Nothing is 'clear'. Russia hasn't had anything resembling democracy, liberty, or free speech for the vast majority of Ovechkin's lifetime. He is from a different world from the one where we live in. The same world where a young Evgeny Malkin's ice hockey team once took his passport away from him to keep him from leaving the country and becoming an NHLer.
