As "Ъ" found out, former player for "Kuban", Montenegrian Nikola Nikezic has contacted leaders of International Football Federation (FIFA) и Federation of European Football Associations (UEFA) asking for hard sanctions against his former club, which is owned by Governor of Krasnodar krai Aleksandr Tkachev. According to Mr. Nikezic's letter, the footballer was made by force, and threat of weapons, to tear up his contract with "Kuban".
In the letter at the disposal of our newspaper, a former football player, "Kuban" Nikola Nikezic asks FIFA and UEFA presidents Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini to take action in connection with events that have occurred to him on March 7 in Krasnodar. This letter states that the player was physically forced to terminate the contract, which was to expire after one year.
"March 15, 2010 I signed a two-year contract with the team 'Kuban'. In the first year I helped the club reach the Premier League, scoring four goals and delivering three assists. However, the club declared that my services are not needed any longer. I was asked to terminate the contract, but I refused, "- says Mr. Nikezic's letter. He said they made him an individual training schedule, that included only a two-hour jog around the field twice a day, and continued to offer to terminate the contract. </span>"I was ready to do so if management 'Kuban' found me a new club. But they would not let me even to meet with other teams, without which I could not sign any agreements," - describes the situation Nikola Nikezhich.
</span></span>After a series of refusals, the Montenegrin footballer was going to call his agent to negotiate for him, but was then summoned to the club base. "In the lobby I was greeted by one of the coaches of the club - Nikolai Khlystun - and he offered we go to his office. There, he again invited me to sign a paper to voluntarily break the contract. I said that I will not do it, and intend to pursue further negotiations only in the presence of my agent" - writes Mr. Nikezic.
</span>According to Nicola Nikezic, after this, "two strongly-built men" then entered the room, and the coach immediately withdrew, leaving the three of them alone. Mr Nikezic says that one of the men aggressively shoved a piece of paper in his face and demanded that he sign it. Having been refused, he punched the football player in the solar plexus and repeated his demand. Hearing another "no", the second man took off his coat, under which hung two pistols in a holsters, and the first at this time dealt another blow to Nikezic's midsection. As Nikezic fell to the floor, both men continued to beat him and choke him. "It lasted about twenty minutes, after which I, exhausted and frightened for my life, signed their documents which I never read and have no knowledge of - says the player .- Finally, already leaving, one of them told me not to be stupid, that if I ever try to talk about this, me and my family would be found, even in Montenegro, where there are many Russians, and they have plenty of connections."

I did not translate the entire thing, but this is the gist of it.All I can say is, this Nikezic is a example to others to know better than come and play here, and particularly in Krasnodar krai. Olympic city Sochi non-withstandting, Tkachev runs a lawless territory controlled by his mafia.He thinks of himself as a sort of 'Godfather', and that's the way he does things
