Maxim Kovtun - Russia - Wait... what?
I'm Maxim Kovtun, a skater from Russia. I think you don't know this group; it's a Russian rap group. I would love to be a hockey player. Maybe on the last video, we were dancing with Ian Regini. Here are my girl, my dogs, my car, my friends—everybody. Only when I'm so funny, you know. Chet, Gucci M, yeah, of course. No, thank you for the support, and I'll try to do my best for you.
