- I want to clarify: the date of birth on October 9, 1957 is indicated on Wikipedia, and his relatives and many friends note that Vitaliy Kuhinovich was born on January 9, 1957. Where is the truth?

- My father was born on January 9, 1957. His date of birth was changed due to the fact that he could longer play for the youth team of the USSR. It has always been practiced in football and not only in the Soviet Union ... ^[6] .
