Today I read an interesting article about Soviet hockey written last year by the Finnish historician Markku Jokisipilä who is also a hockey player (as almost everyone in Finland is). Its title is "Revenge in 1969 [Czechoslowakia vs USSR], Miracle in 1980 [USA v. USSR] in 1980. The Two Most Politically Charged Maches of Cold War Ice Hockey". It says so much about Russians=Soviets! I scanned it and I would like to attach it here (at least Big must get some more education) but it is more than 5 MB.
, so it is impossible.
If somebody is interested, I can send it per email.
