Everyone should give this a read.

Ovi grew up in this environment, and a lot of his worldview is likely still informed by many of his loved ones living in (and perhaps as mentioned an integral part of) this 'alternative reality'.
I'm not sure when/where we should have expected him to become enlightened...he's kinda occupied with hockey while he's in N.A., and presumably spends a lot of his off-season in Russia. All the while he's living in a bubble-world of a rich+famous pro athlete.
I don't know how many of his teammates majored in philosophy or geo-politics...most of the non-Russian teammates in his life also come from privilege and haven't had a lot of higher education.
