Samarin told how the affair with Trusova influenced Kondratyuk

Alexander Samarin spoke about his relationship with his friend and colleague Mark Kondratyuk.

“As we age, we all have some other things to do. When you are younger, you play tricks more. We don’t have much time for something. In the locker room we can talk, have fun. ice, everyone goes about their business. But I would not say that Mark somehow changed a lot after he began dating Sasha (Trusova). I think it did him good. He matured, "said Samarin.
