Don't you think if it were true it would be the Rangers giving him a leave of absence? But the Rangers have strongly supported him.
Oh, I mean, I have zero reason to believe he did it. I’m not implying that at all.

By more to the story I mean there has to be something else going on besides a crazy, drunk guy rambling about something that never happened.

You’d think that with how implausible this is looking to be Artemi could just ignore it. He must be concerned about other threats or something.

Hell I have no idea. The reaction just seems incongruous to the action at the moment.
 
Does 'leave of absence' mean he's taking a couple days off? weeks? month?

I feel like he could play next game or in Ranger fashion, not play the rest of the season

One wonders really---WTF? on Nazarov----if he has no credible evidence or supporting witnesses. Really the Panarin I've seen this narrative doesn't make sense to begin with. What does Nazarov have to gain here? Is he nuts? I do remember Andrei as an NHL player. He became more a 4th line fighter than anything else--he was huge and sometimes a dirty player.

And as a Rangers fan---a team that has struggled all season long so far we're losing our best player to dealing with what looks to me like a bunch of nonsense, Our season already looks pretty damn iffy. Losing Panarin for any length of time could sink it.

I’m Russian too and you’re naive if you think it’s not. Putin is scared about recent developments in Russia similar to what’s been going on in Belarus since early summer.

And btw, your list of political opposition that have been persecuted by Putin’s administration is RIDICULOUSLY short.

Well, feel free to add the names
 
Lmao so I guess the KGB poising's are ok huh?

Never said this. THe problem with poisonings is that in majority of cases you don't know about it.

Also, you are correct actually, when you call it a "KGB" poisoning, it's a practice from the Soviet times, and this is how this organization sometimes acts. Not every action of FSB is directly controlled by evil demigod Lord-Marshal Putin
 
So, to summarize so far

Panarin made some posts on social media where he somewhat critized russian government. Btw, they were not hardcore by any means.
Now, a well known nutjob Nazarov made an interview with another nutjob Larin(judging from the journalistic style) where he accused Panarin of a crime 10 years ago.

Nazarov is an unstable person, who has had multiply incidents. For the duration of the last year he was regularly giving interviews to Larin in which he was praising Roman Rotenberg basically for existing.
So, we have a well known nut, jobless, trying to impress people in the federation to get a job.

Looks like, he overdone it this time, at least at the moment, reaction from the political circles in Russia is not good for Nazarov. But it's a bit premature, lets see, what will be the reaction from the government(if there will be any).

As for the story, most likely a nothingburger.

Also, this thread is a confirmation that americans have mythology of Putin and Russia in general, you guys had very uninformed takes on the situation in Russia, safety of Panarins family, safety of Panarin himself, somehow we started talking about political imprisonments and killings in the thread about Panarin. I mean, this is cartoonish.
 
Hello, NYR fans! I'm from Russia. We are outraged by Nazarov's lies. He's scum and idiot, who was beat Minsk fans by stick. None hockey club does not want to mess with him. Russia is in a political crisis now. Most russians under 40 hates Putin. Who criticizes puts himselves in danger, in terms of money, work, freedom and sometimes even life. I have no doubt that this is revenge for the support of the leader russian opposition. I hope the situation in Russia will be resolved soon and war criminals will be punished. Wish us luck!

Jagshemash.
 
If Nazarov was the coach when this happened not only is he a witness but more importantly he is also an accessory to the crime
first of all I don't believe the accusation b/c well in Russia(no offense people) domestic violence is "quite" normal unfortunately and person like Nazarov who has a lengthy history in violent behavior wouldn't probably even register that such beating would have happened.

but Nazarov was the head coach of HK Vitjaz 2010-2012 where Panarin played..

in november 2011 Nazarov along with Panarin were suspended for hitting Dinamo Minsk supporters with sticks soo.. yeah.

What should be quite obvious of this whole accusation is the timing of it. If it really happened why speak of that now?

Hopefully Panarin can soon clear this mess eventhough I don't know how can he when there isn't any proof oneway or the other. :dunno:

But yeah I feel for you guys and the crappy season Rangers are having atleast for the expectations and all the off ice stuff.

Stay safe.

All I can say to this - it is a great propaganda piece by you. Nothing to do with reality.
 
Brooks said immediately that this was a political hit piece and the Rangers followed suit.

Neither would stick their necks out without some evidence refuting this story.

Due diligence was already done, likely before the leave was granted.

That is a good observation. I read them again and also taking into note the NHLs pm, it seems like they have info when writing them.

What is the propaganda here?
Panarin is one of the most popular russian athletes. He published instapost for support of Navalny and human rights in Russia. Then they try to break his sports career. Coincidence? I don't think so.
When the inscription "Navalny" appears in russian city, the FSB destroys it on the same day. Even on the snow. It's true.
 
It’s a no lose situation for the Rangers and NHL to support Panarins leave. They get to stay out of the political debate and if there turns out to be any truth to it they can just say he was already gone so no need to suspend him. I’m interested to see when he comes back what proof there is the claims are false. NHL won’t want to touch it if there’s a shred of truth to it.
 
Even if the story is true, Panarin doesn't risk anything from the court. It happened outside of US many years ago. Am I right?

Probably, in Latvia he'd be criminally liable for 10 years in the case of a serious crime and for 15 years in the case of an especially serious crime.

Related to the allegations, bribery of state officials would be a serious crime, and in that case it could be prosecuted until December 2021. For the battery part charges would only be possible at this point if the victim suffered serious bodily injuries or a mental trauma.

"Most russians under 40 hates Putin". ;) 20-45 is demographics group supporting Putin - peoples that dosn't have soviet times nostalgy and well enough educated to not fall for navalny populism.
"leader russian opposition" communist party is real opposition,not a guy that can barely get 2% votes...
