Athletistic/Hockey. Russian “Sochi” striker Dmitry Zavgorodniy spoke about his performance in the United States and the dangerous situations he faced during this time.

Last season, Zavgorodniy played in the AHL for the Stockton Heat team.

“It’s really dangerous there. There are a lot of gangsters, African American bandits. We tried not to be noticed after practice. We were given a card at the club where some of the town is marked in red, the other in green.” You can’t go to red, even the police don’t go there.

Once the bikers arrived, we had a home game. After the match, we were kept in the locker room because they were afraid to shoot. An hour later, they started taking us out under police surveillance. Once, a man climbed onto the roof of his teammates, apparently with the intention of robbing them. All the guys tried to rent accommodation in good neighborhoods and not go out anymore,” Zavgorodniy said.
