Гоголь | Gogol, 1x04

[here-be-words]

Ostap Bender lag in der warmen, übelriechnedne Hausmeisterwohnung und bedachte eine vielleicht noch mögliche Variante seines künftigen Lebens. Er konnte Heiratsschwindler werden und ruhig von Stadt zu Stadt fahren, mit einem neuen Koffer. In ihm die Wertsachen verlassener Ehefrauen. Diese Variante aber hatte ihre Nachteile. Die Karriere eines Heiratsschwindlers ohne einen entzückenden grau gestreiften Anzug zu beginnen, war eine aussichtslose Sache.

Hello! May I ask for more Soviet hockey soft facts, 70s edition? Been struggling finding inspiration to write lately; at least said facts will cheer me up. Have a great one :D

Of course! These are the first to come to mind, I hope you enjoy them

Soft hockey facts of the '70s

'70s CSKA/national teammates Boris Mikhailov and Yevgeny Mishakov were childhood friends. They grew up in the same housing block and built the makeshift rink in its yard together, using boards that Boris stole from local construction sides (or at least tried to, sometimes he set his eyes on a board too big for his small frame and the local beat cop would find him struggling along, unwilling to let go of his prize, and make him put it back. As soon as the cop was gone, Boris would make off with another.)

Mishakov was the one who gave Mikhailov what became his hockey nickname, Пыря, referring to his pointy nose. When Boris met Tatiana, Mishakov called her 'Button' because he thought it was hilarious how her little round nose and Boris' beak fit together

It would also be Yevgeny who recommended Boris to Coach Tarasov's attention. When Coach Tarasov took Boris onto the team, Tarasov liked to be an uncle and made sure to give him lots of advice about how to drink alcohol. He handed Boris a shot of vodka; Boris knocked it back in one and Tarasov looked impressed and commented, "Ah, on the first time!" Boris had to say that actually, he was 25 years old, he just looked like a teenager

I've probably shared this before but it's the best: Boris says when "Petrov and I came to CSKA, he was 80 kg, I was 60. And they put the same weights in my hands! They also put Volodya on my back! I was suffocating in five minutes - and he could carry me at least half a day. I'm a fly for him."

I think some kind of BFF rivalry may have developed, because Petrov really liked telling a story about how they were supposed to carry weights while jumping and Mishakov messed up, bonked his own head with his weight, and nearly passed out at the sight of the blood. That's, like, the opposite of soft from Mishakov's perspective, but I find Petrov being a jock and a jerk charming.

Boris insisted he didn't pick his number 13 for superstitious reasons, and if goalies wanted to be scared of it/him, that was totally on them. He also lived on the 13th floor of his apartment building, but that really wasn't for superstitious reasons. Gennadiy "Tiger" Tsygankov had had the 13th floor apartment while Boris was supposed to be on a higher floor, but Gennadi thought it was too funny not to/maybe wanted a better view, and insisted they swap.

Petrov either actually was superstitious or thought it was funny, and claimed he was a psychic whenever he accurately guessed anything

Tiger Tsygankov loved giving relationship advice; his roommate and partner Vladimir Lutchenko jokingly complained that he never got to sleep on time because teammates were constantly knocking on their door to beg Tsygankov's help

Lutchenko was also exasperated that their teammates called Tsygankov a Caspian tiger when obviously he was a Siberian tiger. (If anyone didn't know, western Russia used to have their own tigers, which apparently were more of a cinnamon color, while Siberian tigers are lighter orange, less stripy, and fluffier. )

Despite that defense of his partner's Siberianness Lutchenko himself was raised by his mother in a village of what he describes as "three houses" outside Moscow. When he visited her he would only go at night so he could dodge the village gossips.

Anatoli Firsov was so undersized when he first came to the national team that his unfortunate hockey nickname was Skeleton. His father had been killed in the war when he was a newborn, and everyone including Firsov knew Coach Tarasov had taken him onto the team and was soft on him because as soon as Tarasov saw him he felt like Anatoli's second dad. Anatoli had grown up making his own sticks out of tree branches and bits of horse tack he took from local stables, and as soon as he became a professional sticks were his passion. When North Americans started curving their blades, Firsov wanted one so bad. He kept bringing his experimental curved stick onto the ice; Tarasov would yell at him to get off and Anatoli would wheedle with him, until the coach gave up. But like so many middle-aged dads, Coach Tarasov didn't want to admit he'd changed his mind, so he just started pretending he couldn't see it. No one but Anatoli would be allowed a curved blade for a few more years.

Firsov was one of the players who particularly loved the theater and introduced many of his teammates along. He made friends with many Moscow actors, who gave him "brilliant acting lessons. From them I learned to be an actor on ice. Sometimes, in a duel with an opponent, I could fall so beautifully, while making an appropriate grimace on my face, that the official, without hesitation, sent my counterpart to the penalty box".

Victor Konovalenko, meanwhile, was a passionate dancer, and would rather the team went to the bars with music.

Women's Day was just about the biggest day of a hockey player's year; besides the year that Tsygankov undercut everybody else by taking all their wives plus Valeri Kharlamov's sister out to brunch, there was one year when the players snuck out of the training compound to meet their wives and girlfriends at the old hotel restaurant in the village. During the covert meal someone called out that the coaches were coming in, and the hockey players all broke and ran or dove under the table to hide in their (and each other's) wives' skirts. After the chaos the women figured out it had been a prank and laughed themselves sick, collecting their flustered husbands from each other's laps. (No one ever figured out who the prankster had been.)
