VOICE OVER: Rebecca Brayton
Some of the biggest stars in today's NHL are of Russian descent; but there was a time not so long ago that these players would never have been allowed to play in North America – at least not without putting up a brutal fight first. Covert operations to help talented players defect from the motherland were just the start of the drama. In this video, http://www.WatchMojo.com speaks with author Tal Pinchevsky about his book "Breakaway: From Behind the Iron Curtain to the NHL--The Untold Story of Hockey's Great Escapes." He gives us his top 5 trivia facts about the KHL, and the history of hockey in the Soviet Union.
