Demolish the largest equestrian monument in Europe to the bandit, terrorist, “Bandera” - Salavat Yulaev in Ufa!!! The enemy of the people, who propagates and is still inspired by TERRORISM-FASCISM in Russia!!! This Bandera exterminated more Russians than the Ukrainians in Donetsk and Lugansk! More than 20 thousand! And the same number of Tatars and Ugrofins and other peoples! Read the book “Our Salavat”! They left behind scorched settlements and corpses, like in Donetsk and Lugansk! Instead of the fanatic punisher Bandera, install M. Nagaya! The founder of the Ufa fortress, the Kazan governor, by order of the Tsar in 1574. Where are you not grateful descendants of Russians and Tatars and other peoples? Allowing an insignificant group of impudent people to “mock” history! Where is the Young Guard movement?

During the same period, with an existing contract with the Nashville club, the athlete signed another employment contract with Salavat Yulaev HC without the consent of his overseas employer, acting not entirely correctly. A scandal broke out between sports organizations. The International Ice Hockey Federation did not approve of his action, but did not take any sanctions - the parties to the contracts played in different leagues. The incident was settled in 2010, after the KHL and NHL signed an agreement on mutual respect for contracts.

In 2011, the forward in the ranks of the Salavat Yulaev team became the owner of a prestigious challenge prize for the winner of the KHL playoff games - the Gagarin Cup.

After the Russian season ended, he went to Nashville. However, before the third game of the Stanley Cup playoffs, he was suspended from games for violating the rules. And at the end of the 2011/2012 season, the Predators bosses decided to abandon the talented but problematic player.

For three seasons he became the best player in the KHL, for two - the top scorer, and also scored the fastest goal in the history of Russian and Soviet hockey, 6 seconds after the start of the match against the Ugra team.

Since the athlete had contractual obligations to his previous club Nashville, Radulov went to play there at the end of the 2011/2012 season, but was soon suspended from playing for violating curfew. At that time, the team was supposed to participate in the second round of the Stanley Cup. Later, at the end of the season, the club’s management decided to refuse the services of the hockey player, so they decided to return to the KHL and sign a contract with CSKA for a period of 4 years.
