Troika Mikhailov-Petrov-Kharlamov
CSKA's three forwards were created over a
period of 3.5 years. First, Boris Mikhailov
appeared in CSKA. Since 1967, Vladimir
Petrov began to appear in the base of the
army, who was considered as a replacement
for Alexander Almetov, who was retiring from
hockey. At the same time, Mikhailov and
Petrov did not compete for a place in the
base — the coaches considered them as
complementary. For the first time in the 196768 season, they played together with
Veniamin Alexandrov, and after the CSKA
team went to the games in Japan, Kharlamov
joined the trio.

Car accident in 1976
On Thursday, may 26, 1976, the Kharlamovs were
involved in a car accident on the Leningrad
highway while returning from a night out. Valery,
who was driving, decided to overtake a slowmoving truck (although at the same time
oncoming at a short distance was another truck).
When leaving the oncoming lane, I saw that a
taxi was rushing at him from behind an oncoming
truck. Turning sharply to the left, he left the road
and crashed into a post. Two months later, in
August, he took his first independent steps around
the ward. Later in the ward, a special room was
equipped for him, where he had weights and
where he could do athletic exercises.

Death
On Thursday, August 27, 1981, at seven
o'clock in the morning, an accident
occurred on 74 km of the Leningrad
highway, which led to the death of a
hockey player. Valery, Irina and her
cousin Sergey Ivanov were returning to
the city from their dacha in Pokrovka
near Klin in their Volga, numbered 00-17
MMB. Irina, who was driving, lost control
on a road slick with rain, and the car was
carried into the oncoming lane, where it
collided with a ZIL truck (crashed into the
truck sideways and from a strong impact
rolled into a ditch). From the received
traumas all passengers "Volga" have died
on the spot.
