In St. Petersburg, the goalkeeper of the Russian national hockey team, the hockey player CSKA 25-year-old Ivan Fedotov was detained, a criminal case was instituted against him about evading military service in the army (Article 328 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Evasion of the military or alternative civil service"). Shortly before that, according to the media, he told the club’s leadership that he would leave CSKA and leave Russia.
Ivan Fetodov was detained on July 1 in St. Petersburg. According to Sports.ru, Fedotov’s contract with CSKA ended on June 30. In May, it became known that the hockey player signed an annual contract with the club of the National Hockey League (NHL) Philadelphia Flyers.
Ivan Fedotov was born in the Finnish city of Lappeenranta. In 2021 he began to play for CSKA, before that he played for Salavat Yulaev, Tractor and Neftekhimik. He participated in the Olympic Games in 2022 as part of the Russian team, where the players won silver.The employees of the gathering were waiting for a hockey player in several places where Fetodov could appear. As a result, they detained him in Kupchino at the exit of the ice palace where he trained. The witness of the detention was the journalist of the TV channel "Match TV" Anna Andronova. The television channel was preparing a report about Fetodov.
"Vanya and I had a plan that we first shoot in the palace, and then we’re going to shoot an interview somewhere in the park. The three of us left the palace: I, Vanya and the operator. There was already a crowd of people in the parking lot. At first glance, there were about 10. The first thing that stood in a mask and camouflage, the rest were in the pitch and said something. I was about a short one-I didn’t hear anything there, there were four cars without any identification marks and one van, Vanya was put in a van.
Personnel from the video surveillance camera in his telegram channel was published by sports journalist Alexei Shevchenko.
The guard guard told Andronova that unknown people were waiting for Ivan in the parking lot for about an hour. Fedotov in correspondence with the journalist asked if she “merged” information about his detention in the media. However, Fedotov did not comment on his detention and possible criminal case.
Fedotov was taken to the military enlistment office on Zagorodny Prospekt in St. Petersburg, where he stayed until the evening of July 1. At the same time, the city’s military commissariat claimed that they have no information about the detained athlete.
The interests in Fedotov Fontanka explains the interest that the hockey player plays for CSKA (Central Sports Club of the Army) and the athlete "Formally Military". CSKA is a professional club, among the founders of which a company related to Rosneft, and the head club of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. CSKA regularly reports on the news that professional athletes, members of the national teams are called to the sports company of CSKA. In total, the club has five sports companies in different cities, including in St. Petersburg. The publication Sports.ru claims that "all hockey clubs have long have professional status and legally does not relate to their departments" and "not a single more or less famous hockey player really served in the army."
At the same time, formally, the Commissariat of St. Petersburg cannot attract Fedotov to the military service: the athlete is registered in the Leningrad Region, and the commissariat of the 47th region should be called up by the hockey player. About this " Fontanka " was told by the chairman of the military college of lawyers Alexei Ponomarev. In addition, Fedotov was supposed to be summoned to a medical commission if the commissariat wants to invite a candidate for military service. According to Ponomarev, no one called the athlete on the medical board.
In the military enlistment office, Fetodov became ill: he was taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
It is not known whether the police opened or not a criminal case against Fedotov for evasion. Officially, neither the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in St. Petersburg or the Investigative Committee reports this. According to Fontanka, the relatives of Fedotova filed an application with the court in order to suspend the decision of the draft commission on the call.
There are no official comments on the KHL website in the hockey player case. Spokesman for CSKA Alexander Malyugin said that he knew nothing about Fedotov’s detention. The General Manager of the NHL club Philadelphia Flyerses Chuck Fletcher said that the club is studying the situation with the detention of Fedotov. After the incident, the managers of clubs and agents of Russian players who act in the NHL recommended that the athletes not go to Russia because of the possible problems when returning to the country, writes The Athletic publication.
Igor Rabiner, the Observer of Sport Express, with reference to the hockey agent who specializes in the NHL, writes that the hockey league "cannot do anything" because Fedotov did not serve in the army and "ran from it for six years.
"Fedotov was taken not because he should serve, but because" they hit the weak place and hit him. "Yes, he and his representatives were talked, but in Russia high -level professional athletes (which Fedotov is certainly) do not serve in the current army. And they" served "in the Army and Dynamo clubs, so it was also a pure profanation, and not a pure proofion. “The fulfillment of the duty to the Motherland” ... The smell of this story is a long -forgotten, naphthalene, absolutely Soviet one, “there would be a person, and there is an article,” writes Rabiner, recalling the shooting of the shoot of two professional athletes Sergey Fedorov and Alexander Mogilny from the USSR.
Who are Sergey Fedorov and Alexander Mogilny?Users of social networks remember the Russian hockey player a game for CSKA, which is connected with the Ministry of Defense, and matches during which Fedotov went out with the rest of the team with a form with the inscription of the USSR. The journalist and co -founder of Sports.ru Dmitry Navosha writes that "in the winter he himself (Fedotov) in the Russian national team played against Finland in Jersey" USSR "." He did not catch the guy that the scoop had returned, and he had to run from the scoop in the style of the grave, "writes Navosha.
I specifically checked - yes, the hockey player (Ivan Fedotov) detained today regarding the return of the scoop should definitely be aware. In winter, in the Russian national team, he played against Finland in Jersey “USSR” by all this neo-imperial aesthetics in Ross. Hockey steering Rotenberg Jr. Pic.twitter.com/aiqobuaafw

Oh, oh, oh !!! What is this!? The dude plays at the gate of the hockey CSKA, while playing the army does not need. And when he wanted to immediately increase the combat potential of the Armed Forces. RF. Eh, Ivan Fedotov! As in the saying: Fedot is not the same (when you want freedom, which is better than not freedom)

The writer Viktor Shenderovich assumes that Fedotov “did not think” when he put on a sports uniform with the mention of the USSR to the game against Finland, or “thought that for some reason the Finns would be worse from this ghost.”
“He must be a good guy, this Ivan Fedotov. He is young and doesn’t remember any time except Putinsky. He probably liked it until recently. Now, probably, he was disgraced for a short while ... Of course, not for long! They will let him go. He is not a kara-murza, not a bulk. Someone will call somewhere (even the same deputy of Fetisov, who had once thrown the skates to the same CSKA-and In a quiet manner, the staff was next to the Philadelphia at the time when freedom was just beginning and not ending).
Ivan Fedotov: He helped the Russian team did not fall into the mud face and take silver medals at the Olympics. Also Ivan Fedotov: he stopped wanting to live here (he has the right), wanted to leave and condemned him “his” Russia: his army !!! kapets. Offiery gratitude.

The correspondent "Match TV" Dmitry Ponomarenko believes that Fedotov may have "big problems with the military commissar." He suggested that the athlete, playing the KHL, "did not formalize the military service anywhere, mandatory for any citizen of the Russian Federation, but simply received delay from draft in the Armed Forces."
"It is strange that Ivan did not take care of this earlier. Usually hockey players solve issues with the Armed Forces at an earlier age. Of course, their service is largely fictitious. But the unit needs to appear, to take shape as it should be. After the deadline is to quit as it should be. Yes, even a week to live in the barracks, to relate to the unit - also. The second option - a university with a military The department, apparently, did not hold the option with the NHL in the head.
Over the past few hours, we realized that Ivan Fedotov is the most dangerous goalkeeper in the world. If he is supposedly guilty of something, let them say what. They are not going to bed him to the battery forever, sooner or later information will go. What kind of game. Let justice triumph.
