Last Saturday's incident at Khimki stadium intensified discussion
of the new law on football fans.
Commenting on the stopped game between Zenit St.Petersburg and
Dynamo Moscow, the president of the Russian Olympic Committee, vice-speaker of
the Duma Alexandr Zhukov, remarked that football fans should be put into
a civilized framework.
"We discuss the necessity of a law on fans that would somehow
regulate their behaviour, because similar regulation exists in some
European countries and, perhaps, this is the right way," Zhukov
thinks.
He added that the main aim of the new law would be the correct
behaviour of the fans.
