What the cited sources add
Sportswriter Alexander Tarakanov noted that Russians remembered the way the Soviet team used to be.[8] The article also reported that the famed Red Army team was renamed the Russian Penguins after an agreement with the Pittsburgh franchise.[8] Assistant coach Igor Dimitriev said the beginning of the end of the dynasty came a long time ago.[8] In 1994, journalist Vsevolod Kukushkin stated that the Russian populace was displeased and that the team lacked any financial support from the national government.[8][9]
Kukushkin further noted that the Russian public was angered by the departure of the country's top players to the NHL.[8][9]
