Commentator Slutsky comes up with opposition jokes after mentioning Navalny on Channel One
Football coach Leonid Slutsky, commenting on the Germany-Mexico match on Channel One, joked about Alexei Navalny. After this, a flash mob began on Twitter, in which opposition comments were attributed to Slutsky. During the match, commentator Kirill Dementyev suggested that Germany would play “Navalny football,” to which Slutsky asked: “Navalny plays football?” and then added: “Well, it would be interesting to watch.” That moment when censorship fell and I ended up on Channel One.
