Disclaimer; Sambo is a Russian martial art and combat sport;"SAMBO" is an acronym for SAMooborona Bez Oruzhiya, which literally translates as "self-defense without weapons". Called "Sombo" in english at times due to the racially-charged feel of the word in USA.
Your challenge is to bring this art/sport into the west, and make it big if possible. How 'big'? Maybe grand popularity along a certain russophiliac edge in slavic nations, by example... Maybe a World Union.. A sport in the Olympics...
Would an early fall of USSR help it? A rise of the left in North America? A large expats communauty? An official program of it in Warsaw Pact?
