.

Just be careful. It is written in a very pro-Western way. A good example is this sentence:

There has been talk that Karelin, like Sergei Beloglazov, the six-time world champion and two-time Olympic champion bantamweight who now coaches at Lehigh, will one day leave the U.S.S.R., never to return.


As we all know, Beloglasov is now back in Russia and went back soon after oil money became available. If it were only about communism, Beloglasov would come back in 1992 not two years ago.

Enjoy!
