To this day, the Soviets cannot believe the Miracle on Ice. Every person I have ever met who meets Bob Suter thanks him for changing history by winning a hockey game. Hell, the Russians haven't been the same since!

en Without the Soviet Union's material base, Russia now is playing the part of a global power comparable to the United States.
