In 1991, right after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the ownership group from the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins planted a seed of capitalism in Russia by taking an ownership stake in Red Army hockey club. An American marketing whizz, Steve Warshaw was sent to Russia with a task to resurrect and transform the hockey team into the greatest show in Moscow. The results of this effort were bizarre, but the strategy worked. However, not everyone was satisfied with the change! (stockholmfilmfestival.se

Well told and crafted strange-but-true story; if the first half indulges too much in a jokey and juvenile sense of humour (incorporating goofy sound effects and largely irrelevant clips from Disney), it does achieve the tricky transition into the second half when mob violence gets involved and events turn very serious indeed. The sometimes slippery talking heads (on both sides) occasionally raise doubts about the veracity of the content, but at face value an engaging and entertaining ride.
