The CSKA striker told about a visit to the school with the Gagarin Cup and plans for the summer.

— Some time has passed since the end of the season. How do you feel now, how are you recovering?
— Yes, it's been a while. I managed to recover, underwent treatment. I will be fully ready for the training camp. Everything is fine!

— I managed to bring the Gagarin Cup to my son's school. Judging by the photo, was the excitement serious?
— My son and I took the Gagarin Cup to school. When the playoffs were still going on, we talked about it with him. We imagined that it would be great to bring a trophy to school. This year, my son went to the first grade with his friends from kindergarten. They are all our fans, they support CSKA. There was a huge interest in the Gagarin Cup at school, many parents watch hockey.

— What are your emotions from such an event?
— It was very cool! It's nice to look at the kids, how happy they were. It's cool to see the sincere joy of children. We play hockey to deliver sincere emotions. Especially for children.

— I also managed to celebrate my birthday with a cup. Perhaps this is the perfect holiday for a hockey player?
— When you go to this goal all season, and then wake up and you see it at home. It was a very difficult journey and now it is extremely pleasant to be with it. Indescribable emotions, it's already a thrid cup. With each victory, I want to experience this feeling of getting a trophy again and again.

— What are your plans for the rest of your vacation?
— I need to recover further, spend time with friends and family. Of course, we will go have some rest, then we will go to the home town. And then get ready for the new season, get in shape. Great plans, a great summer ahead. Probably, after some time I will miss the team, but not now (laughs
