Firstly, I think she knows a lot more about the situation than we do. Secondly, everyone can talk about their experiences and only she can not talk about it?
P.S. I don't like when people look for negative subtext, especially when it’s not there.
It's not an experience - it's an indirect accusation of Eteri. If she did force her to retire why did not she say it directly. Why this, "well, that was my only choice - to leave Russia because I wanted to keep on skating".
But I don't believe her. I don't believe that Eteri told her to "go and give birth to children" unless it was an emotional exchange of two people when they say things that they don't mean. Did Eteri send Alina anywhere after she could not collect herself during the whole last season? Or she on the contrary supported her and made her stronger? Does not she still support Alina although she has 3A now and Valieva with Akatieva coming next? Would not it be easier to say: "you won it all, now let others win, go and give birth to children?"
I don't believe Zhenya on this one not that before she says it in plain words and Eteri confirms that it was really like that: she wrote-off Medvedeva as a competitive skater after the Olympics.
