The legend of Soviet hockey Fetisov Vyacheslav Alexandrovich is a native Muscovite. He was born in one of the capital's maternity hospitals on April 20, 1958. Vyacheslav's father and mother worked at an aircraft factory in Moscow. The family huddled in a cramped room in one of the factory barracks. In addition to Slava, another son Anatoly was growing up in the family.
Fetisov Sr. was an athletic man. He was fond of boxing and was a gambler of the football team of his native plant. Dad brought Vyacheslav to the hockey rink next to their house. Trainer Boris Bervinov, a real enthusiast and fan of his craft, taught the gathered children how to play hockey. He turned the yard boys into a well-coordinated team. As for Vyacheslav Fetisov, the guy simply disappeared on the court, giving hockey almost all his time.
Under the leadership of Bervinov, the ZhEK hockey team managed to reach the finals of the Golden Puck city tournament. By chance, the future Honored Coach of Russia, and then the coach of CSKA, Yuri Chabarin, was present at the game. Speaking in games for his team, Vyacheslav almost immediately became the leader of the team. And it was obvious in tournament games.
Of course, Chabarin immediately singled out the young hockey player from the crowd and invited him to play for the Dynamo hockey club. But later it turned out that the novice hockey player Fetisov was still too young for their training group (then he was only 12 years old). But the budding boy was taken to the youth school of the Olympic reserve of CSKA.
CSKA and the USSR national team
As part of the youth team of CSKA, and then as part of the youth team of Russia, Fetisov began to win one prestigious international tournament after another. The first victory of the young player was the World Junior Championship, then the European Championship. After graduating from school, Slava went to Leningrad, where he decided to continue his studies at the Leningrad Military Institute of Physical Education.
The hockey player spent most of his time at the base of the CSKA team. The athletes were taken care of by the legendary coach Viktor Tikhonov, who had the famous “dictatorial” regime: the hockey players obeyed him unquestioningly, engaged in grueling training sessions from morning to evening, and only victory was required of them in tournament competitions.
When the boy matured, it became clear that the hockey player's genetics did not disappoint not only in terms of talent, but also in terms of height (185 cm). At the age of seventeen, Fetisov was taken to the main team of CSKA-Moscow. By the end of the 70s, Vyacheslav became one of the most experienced players. The hockey player played 16 seasons for CSKA-Moscow. Then for many years he was the captain of his team, having spent almost five hundred matches and won three USSR Cups. Fetisov is rightfully considered the most effective defender and hockey player of the Soviet Union.
1979 was a year of great trials for Vyacheslav. A severe back injury promised to chain the athlete to the bed forever. But he not only stood up, but also returned to the sport and went on the ice.
In 1981, Vyacheslav won the Canada Cup. It was the only time in the history of the championship when the cup did not stay in its home country. Soviet hockey players played in mourning bandages and dedicated their winnings to a comrade who died shortly before - the legendary.
Until 1996, Fetisov again led the team. It was during this period that Soviet hockey became so popular that "only a coward" did not play it. And the USSR team firmly held on to the top three world leaders and became the favorite of the continent.
The famous "Larionov five" - Vyacheslav Fetisov - were known to everyone who was at least a little interested in sports. And this five players were considered the best in the world.
Fetisov with his team twice became the Olympic champion.
NHL
In 1989, Fetisov signed a contract with the legendary New Jersey Devils club. The hockey player got the opportunity to play in the NHL. It was the dream of all athletes, but only a few managed to reach such heights.
After some time, Vyacheslav continued to play in the Detroit team and won the prestigious Stanley Cup twice, and the legendary "five" played a leading and major role in Detroit. Fetisov received membership in the honorary "Triple Gold Club" as a hockey player who won the Olympics, the World Championship and the Stanley Cup.
coaching career
In 1999, Vyacheslav Fetisov played a farewell match in Moscow at the Olimpiysky Stadium. On this, his sports career ended, and the legendary hockey player became a coach. First, the second coach of the New Jersey Devils, and since 2000, he undertook to train the Russian Olympic team.
Fetisov finally decided to return to his homeland in 2002. In Russia, he led the national team and became the head coach and team manager.
At the XIX Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, the Russian team received the "bronze".
Politics
Politics is a separate page in the biography of Vyacheslav Fetisov. Here, for him, not everything was as cloudless as in sports. From 2002 to 2008, Vyacheslav Aleksandrovich was the chairman of the State Sports Committee of the Russian Federation. He was responsible for hosting the Olympics in Athens, Turin and Beijing. But Russia never managed to regain the glory of Soviet times during this period.
Vyacheslav Alexandrovich himself explained the failures by the fact that he could not learn how to work with idlers and losers, and all his undertakings ran into huge resistance. The officials did not like such frank criticism, and bypassing Fetisov created the Ministry of Sports and Tourism, headed by them. Fetisov retired from public service and returned to his native club CSKA. But not a player, but a president. In parallel, Fetisov took over as chairman of the Board of Directors of the Continental Hockey League.
On December 11, 2009, the former hockey player nevertheless returned to the ice. Vyacheslav Yurievich took part in the CSKA home match to increase attention to the club. In the same year, Fetisov accepted the position of head of the sports industry management department of the Russian University of Economics. G. V. Plekhanov.
As a member of the United Russia party, Vyacheslav Fetisov was elected to the Federation Council and served as chairman of the Federation Council Commission on Physical Culture, Sports and the Development of the Olympic Movement.
At the end of 2011, Vyacheslav Yurievich Fetisov was elected to the Legislative Assembly of the Primorsky Territory, but refused the mandate. But later he helped a popular actress become a deputy. Fetisov does not hide this fact and is proud that he opened the way to politics for a person who, according to Vyacheslav Yuryevich, says the right things.
In 2012, Fetisov headed another hockey league, he became the chairman of the board of the Russian Amateur Hockey League (RLHL).
A book by Leonid Reiser was written about the legendary hockey player, and Vyacheslav Yuryevich himself released his memoirs called Overtime. Not so long ago, the former hockey player made his debut as an actor: he played himself in the popular TV series Molodezhka.
In 2014, Vyacheslav Yuryevich was persuaded to approve the shooting of the four-episode film Fetisov, dedicated to his biography. The athlete refused for a long time, believing that there were more worthy candidates around for a nominal film, but, in the end, he approved the project and told reporters that with this film he wants to inspire children to believe in themselves, to show that success can be achieved with their work and talent.
In 2016, the former hockey player became the host of his own author's program "Fetisov" on the Zvezda channel.
In January 2017, Vyacheslav Fetisov became the hero of one of the films in the Family Album series, in which he spoke about his childhood, student days, sporting achievements, joyful and sad life events.
Vyacheslav Fetisov is not only an ex-sportsman, but also a politician, a public figure. His status obliges him to take care of his appearance, but still, recently, fans of the hockey player believe that he looks too good for his age. Some believe that the famous athlete made plastic surgery. Fetisov does not comment on these rumors. Not so long ago, he quit smoking, which could have had such a beneficial effect on his health and appearance.
Personal life
The hockey player connected his life once and for all with the only woman, Ladlena Sergievskaya. Currently, Lada Fetisova is president of the Republic of Sport charity foundation and, like her husband, is working to popularize sports in Russia. Ladlena maintains a popular Instagram account, where she shares pictures from her family life and photos taken during promotional projects with nearly 26,000 followers.
The couple have a daughter, Anastasia, who was born in 1991 in America. The girl graduated from a Russian school. He has a higher legal education. Nastya was professionally engaged in two sports - tennis and equestrian sports.
Despite the hockey player’s long and strong marriage, rumors about Fetisov’s illegitimate daughter constantly circulate in the press. According to this gossip, in 1988, just in time for the wedding with Lada, Vyacheslav started a relationship with singer Lyubov Isaeva. As a result of this novel, the daughter Masha was born. According to Isayeva, the athlete knew about the child and was happy with his daughter, because he really wanted children, visited the woman and the child, and for ten years passed gifts and money.
Fetisov himself claims that he has never even personally met the singer. In 2002, Lyubov gave a detailed interview to Evening Moscow about her relationship with the hockey player. In the same year, Isaeva sued the alleged father of her child. Fetisov refused to do a comparative DNA test, which did not stop his lawyers from winning the case. Numerous acquaintances of the athlete acted as witnesses on his part.

Career Vyacheslav Fetisov in the NHL
Vyacheslav Fetisov left for the NHL in 1989. New Jersey became the first American club. The first years in a foreign country were difficult. In addition to the language barrier, there were problems with teammates - each stood up for himself and could often substitute the other. To Fetisov, this attitude seemed strange and wrong.
The first season was unsuccessful, in the second year the New Jersey business was even worse, and Vyacheslav was out for a month with pneumonia. But the Russian player did not give up, and the team nevertheless got out of the crisis, not without his efforts.
In 1995, Fetisov moved to the Detroit team. The Red Wings gave the world a whole five Russian players that only the lazy did not pay attention to: Fetisov, Konstantinov, Kozlov, Larionov and Fedorov. Our masters, playing Soviet combination hockey, made a splash in the League and made a decisive contribution to the victory of Detroit in the 1997 Stanley Cup.
After his first Stanley Cup victory on June 13, 1997, Fetisov, along with his teammate Vladimir Konstantinov and massage therapist Sergei Mnatsakanov, had a serious accident in a rented car on their way to a club party. As a result, Konstantinov and Mnatsakanov remained disabled, while Fetisov escaped with minor injuries and was quickly discharged from the hospital.
Fetisov was among the 260 candidates for the top 100 hockey players in NHL history. In total, in the NHL regular championships, Vyacheslav played 546 matches, scored 36 goals and scored 228 points. In the Stanley Cup, he has 116 matches and two goals.
After completing his career as a professional hockey player in 1998, Fetisov was invited to coach New Jersey. The Russian first helped Robbie Ftorek, and then Larry Robinson, with whom he won his third Cup. After that, in 2000, Fetisov tied up with the NHL.

I don’t know what twitched me at that moment: probably, everything was already completely sick! But I calmly take a sheet of paper, take out a pen and right there, right in the minister’s office, I write a statement asking to dismiss me from the ranks of the armed forces. He wrote, put the application on the table and went to the door. The enraged Yazov shouted after him: “You will regret this day, crawl to me on your knees to ask for forgiveness!” But I left, and ten days later I was fired from the Armed Forces of the USSR."

Fetisov's allegations of links with the mafia
In 1993, publications appeared in the Canadian and American press that Russian criminal groups were extorting money from NHL players from the countries of the former USSR, threatening the life and health of their family members who remained at home. Vyacheslav Fetisov's agent denied that something similar happened to his client, but admitted that this happens to many players. The hockey player himself claimed that Russian NHL players have no problems with the mafia.
