In an interview with the YouTube channel Nobel, the former captain of the Russian football team revealed that he was “a little scared” by what could happen to him after making his position on the war public.
“I’m not sure if I’m going to prison or getting killed, but I’m speaking my mind”said Igor Denisov, who assured that, despite fearing reprisals, “he will not hide”: “I will not leave Russia. I’m not going anywhere because I don’t want to.”
Revealing that he has been having sleepless nights because of the war, the former Russian national team captain said he did not understand why Russia invaded Ukraine. “Maybe because I don’t know much, maybe because I don’t know much about history, but I don’t”he found, noting, however, that he is “against the death of people”.
