Athletistic/Hockey. Double Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov has suggested that Latvian hockey players, who could face criminal charges in their country, give Russian passports. Previously, Latvia took the initiative to ban Latvian citizens from performing in Russia. Failure to comply with this order will result in imprisonment. With a similar initiative towards the citizens of the Czech Republic was made by goalkeeper Dominik Hasek.
Kozhevnikov – about the words of Hasek: “A sick man. The gray matter has thickened”
“Those who want to play with us should be accepted and offered Russian citizenship so they don’t go to jail. We are ready to make concessions for foreigners. But we don’t do that for people who are ready to play with “Incredible. This is what you need to pay attention to. I don’t think this law was invented to intimidate its citizens. So it will be,” Kozhevnikov said, as quoted by Gazeta.ru.
Svishchev: ‘At one time the United States was not a friend of the Czech Republic either, but Hasek left for the NHL’
