Famous athletes Alexander Kokorin and Pavel Mamaev were involved in a criminal case after they beat a driver in the center of Moscow and then attacked an official in a cafe. They were sentenced to one and a half years in prison. They were paroled in September 2019 after serving less than a year in prison.
According to Alexander, he does not regret what happened. Kokorin said that he gained invaluable life experience in pretrial detention and the colony. “Every normal guy and person should serve time to get and feel such a school. This is a life hack that will bring people who have been swimming for one or two months in pre-trial detention to their senses, ”said Alexander on the Super League show on YouTube.
The athlete’s words outraged many members of the public. Sports commentator Vasilij Utkin commented sharply on this. “Kokořín is a real jerk. That’s what they said about the army when I was young. When they served another 2 years, they were removed from the institutions. But now this moron says that it is useful for every peasant to serve time, ”Utkin was indignant.
The 50-year-old actor from the movie “Election Day” reminded that in order to go to prison, a person must commit a crime. “So what’s a ‘real man’ to do?” Rob? Defeat? Rape? Choose a pensioner? You still have to go to jail! What does this stump even carry? Utkin added on his page on social networks.
But Alexander’s younger brother, who was also present at important events, supported him. “I think that a few months are possible for some kind of prevention, for education. Because of this statement, a lot of criticism on him? In 15 years of his professional career, he does not care about hatred, “said Kirill Kokorin.
The footballer’s words confused the boxer Nikolai Valuev. “All this means only that the correctional facility did not have much effect on Kokořín. Because he had such a high opinion of himself that all men should follow his example. Probably, more time has to pass for him to mature, “Metaratings quotes the deputy of the State Duma.
The forward of Cyprus “Aris” commented on the former owner of “Spartak” Andrey Chervichenko. He stated that Kokořin’s words confirm the thesis about the level of education and the structure of football players’ thinking.
“He meant that being in a men’s team where all the guys are not a gift and you have to be able to stand up for yourself is temperamental. This forms character, gives an understanding of what is possible, what is not, that must be guided by words. But I’ll tell you a secret – there is a better way. The army is no worse for the formation of a real man, in this school you will get the same, only in much more civilized conditions, and Kokorin’s reputation would not suffer from it,” noted Chervichenko.
According to the businessman, the former Zenit player is one of those who first say and then think – to miss that he was in prison is stupid to say the least. “It is possible that he has become a violent person and that is why he is now preaching such a mandatory stay in pre-trial detention, but it is certainly not something that any normal man should go through,” Andrey RB quotes.
