Being on this side of the world, Ovechkin now has access to different forms of media that show the other side of the war. His public image may be being controlled out of fear for the safety of his family. Please see: https://www.google.com/amp/s/novacap...ys-safety/amp/
Apologies to the mods if this has been posted already. If this is indeed true, then I feel sorry for Ovi. |
Russians living in North America and with the wealth and access to information of hockey players have no excuse. It's not like they are Babushka's with only the state media available on their village TV.
Panarin and Zadorov have both stated anti-putin positions and Z has been pro Ukraine at the dome.
Ovechkin's Instagram profile picture is still him posing with Putin and that sends a message.
