Larionov
Larionov by Igor Larionov, co-authored with Jim Taylor and Leonid Reizer, with a foreword by Pat Quinn. Published in 1990, this biography tells the extraordinary story of one of the Soviet Union’s greatest hockey players.
Larionov was the cerebral center of the legendary KLM Line—alongside Sergei Makarov and Vladimir Krutov—and a key figure in Soviet hockey dominance. But this book goes beyond the ice: it chronicles his decade-long struggle against the rigid Soviet sports system and his eventual defection to play in the NHL, including his time with the Vancouver Canucks.
It’s a rare inside look at Soviet hockey from the player’s perspective, filled with personal reflections, cultural insights, and the emotional toll of fighting for freedom in both sport and life.
