Two-time Olympic hockey champion Vyacheslav Fetisov shared his thoughts on the possible ban on dual citizenship in Russia, saying that he did not receive a passport from another country. His words lead the way Sports24.
“You must understand why this is being done. I have never had dual citizenship, so it is difficult for me to discuss this. I am a citizen of the Russian Federation and I am proud of it. But there are many countries in the world that offer this format. In any case, all the pros and cons will be weighed during the discussion of the bill,” he said.
In 2020, Fetisov was suspected of hiding his US citizenship. Then the representative of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Denis Parfenov, suspected that he and 13 other deputies had American citizenship.
Fetisov spent most of his sports career, which lasted from 1976 to 1998, as a defenseman for CSKA, New Jersey Devils and Detroit Red Wings clubs. Two-time Olympic champion, seven-time world champion and three-time Stanley Cup champion (twice as a player and once as a coach).
