"I want to emphasize that Dinamo Moscow did not oppose the end of the Russian championship. I suggested two legitimate ways to resolve the issue — we sent these decisions to the Federation, and I voiced them in the press. And as a result, a third solution was found-illegal, with a change in the law, that is, the regulations on the Russian championship. I am very sorry, my disappointment is boundless. I'm disappointed not because of the Moscow "Dinamo" remained without medals. I am disappointed that the sporting principle was not followed and that the championship regulations were rewritten. This is an outrage," said Zinichev.
