Kozhevnikov Advocates for Sidney Crosbys Induction into the Russian Hockey Hall of Fame

Two-time Olympic champion **[Alexander Kozhevnikov](https://www.example.com)** shared his thoughts on the induction of former Soviet and Russian forward **Alexander Mogilny** into the Hockey Hall of Fame, while also expressing his dissatisfaction with the mentality of Russian journalists.

«Why do we only remember our great hockey players when they are inducted into North American halls of fame? Why is it such a significant marker for us that the media immediately starts reporting on the hero? Why don’t they promote our own halls of fame? These could also have their own policies – for example, they could induct Sidney Crosby 20 years after he hangs up his skates.

I have previously mentioned that our internet culture reflects a second-rate, provincial mentality. The media will only write about Mogilny for two reasons: when he is recognized in Toronto or when he shares stories about how someone broke the rules during the Soviet era,» Kozhevnikov stated, as reported by Russia-hockey.ru.
