A participant in the incident involving Moscow’s well-known Russian basketball star Alexei Shved, who introduced himself as Prince Amiraslanov, spoke about what happened. The account, relayed by the Baza Telegram channel, offers a closer look at the sequence of events and the emotions surrounding the clash.
The witness described celebrating a birthday at a restaurant with friends. After the guests departed, Shved started a conversation with Anastasia’s wife. The narrator suggested that Shved was intoxicated at the time. The prince said that the woman at one point directed insults toward the nation and the family, a detail that intensified the tension in the room.
According to the account, the situation escalated when the Swede—referring to Shved—left the club area in a highly agitated state. He allegedly walked upstairs, accompanied by his teammate Artem Komolov, toward the speaker’s younger brother, who is described as underage in the retelling. The two men reportedly grabbed each other in a close confrontation, and a sweeping move by the younger brother reportedly brought Shved to the ground. The witness asserted that Shved did not strike his head during the fall, though the fight continued afterward.
As described, Shved rose to his feet and the scuffle resumed. At some point, someone struck Shved in the head, causing him to fall again and the altercation to pause. Medical assistance was requested, and an ambulance was later summoned. The witness added that, because the incident involved Shved and his circle, media attention was not immediate; those present hoped the matter would stay out of the public eye for a time.
In a separate note, authorities reportedly detained two suspects in connection with an attack on Aleksei Shved the day prior. The reporting hints at a broader pattern of events surrounding the player, beyond the restaurant confrontation itself.
Also mentioned in the report is a loss in a recent VTB United League game. Shved and his team, CSKA, were defeated by Lokomotiv, a loss tied to the broader affair as some observers suggested that those who bet on CSKA may have faced financial consequences as a result of the events. The account notes that Shved was unconscious for approximately 20 minutes following the beating mentioned in the retellings.
As the story continues to unfold, questions remain about the exact sequence, the motivations behind the actions, and the impact on those involved. The available descriptions offer one perspective on a moment of high tension, with the potential for further official clarification as investigations progress. This recounting is presented here to document what has been reported through the cited channel and to provide additional context surrounding a widely discussed sports figure and his associates.
