Post #3 Semester 1: For my monthly event for the month of November/December, I attended “When are we going to win again”: Hockey and politics in Putin’s Russia with Bruce Berglund. As someone that is relatively uninformed when it comes to the history of the United States and our relations with Russia/ the Soviet Union, I found a lot of pleasure in listening to Mr. Berglund over the digital platform of Facebook Live. One of the main focuses of the discussion was hockey, a sport that meant more than just a scoreboard during the times that the United States went on the ice rink against the Soviet Union. Because this related to sports a little bit, it was very engaging to listen to. Overall, I thought that this event was very intriguing because of the interest I have for sports and their history around the world. Even though I struggled to completely understand the more modern political discussions that happened about what was going on in Russia, I found the speaker to be one that hand picked information to engage his audience in an effective manner. I would recommend this session to anyone that has interest for sports and how they mean more to countries than just a game between two teams.
