Member of Parliament from European Solidarity defends the Russian-speaking Dynamo goalkeeper coach
The former goalkeeper of many domestic teams, Vyacheslav Bohodiygelov, caused a scandal over a fine for violating language legislation. The coach published a screenshot from the Diia app about enforcement proceedings with the fine. According to him, the punishment was issued for conducting trainings in Russian.
Later Bohodiygelov announced the end of his coaching career. "I am suspending all my social media pages! I am stopping all my coaching activities!" he noted.
Honcharenko came to Bohodiygelov’s defense. "Basically, why do we need to train goalkeepers? Why search for new football stars? Why should children achieve anything? Let’s close everything, prohibit everything, and sit idolizing Zelensky. Or all the other little stars in power who chatter in Russian until the cameras are off?" he wrote.
Honcharenko’s post elicited a flurry of comments online. Some users condemned the deputy’s and the coach’s stance, emphasizing the importance of the Ukrainian language.
Meanwhile, some commentators supported Honcharenko and Bohodiygelov.
Bohodiygelov was born and raised in Kyiv. He played at a high level for Ternopil’s Nyva, Donetsk Metallurg, Poltova’s Vorskla, and Kharkiv’s Metalist. He spent many years working in Dynamo Kyiv’s youth school and Ukraine’s youth national teams, and recently coached children at Evolution Football Academy.
As a reminder, the former goalkeeper of many domestic teams Vyacheslav Bohodiygelov caused a scandal over a fine for violating language legislation. The coach published a screenshot from Diia about enforcement proceedings with the fine. Bohodiygelov is to pay 11426 UAH. According to him, the punishment was issued for conducting trainings in Russian.
To justify himself, Bohodiygelov decided to use classic clichés. First, he was surprised that for 50 years no one was bothered by his use of Russian. Then the ex-goalkeeper said that he had heard the "pure Ukrainian language" only in the diaspora. And as a dessert he pulled the card of military personnel who did not pay attention to his Russian during a visit to the Zaporizhzhia direction.
