Millennium Series Bitburg 2010 Videos with Fedorov Interview
Bitburg, Germany hosted the second Millenium event of the year this May. Bitburg turned out much better then first event in Malaga, Spain. Malaga was filled with lightning, rain and wind. The weather was in Germany was much nicer, and all the teams were able to make it to the field. San Diego Impact dominated the whole weekend taking 1st place, followed by SK Moscow taking 2nd and Frankfurt Syndicate finishing 3rd.
In the first video at about the 5 minute mark there is an interview with Konstantin Fedorov, of SK Moscow and. He talks about why he left the Russians and how the team is doing now.
Update: It seems that there has been some confusion as to the interview and my comments above. As Gary Baum said below “He left over two years ago to play for Philly Americans and when his contract was finished at the end of 2009 he choose to return ‘home’ to Russian Legion“. So Fedorov plays for Boston Red Legion and SK Moscow. SK Moscow plays primarily the Millenium and Boston Red Legion in the PSP.

This story is not doubt going to cause some confusion because many people will read this and think that Konstantin Fedorov has again left Russian Legion. He left over two years ago to play for Philly Americans and when his contract was finished at the end of 2009 he choose to return “home” to Russian Legion
Since I am a sponsor for RL and I have personally known Konstantin for several years I can speak authoritatively about this. I was also in Moscow last month to photograph the Russian Legion facility for an upcoming feature article in FaceFull. Konstantin was practicing with the team and he has no plan to leave RL again.

Thats great :)
Also where can we find this Facefull article? I think its #15
I am not sure; I spent a fascinating day with RL shooting their practice and entire facility in Moscow for FaceFull about 3 weeks ago so it has not yet been published. The pictures were submitted 3 weeks ago and I finished the interview part last week so I imagine it will appear in the next FaceFull but I am not sure.

” he has no plan to leave RL again. ”
That’s great! GO LEGION! ;)
And here is a correction to the update: Russian Legion has not used the prefix Boston for several years. They are simply Russian Legion. Back in the days of the National X-Ball League (NXL) each team had to be associated with a North American City. Since Sergey Leontiev the team founder, patron and “big Boss” also controls Pro Business Bank which is one of the largest banks in Russia. The bank happened to have a branch in Boston so they added Boston to their name. Today there is absolutely no connection between the city of Boston and Russian Legion but even at the last PSP event the announcer kept referring to them as Boston Red Legion.
