Radulov will be on Russia's roster for the WC, but he is also dealing with a groin injury.
Is that his nickname? Alexander "Right Wing" Radulov?

Educate a moron here but how do the Russians nickname their Alexanders Sasha?
All Russian names have diminutives Alexander = Sasha, Pavel = Pasha, Evgeny = Zhenya, Vyachaslav = Slava etc. etc.
girls' names as well. Maria = Masha, Ekaterina = Katya etc. etc.
Full names are formal and the diminutive forms are more informal....
I don't know a single Alexander who goes by Sandy. Then again I know Richard's who go by Dick so who knows.
Mikhail is Misha too isn't it?
Got really quiet on the Rads front, no? Like you know who quiet.
Sergei becoming Seryozja...how the hell do you spell that in english?..., etc.
Yep that really makes it easier.

Saša is a deminutive and a term of endearment for Aleksandar/Alexandar (male) and Aleksandra/Alexandra (female) in all of the Slavic languages, not just in Russian. It is also used as a given name in Croatia and Serbia for both genders (more often for boys).
With Alexander (or Aleksander), the first syllable that lends itself to a -sha suffix is the Sa-, hence Sasha. Alsha and Exsha dont really work I have heard many diminutives for Alexander. Alex, Alec, Al, Allie, Lex, Lexie, Aleksan, Sandy, Xander, Sasha, Sander, Andy, Ander, Lexa....that's all I remember for now, but I am sure there are more, not including the ones above that I have not heard before, Shura and Sanya.
My name is Alexander, btw.
