Putin's a, what, 6-7 goal-a-game player? Maybe the Rangers should sign him.

In a country where they decriminalized domestic violence? Unfortunately, probably not...

Panarin would have been 19 at the time. Who cares if the girl was 18?

At that point why not go all the way and make her underage in the story? Russia is weird.
Maybe because of how it would play in America.

This is exactly what Putin loves to do. And Panarin hasn’t been shy about criticizing Vlad in the past.

Turns out the accusations are being made by Andre Nazarov. Remember him?

Really good breakdown of this whole thing.

Nazarov is the Russian equivalent of a Trumpster/Magamoron.

Which is why I don’t think comparisons to American athletes supporting different parties don’t hold water. Russia isn’t a democracy. Putin has critical journalists murdered and political opponents thrown in jail. And Ovechkin does more than just wear MAGA hats - he’s a personal friend of Putin. They have lunch together, exchange gifts.

Step 1/2: criticize Putin.
Step 2/1: do bad things.
Step 3: dismiss accusations of having done bad things as fabricated because you criticized Putin.

It's a great plan if you don't get poloniumed.
