The Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) recommended the Novosibirsk club "Siberia" to ensure that fans do not chant "Glory to Siberia" during the performance of the Russian anthem. Writes about it "Sport-Express".
According to the publication, the recommendations came amid complaints that the slogan of Siberia fans desecrates the country's anthem. According to tradition, they chant "Glory, Siberia" at the moment when the words "Glory, country" sound in the anthem.
Kommersant, citing a source familiar with the situation, writes that the KHL sent a letter to the leadership of HC Sibir with a request to work with fans, but it is of a "recommendatory nature." “The club does not yet understand how to influence the two millionth audience,” said the interlocutor of the building.
