[Theokritos]

1984-1985

 

[Staniowski]

Sokol Kiev goaltender Yuri Shundrov received a lot of votes from the Kiev voters. I don't think I ever saw him play, so I don't know if it was deserved or not.

The four Chelyabinsk voters all voted for Chelyabinsk natives Sergei Makarov at #1 and Slava Bykov at #3, with four different players at #2. Of course there is nothing unusual about Makarov receiving that kind of support, but perhaps Bykov got a little boost from the hometown voters.

Bykov did have a good season, though, and he was certainly a very good player.

Bykov did have a good season, though, and he was certainly a very good player.

And Balderis got all of his 84-85 votes from hometown voters. Varnakov almost all of his.

Noteworthy: The share of voters based outside of Moscow went up from initially 23% (late 60s) to 44% (1985).

1989-1990

 

[Theokritos]

The edition with the 1990 voting results was one of the last issues of "Football-Hockey". It was replaced by two new weeklies, one named "Football" (official magazine of the Soviet soccer federation, from June 1990 on)...

...and the other named "Hockey" (official magazine of the Soviet hockey federation, from March 1991 on).

 

[Rogue Leader]

This is amazing! Thank you!

 

[MaxV]

Great find.

It’s interesting seeing some forgotten players get votes, although it appears often it’s more of “homer” picks.

[Theokritos]

1990-1991

 

[Theokritos]

The main work in this thread is finished as the 1991 voting was the last best player voting among Soviet journalists.

 

[Theokritos]

Let's attempt to look into the individual years.

1967-1968 (51 voters)

#	Player:	Pos:	Team:	Pts:	1st:	2nd:	3rd:
1.	Anatoli Firsov	LW	CSKA	137	38	10	3
2.	Vyacheslav Starshinov	C	Spartak	84	10	23	8
3.	Viktor Konovalenko	G	Gorky	49	2	12	19
4.	Yevgeni Zimin	RW	Spartak	13	0	4	5
5.	Alexander Ragulin	D	CSKA	5	0	0	5
6.	Veniamin Alexandrov	LW	CSKA	4	1	0	1
6.	Viktor Yakushev	C	Lokomotiv	4	0	1	2
8.	Boris Mayorov	LW	Spartak	3	0	1	1
8.	Viktor Blinov	D	Spartak	3	0	0	3
10.	Vitali Davydov	D	Dinamo	2	0	0	2
10.	Viktor Polupanov	C	CSKA	2	0	0	2

​

A clear win for Firsov, but as noted, Starshinov would be his equal if we disregard voters from Moscow, in fact he would be ahead on the tie-breaker (first-place votes). How come? One key is that the sample size is relatively small (39 voters from Moscow, only 12 voters from other places). For Starshinov to be Firsov's equal outside of Moscow, it was actually enough for him to be ahead in just two places (Kiev and Novosibirsk). Leningrad, Gorky and Sverdlovsk had Firsov ahead.
What strikes me as significant is the difference between Moscow voters and Non-Moscow voters when it comes to players other than Firsov, Starshinov and Konovalenko. The Non-Moscow voters didn't give any vote at all to other players. No Zimin, no Ragulin, no-one else. For them, Firsov and Starshinov were the two visibly outstanding skaters in the country, unanimously. Moscow voters on the other hand were more split on Starshinov: the majority (27 out of 39) also had him as the top Spartak player, but 7 voters disagreed and rated other Spartak players higher:

• Goryanov: Zimin
• Kirillyuk: Zimin and Blinov
• Konovalyuk: Zimin
• Rubin: Zimin
• Shirokov: Mayorov and Blinov
• Trifonov: Zimin
• Ulyanov: Zimin

And then we have 5 voters who neither had Starshinov nor any other Spartak player on their ballot and opted for other players (not counting Firsov and Konovalenko) altogether:

• Medvedevsky: Yakushev
• Metayev: Ragulin
• Pakhomov: Yakushev
• Pisarevsky: Alexandrov
• Vinokurov: Alexandrov, Davydov

So the Moscow opinions were a little more diverse on Starshinov (overall he was still the #2 among them) than on Firsov:

• No Moscow voter had Firsov lower than #2.
• 38 out of 39 Moscow voters had Firsov as the top CSKA player. Only one had Alexandrov ahead.

So presumably the frequent exposure to Spartak games led to a bit more diversity of opinion in Moscow than the frequent exposure to CSKA games.

This time we have a relatively narrow win by Firsov and a voter field that is widely split.

What must have played a big role in the voting is that Spartak Moscow upset CSKA (again) and won the domestic championship. Only 4 CSKA players received votes that season compared to 8 Spartak players. Here's how the CSKA players did in the voting:

Kharlamov 8-8-5 = 45 points
Firsov 8-8-3 = 43 points
Mikhailov 5-2-4 = 23 points
Ragulin 0-1-3 = 5 points

Outside of Moscow:
Firsov 5-4-2 = 25 points
Kharlamov 0-2-2 = 6 points
Mikhailov 1-2-0 = 5 points
Ragulin 0-0-2 = 2 points

The line Kharlamov – Petrov – Mikhailov had their great breakout year. Both of the wingers feature prominently on the ballots and in Moscow Kharlamov even edged out Firsov. The latter however left Kharlamov far behind on Non-Mosocw ballots. Did Firsov stand out so much at first sight (but not at second sight) that the Non-Moscow voters felt compelled to rate him higher while the Moscow voters who saw CSKA more often put Kharlamov on par with him and even slightly ahead? That could account for some of the discrepancy, but hardly for all of it (45 : 43 in Moscow, 6 : 25 outside of Moscow).

Now, one of our eternal questions is: How much impact did domestic performance have on the ballots and how much did international performance have? Kharlamov had a very good 1969 World Championship, but Firsov was rated even higher (at least by the international voters). So perhaps his World Championship performance gave Firsov a boost in the voting vis-a-vis Kharlamov, especially among Non-Moscow journalists, while Moscow voters were more impacted by the numerous league games they saw? So Kharlamov (and presumably Zinger too) would possibly have done better relative to Firsov if the entire voting was based strictly on league performances?

Let's turn to the Spartak players:

In Moscow:
Zinger 8-10-7 =51 points
Starshinov 6-7-7 = 39 points
Yakushev 2-4-5 = 19 points
Zimin 3-1-1 = 12 points
Mayorov 1-0-2 = 5 points
Paladyev 0-1-1 = 3 points

Outside of Moscow:
Starshinov 5-1-0 = 16 points
Zinger 1-3-3 = 12 points
Yakushev 1-0-0 = 3 points
Paladyev 0-0-1 = 1 point

(Single votes for Shadrin and Kuzmin ignored.)

For once we have an example where the question of domestic vs international impact can be answered with certainty: Alexander Yakushev owed all of his ballots to his league performance. Domestically he was the top goal scorer with 50 goals (the next best scorers were Starshinov with 40, Kharlamov with 37 and Mikhailov with 36 goals), but then he had a very underwhelming 1969 World Championship. At Spartak Moscow, he was allowed to cherry pick while his linemates did the defensive work and served to set him up for scoring opportunities. It was very effective for Spartak and convinced several voters to put Yakushev on their ballots. But with the national team, Yakushev was required to work like everybody else and became a non-factor: he lost his roster spot after scoring just 1 goal in 6 games.

An interesting voting result. CSKA won back the domestic championship and the trio Kharlamov – Petrov – Mikhailov had another great season, but they disappointed at the 1970 World Championship. Petrov was even benched. The similarity to Alexander Yakushev's 1968-1969 is evident: great domestic scoring exploits (Petrov topped the league with 51 goals – the next best was Mikhailov with 40) and team success, then a weak World Championship. But while Yakushev earned at least some votes in 1969, Petrov ended up almost empty handed in 1970. He must have been very visibly overshadowed by his linemate Kharlamov, I guess. The results of the other CSKA stars are a bit curious. Firsov didn't have his best World Championship (he wasn't fully healthy), but still made the All-star team. There's nothing indicating he sucked in the league either. And yet, he received very few votes. His linemate Vikulov (no international honours, but played a good World Championship nevertheless) is actually the highest ranking CSKA player. A little puzzling. I think it was @Batis It was @DN28 who once suggested that Firsov was possibly measured against the lofty standards he had set before rather than strictly against his peers in 1969-1970?

Alexander Maltsev scored a lot for Dinamo Moscow and was the big star at the 1970 World Championship. But there was also the opinion that his international performance owed a lot to his move from center to right wing. Starshinov at center freed him of defensive work and Maltsev excelled. This could explain why Maltsev didn't stand out even more in the voting.

Starshinov was obviously the one viewed as carrying Spartak to their 2nd place in the league and he had a good World Championship. His skating had never been his strongest suit though and now he was getting up there in age. Overall his 3rd place/2nd place among skaters looks reasonable.

Konovalenko had something of a career year and got a lot of recognition. I think it's very much up to debate whether goaltenders like him and Zinger ever really deserved to be ranked higher than the likes of Firsov, Starshinov, Kharlamov etc if we look at the players in a global comparison, but within the framework of Soviet hockey the ranking probably made sense at the time, in particular in a season where no skaters stood out completely and without qualms attached.
