Where did Mikhail Shtalenkov go?

Several times I had the opportunity to communicate with Mikhail Shtalenkov - a man who is clearly very responsible, collected, thoughtful... Who would hardly get involved in any adventure.

In Moscow, a famous former hockey goalkeeper and now coach of Magnitogorsk Metallurg, Mikhail Shtalenkov, has gone missing.

The latest information about Mikhail Shtalenkov is dated Sunday, March 25, when he arrived in Moscow, after which he immediately called his wife, saying that he was going home. However, Shtalenkov never made it to the house, and has not been in touch since then. A day later, Mikhail Shtalenkov’s wife contacted the police...

I had the opportunity to communicate with Mikhail Shtalenkov several times and, I admit, he always made the most pleasant impression on me. And not only because Shtalenkov did not refuse interviews and did not shy away from pressing questions. But because his answers were thoughtful, precise, without unnecessary words and phrases, and his speech could be written down in shorthand.

I do not undertake to draw up a psychological portrait of Mikhail Shtalenkov with the precision of an expert. But even to the uninitiated, based on these signs alone, it is clear that Shtalenkov is a very reasonable, responsible, collected, even diligent person. And it’s not without reason that after each question Shtalenkov even took a couple of seconds to think and only after that gave an answer...

That is, in relation to the current situation, we can say with confidence that Shtalenkov would never get involved in some kind of adventure. Such people can only drink hard, like Vasily Lanovoy’s hero from the famous film “Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears.” Only I have never heard anything about the fact that Mikhail Shtalenkov likes to take a sip of a bottle.

And I don’t even want to admit the thought that something could happen to Mikhail Shtalenkov . But I understand that such people don’t just disappear...
