Two-time Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov praised the criticism from former Finnish Prime Minister Alexander Stubb regarding the form of the Russian national hockey team. His words are quoted by “Championship.com”
“The Finns have been doing nothing but dirty tricks lately. They are on the same course as America. The topic of the USSR now does not even bother them … Well, why, they lick the ass of one country there, ”Kozhevnikov said. He added that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the Finns are wrong in this situation.
On December 21, Stubb announced that the CCCP uniform symbolizes a regime that has killed millions of innocent people. He called this gesture offensive and not related to sports or anything else.
On December 19, the Russian national team lost to the Finnish national team and lost the Channel One Cup. As in the victorious matches against Canada, Sweden and the Czech Republic, Russian hockey players went on the ice in the form of the USSR. This is due to the fact that the Russian Ice Hockey Federation celebrates its 75th anniversary. In December 1946, the first matches of the national championship took place in the USSR.
