Since I am a huge hockey fan and have known about the USSR great team from when a kid, it was a great experience to delve into that entire world and learn even more than I bargained. If any one would ever say that sport does not reflect what is going on about us us, socially, politically, culturally even academically, I would let out a big gawfaw... ! One need only remember the last Olympic Games and the many that preceded it to prove how intertwined sport is with politics (last Olympics explored the world crisis on the treatment of gays by Russia) which is all tied in with our social and cultural aspects of life.
