		The next serious attempt to introduce hockey to the Soviet Union was undertaken in 1935, but plans for the game were not implemented until the winter of 1938.
		The results of the three-game series (the Moscow Selects won 6-3, lost 5-3 and tied 2-2) surprised everyone, but even more surprising was the success of the Soviet national team when it entered the World Championships for the first time in 1954.
		Since then, Russia has become the successor to the former USSR, though the Russians have struggled on the international scene despite winning a silver medal at the 1998 Olympics in Nagano and Bronze in the 2002 Salt Lake Winter Olympics.
