Double Olympic champion Vyacheslav Fetisov told that it is important for all Russian citizens to participate in the presidential elections, because the future of the whole world depends on it.
On Friday, at polling station No. 597 in Norilsk, Russian and Soviet hockey legends Vyacheslav Fetisov, Alexei Kasatonov, Valery Kamensky, Alexander Yakushev and Alexei Morozov took part in the vote for the Russian presidential election.
— We, legends of world hockey, were among the first to vote in the elections. Four generations of hockey players traveled to Norilsk for a charity match. We rarely go somewhere with such a team, although we are holding a hockey match in Taimyr for the sixth time in a row. Coincidentally, elections started today in the country. And I think it is very important that we all come and vote, because the future of not only our country, but also the whole world is being decided,” Fetisov told .
Three-day voting for Russia’s presidential election began on Friday.
