Deputy Zhurov: Hockey player Ovechkin must have a desire to become the President of Russia
The State Duma deputy and the Olympic champion in skating sports Svetlana Zhurova appreciated the chances of the National Hockey League (NHL), Washington Capitals, Alexander Ovechkin, to become the president of Russia. Her words are given by “All -Sport.”
Zhurova said that Ovechkin should have a desire to engage in politics. She drew attention to the fact that the hockey player has been living in the United States since 2005 and may not know how Russian laws work. “Living is not in Russia, he simply may not know the much that is happening in the country, in social policy,” the deputy counted.
Earlier, journalist Douglas McKinnons said that Ovechkin could become the president of Russia. He considered that the athlete has a lot of criteria for receiving this position.
Ovechkin has been playing for Washington for 20 years, since 2005. It takes second place in terms of heads (877) in the NHL regular championship. The lag behind the record holder according to this indicator – Canadian Wayne Gretzki – is 17 goals.
