State Duma deputy Irina Rodnina, a three-time Olympic champion in pair skating, responded to the proposal of the wife of Zarema Salikhova, the former owner of Spartak Leonid Fedun. The striker said that Alexander Kokorin must become a deputy in order to become an opponent of Rodnina.
“Did Zarema invite Kokorin to become a deputy? He is very smart! Does not know the laws of the Russian Federation? He has a criminal record,” Rodnina says. “Sports Express”.
Recall that in October 2018, Pavel Mamaev, as well as the Kokorin brothers and their friend Alexander Protasovitsky, were defendants in a criminal case involving two fights in the center of Moscow. At one of the institutions in Moscow, Kokorin was injured in the head, hitting Denis Pak, the head of the department of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, with a chair. Kokorin was sentenced to one and a half years in prison. He came out on parole.
Kokorin left Spartak Moscow in 2021 to become a Fiorentina player. He is also known for his performances in Zenit, Sochi, Dynamo and Anji jerseys as a striker in Russia.
He changed teams this summer and became a player in the Cyprus “Aris” team. In total, this season Kokorin took part in 16 matches in the Cyprus championship and scored eight goals.
