Russian forward of the American hockey club "Washington Capitals" Alexander Ovechkin was fiercely criticized by sports observer Slava Malamud. True, the former journalist of "Sport-Express" poured a famous hockey player poison not for his game, but for an open political position. "If he (Ovechkin) dies tomorrow, the world will be better. This applies to all Putin's supporters. I'm not going to make any more distinctions, "Malamud wrote in his Twitter. This entry was soon deleted, but the journalist did not calm down. "Why Ovechkin so supports Putin? A combination of factors. He likes the attention with which Putin treats him, "Malamud wrote in the next tweet. He further noted that Ovechkin approves of the "annexation of the Crimea, the war in Ukraine and the anti-gay laws". True, he pointed out that the hockey player does this "sincerely". However, insults and wishes for Malamud's death seemed small. He said that from now on he will block all those who support Ovechkin in social networks. Apparently, one of the first to "ignore" could be sent a sports commentator Dmitry Guberniev. However, Malamud's account was not signed, but he learned about this ugly story from the media. "You are telling me some horror. I think that one - Alexander the Great [Ovechkin], and the other - m ****! So write, "- said Guberniev in the commentary Nation News. Recall that Ovechkin is the founder of the PutinTeam movement. It was created on November 1, 2017. to support the incumbent Russian president before the elections.
