Nikita Panov hands in a written request

Danil Pshenichnikov gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The Daniil Kondrakov story refuses to die
It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Daniil Kondrakov signs something — a contract at KDV Tomsk or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
