Of course he does. Via a translated interview on Argumenti.ru, as found by Sarah Schorno Kogod of Capital Games:
↵↵↵In a translated interview with Argumenti.ru, Ovi revealed this gem: He has a direct line to Vladimir Putin, who may or may not be the most interesting man in the world.
↵"But it's not his cell phone number, but rather his home phone," he explained. "I call him often. But Putin is never at home. So far I haven't managed to talk to him yet!"

There are so many questions that need to be answered here, such as:
↵- ↵
- How often does Ovechkin actually call? ↵
- What kinds of messages is Ovechkin leaving? ↵
- What does Ovi actually want to talk to Putin about? ↵
- Why is Putin not returning Ovechkin's calls? ↵
- What is Putin doing anyway? ↵
- Is there any way we can get our hands on these voice mails? Please? Pretty please? I'll pay whatever is needed. ↵
