I know he was born in Ukraine, but can anyone tell me if he's ever played for Ukraine? Is he eligible to play for Russia?

- he must be a Russian citizen
- he must have played 4 years in Russia (Superleague or other leagues)

Antropov is also Ukrainan and I know he played in Russia (but I don't know for how long). Doesen't matter now... I'm interested in your opinions about him in Russian team. I think he's a great center and could be very usefull to RUS team (if eligible). This season hasn't been perfect for him, but last season (especialy at the end and in the playoffs) he was scoring almost every game. When in shape he's a hell of a player. Maybe in couple of years, with Fedorov and Yashin gone, he could make the team (once again, if eligible). If not, I would like to see him play for Ukraine!

Why?
That guy is completely useless, unless you are looking to fill up the GA column and the injury ward.
