What will Kokorin and Mamaev?

The last few days, all conversations are reduced to a single theme: the friendship between the two players Kokorin and Mamaev. More about how they celebrated the tenth anniversary of their friendship and how it all ended. Developments in these days have seen so many that can be confusing. We decided to remind you about the history Kokorin and Mamaev.

In the case of “Sapsan”

Sunday Alexander Kokorin and Pavel Mamaev were celebrating the decade of their friendship. They rented a car “Sapsan” to get from St. Petersburg to Moscow. They say that the riots have already started there. Supposedly a couple of friends “drank all the alcohol in the bar”, stuck to the conductors and passengers.

“Fiercely I got high and yelled in the war room, as beasts and cattle,” — said the blogger Daniel Cross about the behavior of Russian players in the train.
However, in the Railways such information is not confirmed.

And on Monday morning, the player of “Zenith” hit one of the visitors chair. Unfortunately, the victim was an official of the Ministry of industry and trade Denis Pak. There is information that the injured and the CEO of “US” (the leading scientific organization of the Russian Federation in the field of automotive development) Sergey Gaisin.

The beating of a driver leading the First channel

But before the coffee shop, the players came out of the strip club and started kicking parked cars. One of them was Mercedes GLS, owned by leading First channel Olga Ushakova. The driver Vitaly Solovchuk made the remark that caused the aggression of the company (Kokorin and Mamaev were three other people). They tumbled down Solovchuk to the ground and began kicking him. Vitaly received cherepno-a brain trauma, a fracture of the nasal bones, a bruise of soft tissues of the face. The victim lost a lot of blood and ended up in intensive care. He is now okay, takes a treatment.

Also, someone from the company broke the glass of a foreign car and dented the door. Olga Ushakova was not in the cabin. We also know that the leading driver did not recognize the players at the time of the incident. But after a fight in a cafe showed him the photos of the attackers and he immediately ID’d them.

“I saw a group of young people. They were aggressive, they started asking, like, you know who I am. And all that sort of thing. Screamed that I had offended. It was not – I’m at work. And then they started to beat me up.At least five people struck. Beat hands and feet. I repeatedly fell on the asphalt. Mostly hit in the head. During the beating, the screaming, I didn’t think to write a statement. After some time they left me, I guess he decided that a little more, and will be much more disastrous outcome. I didn’t see where they went, I was not up to it”, — said Vitaly Solovchuk.

Case in the coffee shop

After that Alexander Kokorin and Pavel Mamaev came to a coffee shop to have Breakfast. They ordered coffee and was very noisy, even aggressive. The staff could not calm the players down. Then the remark made by one of the visitors. This provoked a strong reaction: Kokorin and Mamaev threw the man to the chairs and beat him, calling “the Shanghai kid”.

But it proved to be official Denis Pak, which received some minor cuts and bruises, and broke a tooth. To assist the Director of the Department of automotive and railway engineering Denis Pack was trying to help his driver, but after the players friends left the café. He called for the chief of the ambulance. Pak refused hospitalization and he wrote a statement to the police, and then took a beating.

“Today in Moscow there was an incident in which injured employees of the Ministry of industry and trade. Department Director Denis Pak, the General Director of GNTS RF FSUE “NAMI” Sergey Gaisin are currently in medical institutions of Moscow, where they were given the necessary assistance. Upon the incident, the victims have addressed with the statement to the police. We hope that law enforcement agencies will deal with the situation”, — said the head of the press service of the Ministry of industry and trade of Russia Zalina Kornilova.

The reaction to the brawl Kokorin and Mamaev

The actions of Kokorin and Mamaev instantly raised a stir in various sectors of society. Even relatives of players strongly condemn the behavior of the players. For example, the wife Mamaev explained the actions of her husband only because the alcohol in his head, and said that she was madly embarrassed by the antics of Paul. Video of the attack looked even in the Kremlin. Players condemns all of society.

“This is unacceptable, unsportsmanlike conduct, cotorobai a shadow on the whole Russian football. These guys don’t play in the Russian team and apparently never will be”,- said the Minister of sport Pavel Kolobkov.
“We’ve seen enough bad videos. There obviously were many witnesses and was videotaped. Law enforcement will not be easy to find out the circumstances of this case,” — said Putin’s press Secretary Dmitry Peskov, advising all to ignore the fact that Kokorin and Mamaev are players.

Also, the psychiatrist expressed his own speculation that could lead to such a behavior of the players.

“The video that is presented on social networks, it is difficult to assume, under the influence of some substances were Kokorin and Mamaev, but usually this behavior is triggered after all the alcohol, rather than drugs. Some people in General can behave without any additional psychoactive substances. However, you need to understand that their behavior goes beyond social norms and disabling social norms characteristic of alcohol and psychoactive substances, such as derivatives of cannabis. The players are not just sitting quietly in the corner and had fun, and negatively interacted with others, it is reasonable to assume that they were under the influence of any substances,” said the psychiatrist of the clinic Evgeny Kovalev.
It is worth noting that our colleagues are unhappy, which showed the Russian players Kokorin and Mamaev. For example, Artem Dzyuba, who played brilliantly at the world Cup in 2018, declined to comment on the actions of the athletes.

“We were able to show that we are not snickering some. We protect the honor of the country in the national team. Yes, you can lose tomorrow, but we’ll give everything. So in the team we don’t think about any other topics. Not even discussing it among themselves. There are special programs with Malakhov there that everyone is discussing football,” said Artem Dzyuba.

But the President of the FHR was ashamed of all the athletes of our country.

“When the first resubida heard was just ashamed of esportstv. But, stonecast such people. Yaschitayu, Tokay athlete must meet savoi actions, andthey are, I think, will answer”,— said Vladislav Tretiak.

What will Kokorin and Mamaev?

After the incident, the events unfolded with rapid force. After the attack on Pak police have opened a criminal case under article “Beating”. For this the attacker threatens punishment in the form of obligatory works for the term up to 360 hours, or deprivation of liberty for a term up to two years.

For a couple of days and continued checking. Also Kokorin and Mamaev was summoned to the police station for questioning. If Paul was in the last minutes, Alexander was late for a couple of hours. It is believed that this will not affect the actions of the investigators. On the eve of the brawlers were detained for 48 hours. Then choose a measure of restraint. Usually in this kind of crime is criminals released under recognizance not to leave. But the public and lawyers have the right to believe that they can appoint arrest or house arrest (given the public outcry around this situation).

As for the punishment, under the Criminal code of the Russian Federation, it will depend on their severity. The beating of a group of persons is considered an aggravating circumstance. Given the turbulent past of these players, the punishment can be very severe. One of the most loud scandals with participation of Kokorin and Mamaev happened in the night club Monte Carlo. Then the Russian team eliminated from UEFA Euro 2016. The party cost the players 250,000 euros. Then Alexander was fined a month’s salary and transferred to the “Zenit-2”, and Paul remained in the first team of FC Krasnodar, but also lost the monthly fee.

“We are not ready to go for reconciliation. The crime that was committed, reconciliation of the parties does not provide for,” said lawyer Denis Pack, adding that they want to achieve the requalification of the article on “Hooliganism”. The punishment even harsher — up to the deprivation of liberty for a term up to five years.

In addition, the football career Kokorin and Mamaev is a big question. While their clubs are in no hurry to conclusions, wait for the official proceedings, but in the “Krasnodar” ready to break the contract with the player.

“The first time we faced such a situation when you initiated a criminal investigation of the incident associated with the football club. What we saw in that video is outrageous.And there can be no excuses. The first thing we can do is to apply all possible sanctions specified in the contract. We impose on the player the maximum fine and suspended from training with the first team (unfortunately, the contract has a very long time). At the moment we study how to break the contract with the player. Unfortunately, contracts are composed in such a way that they maximally protect professional athletes. But we will do everything to achieve this”, — reported in “Krasnodar”, which is Pavel Mamaev.
According to some, “Zenith” also intends to punish the player and leave him.

“What happened yesterday in Moscow with the participation of Alexander Kokorin, the club causes a sharp rejection and indignation. We wait for the legal evaluation of the relevant bodies, but the human and emotional point of view, this incident is just a shame. Now we do not consider it necessary to speak of the punishment of the player from the club. It will follow. But at the moment the leadership of “Zenit” and fans feel nothing but disappointment that one of the most talented players the country has behaved abominably”.
