igor larionov talking about alexander mogilny right after he defected (translation under the cut)
#he could be lying about not being close/not knowing sasha that well to save himself especially since sasha was supposedly friends with slava#or at least closer to him than fedorov. and slava and igor were close soo who knows. but i do believe him that generally#sasha is ridiculously allergic to opening up it's actually maddening#igor larionov#alexander mogilny#il8#am89#soviet hockey#cska#anyways this was so much easier to translate than the sasha interview that i temporarily gave up on halfway through lmao#thank you igoryush for not using so many untranslateable sentences#very important info for sasha characterization. i thought he was much closer with the guys#so he really was always like that huh#also 1418 cathedrals TO ME since sasha doesn't seem to open up to anyone else as much as he does to seryozha<3#re: thinking he was more friendly it's because he had a bunch of people over at his place#to say goodbye to him before he defected apparently?#i'm still confused on when and what's going on with that but it was like a party situation?#sighs sasha...
