In Soviet Russia, Trivia Solves You

This question verified for me what I already knew from reading Russian literature: when you put a bunch of Russian names together, it's impossible to remember who they are. I put in a few gimmes: Stalin, Kruschev, and Gorbachev are all well-known Soviet leaders, so I imagine the two real choices were Chernenko and Shevchenko.

Shevy can't believe what he's seeing in the trivia results!
Andriy Shevchenko was a star forward in what Europeans call football for the Ukrainian national team, AC Milan, and other clubs. Hardly the socialist despot my respondents believed him to be!

This week I'm posing a simple true/false question in honor of the NHL season now underway:

True or false: Wayne Gretzky is the only player to ever reach 200 points in an NHL season.


Good luck!
