He was the first person to take the Stanley Cup to Russia (1997). Fetisov also won a Stanley Cup as an assistant coach of the New Jersey Devils in 2000. Between the 1980 Olympic Silver Medal and his NHL career, he played on the Soviet's winning Olympic teams in 1984 and 1988, so he has 2 Olympic gold medals as well. In 1988 they awarded him the Order of Lenin.
