well, there were some people there, about 7-10, and some were, there were directors, oh, one of the singers, now i don’t remember who, but not kobzon, there was some for the whole delegation one strange woman, who was some kind of editorial worker, or a weaver, or someone, and roland bykov scolded her patient in his diaries, for the inconsistency of the company, that’s all, in fact, no, but how , we didn’t have tourism as such in the 1980s. miracle on ice for the us team, victory over the team the soviet union at the olympics, and what can be called a miracle on ice for the soviet union team, has this ever happened in our history? of course, well, look, it’s 1954 - the first soviet team comes to the first world cup and beats the canadians in the decisive match 7:2, when no one around believes in it, yeah, to the point that they say that the coaching staff, well, in the delegation among the leadership of the delegation. there were

proposals not to stick to the match with the canadians, we will lose anyway, it’s useless, let’s save our strength for, because if we lose to canada, we have a replay with the swedes, then the decisive match, an additional match, who will become the european champion, and there was a proposal, some believe that it was tarasov, let’s not resist there, let’s spoil them, and we go out and we win 7:2, well, of course, this is an absolute miracle on ice, and the fifty-sixth year is the first olympic games, when the canadians sent... a much stronger team than in the fifty-fourth, and we win 2:0 and become olympic champions from the first sunset, sorry, 73 in 72 in the second year in montreal, isn’t this a miracle, an absolute miracle, enough miracles, i wanted to ask you about how and why the era of chernyshov and tarasov ended right before the seventy-second year, well, look, again, well, now it’s difficult to explain some such things are understandable in the soviet union, for example, there is such a p olympic

cycle, that is, a four-year period, yes, in the sixty -eighth year we are olympic champions in grenoble, the hockey team, the seventy-second year sapor ends the olympic cycle, yes, usually, what is the olympic cycle, this a new training plan, this is renewal, rejuvenation, renewal of the national team, like in the eightieth year under tikhonov, after the defeat of lake placed, and there a new generation of players is actually beginning to form, thanks to this the trio of makarov, larionov, krutov and so on, in the seventy-second year the olympic cycle ended in a sense...

and then maybe, but you see, this then maybe didn’t happen, because although we lost prague, in prague, a contract was signed in prague for the match with canada, and bobrov was already purposefully prepared to become a head coach within a year, within 2 years, again in soviet style, within the framework of soviet planned adoptions. bobrov's decisions in his headquarters were already ready to include majororovich puchkov - the coach of the leningrad sc when they say tarasov chernyshov wanted to make an attempt to return, well, it was already too late, but there are more evil versions, for example, here are the people who are still in that hockey worked in the seventy-second year, they told me that tarasov chernushov had such a tradition after another victory, come to the sports committee to the minister of sports. pavlov, the famous, legendary

pavlov, sighing and saying, well, we’re tired, that’s how it is, that usually ended with some kind of persuasion, you understand, yes, in fact, there were stakes. not very high, i mean financial, yes , it still ended with persuasion, and, as it were, an extension there, so, in this case, well, we were tired, well, why is chernyshov’s name forgotten in our minds, we keep talking about tarasov, tarasov, the head of hockey, we today we remember with you egorov, chernyshov, you definitely mention them in conjunction, everyone knows very well, well, those who follow hockey deeply, who is arkady ivanovich to what extent? he was influential in that team, he was generally the senior coach, in general, yes, in general, he is a four-time olympic champion, by the way, by the way, yes , this is generally a unique story, yes, that is, 56, 64, 68, 72, yes, and at the same time, look, renshaw’s image is almost forgotten, why did this happen, why does tarasov remain like

a real hockey icon, well, listen, tarasov indeed, he was an incredible, incredibly gifted person, in a hockey sense, in a coaching sense, a fantastic enthusiast, incredible. training, that is, everything is under the camera, everything is under a beautiful picture, but there, if before it was like this , well, such a normal training process is going on, once the camera is turned on, an eagle look, a voice, that means the weights on the barbells are increasing, it’s more fun, yes, everything goes, yes, but television loves such a picture,

he is one of the first, still a future novice coach, back in my opinion in the early fifties, he let journalists into the locker room, wow, that is, after the match he let the correspondents in, yeah, you understand, yes, that is, the man understood - and so on, so on, to say, such an absolutely natural talent, and of course, thanks to these his qualities brought him to the forefront in the media, yeah, and chernyshov in this sense was just a different person, he was more closed, more like that, unlike tarasov, he was still an active coach, he didn’t write books, he, well appeared in print, but so in general it’s enough... he couldn’t work on the ice, so he was more of a fence in the shade, and tarasov worked on the ice, again,

either in the spotlights or in the chamber, of course, the person who is on the ice, yes, this is a gradual shift towards tarassov, it began to happen in the sixties, and was already established with the help of our... friends , partners, who in the seventies, since they did not really understand what and how was happening here, they just like that called: the father of soviet hockey, officially, now, when we talk about a hockey player, we are talking about him salary, this is a millionaire who has already had a successful life, who can provide not only for himself, his family, but probably also his grandchildren , if he is a top player, stars in those days, what kind of people are these, these are incredibly wealthy citizens, well which ones, in the forties, when the era of soviet hockey began? well, listen, you probably still can’t call them incredibly wealthy, but it’s clear that a professional football and hockey player in the soviet union, that in the thirties, well, in general any years, yes, he lives better than

the average there, much better than the average working person in the country, i forgot again, what movie did he star in? runs up. the next component, an important factor , is the ability to somehow buy this money for something, yes, that is, without overpaying, that is, to gain access to certain benefits, such as a hat, a refrigerator, a sheepskin coat , a car, or the classic scheme , yes, there is a team loan during the season, let’s say there are two volgas, you buy it at

the state price, well, roughly 10,000 rubles. you got her right there you resell, well, depending on the region of a particular year, there it could be 14, 15, 16,000, that is, you immediately have six in one day. they resold the cars four or five times , that’s your income, when robert dmitrievich cherenkov, crystal’s coach in 1977, moved from saratov to moscow, becoming the head coach of moscow spartak, he personally told me this, i say i was shocked that spartak hockey players they live worse than crystal, that is, this is material support, the salary is lower, maybe a trade union the team, yes, of course, was from abroad, which was still rare in saratov.
