There's a lot of really interesting stories about the Eastern Bloc defections into the NHL in the late 1980s. IIRC, Alexander Mogilny hid in a suitcase and defected during the World Junior Championships -- talk about bravery!
Rewatched the Russian Five movie the other day, what an interesting story.
