Description
The author of the book is Stanislav Gridazov: a well-known sports journalist, the creator of Sports.ru, and a former chief editor of the magazine “PROsport.” This reading is arranged in an unusual way—two independent books are collected under one cover.
In the first part, the phenomenon of nationwide love for Soviet hockey is shown through the eyes of a schoolboy who is wholeheartedly devoted to this game. This unexpected perspective helps, decades later, to feel the spirit of a vanished era. Soviet hockey, everyday life in the 1970s–1980s, and Saratov—home to the author—are described with such detail and care that the text turns into a real time journey—from today into faraway childhood.
The second part consists of warm, surprising stories that intertwine with hockey and Saratov in different ways.
