Biography

Mikhail Mamiashvili was born on November 21, 1963 in the city of Konotop, Sumy region, Ukrainian SSR. The parents met in the virgin lands: father - Mamiashvili Gerazi Archilovich (1937-1997), mother - Mamiashvili Vera Grigorievna (born 1938). There, at the age of 13, he began wrestling. In 1978 he moved to Moscow, where he continued his wrestling training at the Labor Reserves wrestling center for Olympic training under the direction of coach E.K. Zadykhanov. He played for the sports society “Labor Reserves”.

In 1982 he won the All-Union Youth Games, in 1983 - the Spartakiad of the Peoples of the USSR, the World Junior Championships, and the USSR Championship. In 1983 in Kyiv, he became the world champion in wrestling, being the youngest participant and was recognized as the most technical wrestler of the championship[1].

At the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul he fought in the up to 82 kilogram category.

In the final, he defeated Tibor Komaromi (Hungary) with a score of 10-1 and became the Olympic champion[2].

The famous coach Gennady Sapunov described Mikhail Mamiashvili’s fighting style as follows:

If Misha Mamiashvili grabbed an opponent’s head, he either tore it off or away from the opponent; if he still managed to get out, only half of the wrestler remained, and the outcome of the fight was beyond doubt.

He graduated from courses for highly qualified sports instructors at the Military Institute of Physical Culture, Omsk State Institute of Physical Culture (1990)[4].

Since 1991, having completed his career, he has been the head coach of the Russian Greco-Roman wrestling team. Head coach of the United CIS team at the 1992 Olympics.

Member of the Bureau of the International Amateur Wrestling Federation (FILA). Member of the executive committee of the Russian National Olympic Committee, since 2001 vice-president of the Russian Olympic Committee[5].

In September 2020, Mamiashvili was denied a US visa[6].

Scandal at the 2016 Olympics

Russian wrestler Inna Trazhukova accused Mamiashvili of the fact that at the end of the bout for the bronze medal in the up to 63 kg category, which she lost, he, while drunk, met her, “talked rudely, was rude and hit her twice in the face” [7 ]. Trazhukova promised to file a statement with the prosecutor's office and report the incident to the Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation.

On the same day, Mamiashvili, in an interview with the 360 ​​TV channel, called two other Russians, Natalya Vorobyova and Valeria Koblova, who won silver medals in freestyle wrestling, “nonentities”[8].

The truth of Misha Mamiashvili's life

Wrapping his hairy body in the Russian tricolor, Mikhail Mamiashvili, sprinkling with the righteous saliva of a patriot, screamed in distant Rio de Janeiro.

- “I can forgive everything, BUT I cannot forgive lack of will and indifference!!!!” He yelled and gently hit Russian athlete Inna Trazhukova on the head. “I’ll beat the lack of will and indifference out of you!” thought Mamiashvili, “Old asshole,” thought Inna.

After this, a sentimental conversation between a sports functionary and a Russian athlete, a serious scandal broke out. Trazhukova was quite reasonably outraged by the fact of assault and the obscene voice-over of this process:

“I’m not in slavery to do this to me because of a lost battle! I was humiliated in public."

Mikhail Mamiashvili, in turn, was sincerely perplexed and, instead of apologizing appropriately for this case, he distinctly muttered:

– What else can an athlete say after such a struggle?

For the average Russian citizen, who is little familiar with the nuances of Mikhail’s biography, his behavior can find a bunch of reasonable excuses.

“Yes, he hit a woman, in principle it’s bad, but the person’s soul just hurts for the country, he couldn’t restrain himself!” - this kind of thought probably visited the heads of many Russians, oversaturated with Mr. Kiselev’s propaganda. Radical comrades could voice an even more orthodox thought;

- “Hit? And he did the right thing, and there’s no point in losing the fight!”

Moreover, most of neither of them saw Inna fight for bronze with her rival from Poland. But we are happy to chew on the small details of this near-sports scandal. Many of us like to look at the dirty laundry of famous and not so famous people. We sniff happily, look at it and grin joyfully. To be honest, I am one of those people. But the case of Mikhail Mamiashvili is special. This is a high-ranking sports official and he represents our country at sporting competitions at various levels. His underwear should smell like wildflowers in central Russia.

Unfortunately, Mikhail Gerazievich Mamiashvili’s dirty laundry is so dirty that he has not been able to wash it for decades and it stinks of the criminal showdowns of the 90s!

Such people are corrected only by a grave decorated with an expensive marble monument and nothing more!

Being not a bad wrestler, Mikhail Mamiashvili won a sufficiently large amount of gold and silver to go down in the history of sports in our country. A bunch of Gold from the World and European Championships and the cherry on the cake of a sports career - Olympic gold in 1988 in Seoul. The wonderful career of a wrestler ended in 1991. In 1992, Mimiashvili became the head coach of the Greco-Roman wrestling team. Since 1995 - Vice-President of the Russian Wrestling Federation, since 2001 - President of the Russian Wrestling Federation. A great career, isn't it?

It’s a pity that an Olympic gold medal cannot be used to pay for the pleasant pleasures of everyday life. Mr. Mamiashvili understood this very well. A Georgian by nationality, a freestyle wrestler, he easily became friends with the famous crime boss Otari Kvantrishvili. Mikhail Gerazievich’s diffusion into the mafia structures of Otari was absolutely painless. Life according to thieves' concepts and legal norms of the mafia community appealed to Mikhail Mamiashvili. (photo; Mamiashvili lovingly places Otari Kvantrishvili on his shoulder blades)

Having received, among his brothers in arms, the cartoonish “Mamik”, Mamiashvili, with a twinkle in his eyes and hairy fingers, “oversaw” the south-west of Moscow. Zealously defending the interests of Otari Kvantrishvili, Mamik acquired not only criminal connections, but also good relations with the bureaucratic rabble of the capital. From 1991 until the very last day of Otari Kvantrishvili’s life (who was shot in 1994), Mamik followed all Otari’s instructions with sports discipline. After the death of Kvantrishvili, Mamiashvili became a fully formed independent unit of the Russian criminal and semi-criminal business.

Of course, we will not know all of Mamiashvili’s functions in the structure of Otari Kvanrishvili. Throughout its existence, the criminal empire of Otari Kvantrishvili relied on the muscle mass of former athletes. It is quite possible that Mamik oversaw these areas as well - recruiting athletes into the criminal world, protecting controlled companies, collecting debts. It is clear that Mamik did not wring his hands with painful holds and did not break the noses of the debtors, but he was quite capable of giving appropriate instructions.

Having organized a number of his own companies, Mamiashvili gradually moved away from criminals, because the high position of president of the Russian Wrestling Federation forced Mamiashvili to adhere to the laws of the Russian federation, and not to thieves’ concepts and rules. But as before, under the two-millimeter veneer of an honest man hides the two-meter mask of the gangster essence of Mamiashvili. However, since the beginning of the two thousandth year, the gentleman has successfully mimicked the Russian standards of the Putin era. The phrases “I am a patriot of Russia”, “My heart aches for our country”, “Another machinations of the West” replaced the slang expressions of the criminal world in Mamiashvili’s vocabulary.

They replaced the criminal jargon, but did not change the worldview. The scandalous story with Inna Tarzhukova is a natural reaction of a gangster’s body to an irritating factor. For Mikhail Mamiashvili, the whole world is still divided into real boys and endured. Such people are corrected only by a grave decorated with an expensive marble monument from friends of similar interests and nothing more!

THE MAIN QUESTION of this story is not why the president of the Russian Wrestling Federation behaves this way, but HOW such a person with such a criminal past climbed to this high position. And while in our Russian world mothers of all sorts and ranks will lead our country, nothing meaningful will happen in our Russian world (except for the creation of new long-range ballistic missiles).

Best regards, turul.
