Dominik Hasek told if he regrets playing in Russia
Former goalkeeper of various NHL clubs, HC Spartak and the Czech national team Dominik Hasek spoke about the game of Czech forward Ak Bars Dmitry Yashkin in Russia and also answered the question of whether he regrets playing in Russia.
“Maybe this alerted someone, there were activists, for example, in Europe. But I will defend myself a bit: Dominik Hasek was not educated enough to conclude how Russia would develop. Of course, if I were smarter, if I were more educated, if our politicians explained this to us and set the rules better…
I asked our politicians and legislators to ban Czech citizens from working in Russia. I will say before the camera: our deputies, senators, the government, that Dmitry Yashkin works in Russia, you are to blame and responsible for this. Are those who go there to work to blame? I don’t like that he made that decision. But the case of Dmitry Yashkin is just the case when our deputies should speak. That is, the state should protect Dmitry Yashkin? No no no. The state must protect me and my family!!! I have a son, I have a wife. How is he supposed to protect me? Well, the ones that are not allowed. [игроков] work there,” Seznam Zprávy quoted Hasek as saying.
