This movie alludes to 1950 plane crash in Sverdlovsk that killed all nineteen on-board, including eleven players from the Soviet Air Force ice hockey team, the team doctor, and a masseur. Vasili Stalin, the team's patron, so feared his father's reaction that he tried to downplay the seriousness of the crash, and rushed to recruit replacement players in hopes that his father wouldn't find out.
