Every single club is supported by Russian governmental funds.
If that support will be cut off, the league will collapse instantly.
So, no, the support won't be cut off.
What a strange logic. Do you really see no difference in supporting own clubs and supporting foreign clubs? Support of foreign clubs is a limited time thing. It should help them in first few years. One should be completely insane to think that it would last forever. They should find own sponsors or will be replaced by other teams.
The aim was to create an elite league that would be competitive on a global scale, instead of playing hockey in Siberian sheds between second-rate teams.
It's second goal. But third rate clubs from small poor countries couldn't help achieve it anyway so...
Organization that have power over KHL.Who's FHR?
