I have two old hockey sticks in my shed that were made in the ol' CCCP, and both sticks are utter shite. It is a credit to the CCCP hockey teams that won so many world championships and Olympic gold medals when you realize that they were already behind the eight ball with their rubbish equipment.
Those Soviet computers we laugh at almost put a man on the moon, dammit! Which is more than those faker Americans can say...
