Athletistic / Hockey. Former goaltender of the Czech national team, several NHL clubs and Spartak Moscow, Dominik Hasek, spoke about the resounding interview with Russian Calgary Flames defenseman Nikita Zadorov. Previously, Zadorov criticized the political situation in Russia in an interview.

The defender also spoke harshly about SKA coach Roman Rotenberg and Russian hockey veterans Alexander Kozhevnikov and Sergei Fedorov.

“Of course, this is a step forward. But the main thing is this. If the NHL, as well as the governments of democratic countries, do not change the rules, then nothing will change. It is worth ensure that Russian citizens can only participate in competitions after expressing themselves.

Zadorov explained why he agreed to a high-profile interview

Rules regarding speech must be established. And at the same time, it is important to provide maximum support to Russian athletes if they speak out,” Hasek wrote on social media.
