Peskov’s standard comment on any high-profile story that is unpleasant for the authorities: the Kremlin is not following this matter.
There's something strange about observation there. What you don’t ask about - you don’t know, haven’t heard, haven’t read. At worst, they didn’t study it closely.
And then they asked Peskov about football players and champagne and unexpectedly received the comment: “Of course, Putin heard about the situation with Kokorin and Mamaev.” "Certainly"! Why of course? And about Shuvalov’s 10 apartments – is that “of course”?
The behavior of the players of the disgraced team was described as a vain disgrace. Isn’t ridicule of people who buy 20 square meters in order to live somewhere a “vain disgrace”?
It’s funny that when the same team last year no less shamefully lost their houses to the Austrians, Peskov was also asked about the Kremlin’s reaction. “What, did someone play football yesterday?” — Peskov was surprised.
And note that I do not remind Peskov about the watch “given as a wedding gift” and the yacht on his honeymoon. It is clear that no one in the Kremlin would call this vanity, much less disgrace. Even if they accidentally “followed” these stories.
