Zenit apologized to Dinamo Makhachkala for the epigram for the game of the 12th round of the RPL. The St. Petersburg Club published a poem in which were the words: "Here, for a long time, everyone's beards were trimmed, and the wind tore off their hats as if by hand. " The text was later deleted, and Dynamo demanded an apology from Zenit management.
