Deputy Svetlana Zhurova spoke about the IIHF article about Florida’s victory in the Stanley Cup.
Author Lucas Aykroyd did not mention the Russians in the material on the official website of the International Ice Hockey Federation. Sergei Bobrovsky, Dmitry Kulikov and Vladimir Tarasenko won the Stanley Cup with Florida.
“Perhaps this particular person who wrote the article does not like Russians and thus expressed his position. Perhaps there is no politics there, a purely human factor.
In any case, there will be some residue, but everyone knows who won the Stanley Cup. It seems to me that Europe is misreading the message from America. The Americans themselves do not prohibit anything, even Sasha Ovechkin is a member of the Russian President Putin Team, he calmly plays in the NHL and everyone respects him,” said Olympic speed skating champion and State Duma deputy Svetlana Zhurova.
