एक विडंबना यह है कि सोवियत संघ, जो कि सबसे दमनकारी व्यवस्थाओं में से एक था और जहाँ व्यक्ति की कोई इज़्ज़त नहीं थी, वहाँ से जाने कैसे दुनिया की सबसे आज़ाद हॉकी शैली पैदा हुई। जब ये खिलाड़ी आइस रिंक पर उतरते थे, तो ऐसा लगता था जैसे हम जैज़ संगीत सुन रहे हों। वे कुछ भी कर सकते थे। मुझे यह बात एक विरोधाभास लगती है। यह दिलचस्प है क्योंकि मुझे लगता है कि उत्तर अमेरिकी शैली में इतनी आज़ादी नहीं थी। वहाँ रचनात्मकता को बढ़ावा नहीं दिया जाता था।

One ironic thing is that although (the Soviet Union) was one of the most oppressive systems, with no respect for the individual, it somehow produced the freest hockey on the planet. These guys, when they got on the ice, it was like watching jazz. They could do anything. I find that a paradox. It's interesting because I think the North American style was a lot less free. It was not encouraged to be creative.

अनातोली तारासोव, जिन्होंने सोवियत खेल शैली की शुरुआत की थी, वे एक दूरदर्शी इंसान थे। वे लीक से हटकर सोचने वाले थे। उन्होंने बैले, शतरंज और कला का अध्ययन किया था और बहुत किताबें पढ़ी थीं।

एक फिल्ममेकर के तौर पर मैं जो कुछ भी जानता हूँ, उसका श्रेय हॉकी को जाता है। हॉकी सिखाती है कि टीम वर्क क्या होता है, लोगों के साथ मिलकर कैसे काम किया जाता है, उनके साथ रचनात्मक कैसे बना जाता है और हर किसी से उसका बेस्ट कैसे निकाला जाता है। हर इंसान में अलग हुनर होता है, और आपको हर किसी की खूबी को उभारना होता है, अपनी ताकतों का इस्तेमाल करके साथ मिलकर काम करना होता है। आपको पुरानी लकीर पीटने के बजाय कुछ नया करना होता है और नए आयामों को छूना होता है।

खेल साहित्य की तरह होता है। लोग इसे देखते हैं और अगर यह सुंदर है और इसमें हिंसा नहीं है, तो इसके जो भी संदेश लोग इसमें देखते हैं, वे उससे यह निष्कर्ष निकाल सकते हैं कि, "वाह! ज़रा देखिए, वे लोग जो भी कर रहे हैं, वह असाधारण है, और शायद उनकी संस्कृति कुछ मायनों में हमारी संस्कृति से बेहतर है।"

Sports is like literature. People watch it and if it's beautiful and it's non-violent, whatever messages that you see, people can read into it and say, "Wow! You know what? Whatever they're doing over there, it's extraordinary, and maybe that culture is superior to ours in certain ways."

स्लावा फेतिसोव के बारे में मुझे जो बात सबसे दिलचस्प लगी, वह यह कि उन्होंने सोवियत हॉकी के तीन अलग-अलग दौर देखे थे। 70 के दशक के आखिर में उन्होंने 'मिरेकल ऑन आइस' का अनुभव किया, फिर 80 के दशक में अपने साथियों के साथ मिलकर 'रसियन फाइव' (रूसी पंच) का हिस्सा बने, जो हॉकी के इतिहास की सबसे खूंखार और दबंग टीम थी। इसके बाद, जब सोवियत संघ का पतन हुआ तो उन्होंने उस पुरानी हॉकी व्यवस्था को गिराने में मदद की, एनएचएल (NHL) में खेलने वाले शुरुआती खिलाड़ियों में से एक बने, और आखिर में लौटकर वापस रूस आ गए।

What I found interesting about Slava Fetisov was that he went through three different generations of Soviet hockey. In the late 70's, he experienced the Miracle on Ice, and then in the 80's became with his teammates the Russian Five, the most dominant team in the history of hockey, and then helped bring down the hockey system when the Soviet Union collapsed and became one of the first players to play in the NHL, and then ultimately came back to Russia.

मुझे लगता है कि इसका सबसे बड़ा उदाहरण उत्तर अमेरिका में देखने को मिलता है, जहाँ अगर खिलाड़ी के पास puck को आगे बढ़ाने का मौका न हो, तो उसे यह निर्देश दिया जाता है कि वह puck को विरोधी पाले में फेंक दे। बस puck को जाने दे और उसे आगे धकेल दे। उसे विरोधी टीम को सौंप दे। लेकिन सोवियत सोच वाले कोचों के लिए यह बात बिल्कुल बेतुकी थी। अगर आप एक हुनरमंद खिलाड़ी हैं, तो आप अपनी puck विरोधी टीम को क्यों देंगे? बिना संघर्ष किए उसे क्यों जाने देंगे, है ना?

I guess the prime example is in North America there's a thing where if there's no opportunity to move forward with the puck, then a [hockey] player is told to dump the puck into the other zone. Just give up the puck and dump it in. Give it to the other team. And to the Soviet mentality in coaching, it just doesn't make any sense. If you're a skilled player, why are you going to give the puck away to the other team? Just give it away, right?

अमेरिका में कोच अक्सर पड़ोस के किसी आम पिता जैसे होते थे। उनके पास कोई औपचारिक ट्रेनिंग नहीं होती थी। वे बस पुराने हॉकी खिलाड़ियों की तरह होते थे। वे स्कूल जाकर कोई पढ़ाई नहीं करते थे।

In the U.S., coaches could be the father next door. They had no formal training. They're like old hockey players. They don't go to school and study.

जब मैंने सोवियत हॉकी और उसके खिलाड़ियों की कहानी को गहराई से टटोला, तो मुझे एहसास हुआ कि इसका हॉकी से कोई लेना-देना नहीं है। यह उससे कहीं बड़ी कहानी थी। इसमें हॉकी तो बस एक ज़रिया थी, जिसके ज़रिए सोवियत संघ के उत्थान और पतन, रूसी लोगों की ज़िंदगी, उनकी दोस्ती और धोखे, उनके डर और दमन, और दुनिया भर के लोगों और देशों के लिए खेल के असली मायने को दिखाया गया था, और यह भी कि कैसे खेल का इस्तेमाल एक राजनीतिक हथियार के रूप में किया गया था।

When I looked into the story of Soviet hockey and its players, I realized that it has nothing to do with hockey. It was a larger story using hockey as a window into the story of the rise and fall of the Soviet Union, the Russian people, with friendships and betrayals, paranoia and oppression, and the meaning of sports to people and nations around the world, and how sports was used as a political tool.
