April 20, 2023

Vladimir Putin sent a message of greetings to Vyacheslav Fetisov, a hockey player, twice Olympic and seven-time world champion, on his 65th birthday.

The message reads, in part:

“Unforgettable, truly unique pages of national and world ice hockey history are associated with your name and eventful sports biography. Your loyal fans still remember the glorious victories that you and your teammates scored at the most prestigious international tournaments and the Olympic Games.

It is gratifying that today your expertise, knowledge and dedication are needed in important public and legislative work and in the implementation of large-scale initiatives aimed at promoting physical fitness and a healthy and active lifestyle.”
