Domestic researchers of the history of sports journalism discovered a valuable document in the restroom of the "Sport-Excess" newspaper – a notebook. Unfortunately, it was not possible to accurately determine the author of this most intriguing work. On the cover, in illegible handwriting, it says: Ig.. (splattered) ..ь Rab..(stained)..r. Some pages are irrevocably lost, which is not surprising, given the location where it was found.
And yet, we can present to the inquisitive reader some excerpts from this most interesting source.
