– The author’s detainment by the Czechoslovak secret police in 1983;
– The nuclear plant explosion in Chernobyl, which occurred during the 1986 World Championship in Moscow;
– The defection of Soviet hockey star Alexander Mogilny following the 1989 World Championship in Stockholm;
– The fall of the Berlin Wall, which took place in November of 1989 while the author was in Moscow;
– The uprising in Kiev, Ukraine, which occurred during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, leading to Russia’s annexation of Crimea.
