be called a true ice battle, a clash of two powerful superpowers, a vibrant confrontation of characters, mentalities, and established stereotypes. It was a rivalry between capitalism and socialism, transferred to the sports arena.

After this series of eight matches, the boundaries separating professional and amateur hockey players were erased. The most vivid memories of the participants in this incredible rivalry are collected in this book with the help of Tretiak, Yakushev, Dryden, and others. A book for those who love football and sports.
