La carta, il cuoio e l’acciaio: La caduta dell’URSS attraverso le pagine de «La Gazzetta dello Sport»

Abstract

The dissolution of the Soviet Union was an event that had a profound impact on all areas, from politics to the economy, culture and, of course, sport. La Gazzetta dello Sport paid particular attention to the last moments of the Soviet Union’s life, which were important because they could have an impact on certain sporting events that were to take place shortly afterwards, but also because of what the USSR had represented in terms of sport.
