"They"? Please tell who is "they"? It sounds like you are lumping all Russians into one category because Panarin, mostly do to his model wife, wants to be in a big city so she ca further her career. What other Russian players are demanding big cities? There's Canadian players that don't wanna play in Canadian cities, but you don't go and lump all the Canadians into oe category like that.
