Oleksandr Pikalov impressed at the presentation of the FC "Lokomotiv" football collection in Kyiv
A presentation of a limited collection of FC "Lokomotiv" soccer jerseys took place in Kyiv, which was an unexpected event for "Kvartal 95" star Oleksandr Pikalov. The artist, known for parodying the ex-president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych, appeared in a military uniform, which caused great interest in his further service in the National Guard of Ukraine.
Presentation at the destroyed sports base
The photo shoot took place at the site of the Lokomotiv sports base in Kyiv, which was destroyed by a Russian missile. This tragic event happened on January 23, 2024 and left an unforgettable mark in the hearts of fans and athletes. The football club notes that the limited edition jersey is dedicated to this date.
Oleksandr Pikalov in military uniform
Pikalov was seen in military uniform for the first time recently. The artist is not active on social media, and his last post on Instagram dates back to June 2022. He announced his entry into the National Guard of Ukraine at the beginning of the full-scale war, but did not name the brigade number.
Work at the Image Publishing Center
Recently it became known that Pikalov serves in the Image Publishing Center of the National Guard. People's deputy Volodymyr Aryev noted that the service does not prevent the artist from touring with "Kvartal".
"And now about the Kvartal. They say they don't serve. However, there is one "quarter resident" who got a good job. Pikalov is undergoing "service" at the Image and Publishing Center of the National Guard."
- said Ariev.
Conclusions and forecasts
This event raises important questions about the role of public figures in military service and their influence on public opinion. Pikalov's presence at the presentation of the Lokomotiv FC jersey adds a new dimension to his image and emphasizes the importance of cultural and sports initiatives, even in wartime.
