The Summer Olympic Games started in Moscow 40 years ago

Exactly 40 years ago, the opening of the XXII Summer Olympic Games, the first games in Eastern Europe, took place in the capital of the USSR. The games were opened on July 19, 1980 by the General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Leonid Brezhnev. The games featured 203 sets of awards in 21 sports.

The right to light the Olympic flame was given to the outstanding Soviet basketball player, Olympic champion in 1972, two-time world champion Sergei Belov.

The main symbol and mascot of the 80 Moscow Olympics was the Olympic Bear. It was created by the remarkable Soviet artist Viktor Chizhikov. Not everyone knows, but there was another mascot at the 1980 Olympics. It was used in sailing competitions in Tallinn, a city that actually became Olympic 40 years ago. The mascot there was the Vigri seal. It is noteworthy that this was the first time in storieswhen a particular sport at the Olympics had its own mascot. The author of the seal, as a symbol of the yachtsmen's competition, was the artist Saima Symer, and the author of the name was one of the schoolchildren of the Estonian SSR.

Western countries are known to have found a reason to boycott the Olympic Games in Moscow. The formal reason was the entry of Soviet troops into Afghanistan in 1979. However, despite the boycott by the national Olympic committees of Western countries, many athletes from Western Europe took part in the 1980 Olympic Games, performing under the Olympic flags. Several examples: athletes from Denmark, France, Portugal, Italy, Great Britain, Switzerland, the Netherlands. It is noteworthy that, speaking by no means in full force, the Italian team was able to take 5th place at the Moscow Olympics, having won a total of 15 medals of various denominations. The USSR national team became the absolute leader of the medal standings, in the piggy bank of which there are 195 medals. The second and third places are taken by the teams of the GDR and Bulgaria.

The legacy of the Olympics is not only a memory of its holding, but also many objects that are actively used to this day: sports palaces, stadiums, cycle tracks, a rowing canal, television centers, large hotels and hotel complexes.

OI-1980 was closed on August 3, 1980.

I remember. It was a wonderful time, I watched it with pleasure. It's a pity, then our GDR lost in the football semifinals. But all the same, the sea of ​​positive emotions. And when Mishka flew away ... unforgettable memories.

Quote: Van 16

And also, it was the TRIUMPH of the WILL of the USSR, then also under sanctions ...

The Olympic bear, plaster, donated in 1980, still hangs on the wall in one of the rooms ...

And I collected badges, round ones, for each sport, Bear with a ball, then with a spear. Over time, almost everyone got confused, but some survived))

July 19, 1980. Opening ceremony of the Summer Games of the XXII Olympiad.
August 3, 1980 The closing ceremony of the Games.
There were 5 million viewers in the stadiums, and taking into account the viewers -1,5 billion.
So much of everything LIGHT and SECRET fit between these two dates, that already 40 years later we recall the days of the Moscow Olympics with nostalgia!

You have an interesting analogy ....

Are you of a different opinion about the political situation of that period around the USSR?

In this case, state YOUR VISION of the historical and economic processes of the period before the Olympics, and after

I’ll tell you for "starting point", you need to take December 1979.

[Avior]

Actually, Triumph will is a film about the NSDAP congress in 1934 in Nuremberg, shot by Leni Riefenstahl.

[Insurgent]

Quote: Avior

Triumph of Will is a film about the 1934 NSDAP congress in Nuremberg

And now,based on your understanding, the combination of these words "toxic", not acceptable for use, just because at one time the Nazi propaganda film was so named ???

Are you a puritan?

And in general, amazingly, strangely, how could such a thought, such an analogy "TRIUMPH OF WILL = NAZISM" arise in your head and apply it to the USSR?

[Revolver]

Quote: Insurgent

And now, based on your understanding, the combination of these words is "toxic", not acceptable for use,

You know, in the same way it can be stated that the swastika is ancient Nazism and was a symbol of light and good in India and elsewhere. But only since the Nazis appropriated it, the meaning of this symbol is very unambiguous and not interpretable. As well, the rainbow, since it was appropriated by perverts, has become a symbol of perversions.

[Insurgent]

Quote: Nagan

likewise, the rainbow, since perverts appropriated it, has become a symbol of perversions.

M-da-aaaa ... Turns out I'm a pervert

After all, when I see a rainbow in the sky, as before as a child, I stare at her with admiration, with indescribable joy and delight ...

And the most shameful thing - DO NOT BE ashamed of it...

Don't you think there is a difference between a rainbow in the sky and rainbow flags?

[tralflot1832]

The "rainbow" colors on the flag have fewer .. And the rainbow: Does every hunter want to know where the pheasant is sitting? 6/7. So the rear-wheel drive has not been privatized to the rainbow !!! But still, their attempt with the flag is angry.

[Svarog]

Quote: Nagan

As well, the rainbow, since it was appropriated by perverts, has become a symbol of perversions.

I think that a rainbow, "as a symbol of perversion," can only appear in a perverted head .. A rainbow remains a rainbow despite sick fantasies .. what if perverts choose the sun as their symbol .. that children cannot draw the sun either? What nonsense.

[Archivist Vasya]

You're talking about garbage, as in the case of the swastika, so about the rainbow. Adequate and intelligent people know that the swastika, as you yourself CORRECTLY wrote, is one of the oldest religious symbols in India and Buddhism in general. And the rainbow is a symbol of Good luck!

[Avior]

The fact that the swastika image, the symbol of the Sun, is unacceptable, since it is perceived as a symbol of Nazism, does not surprise you?

And "Fantu" and "Pepsi", and chewing gum "Strawberry" and "Orange"

At the Kiev airport "Borispol" were sold tiny (for one sip) triangular bags with milk or cream. For one glass of coffee. And smoked sausage, 2 pieces in a "vacuum" package.
Then it all disappeared. I remember it because I had to hang around on patrol just in the Olympics.

It’s a pity, ours then lost in the GDR soccer semifinal.

Yes, and the loss was strange, as well as with Czechoslovakia in 1/4 EURO-76. A sensation was brewing when a team from socialist Germany could become the winner of a major international tournament.
Before that, having a very strong team, the GDR appeared only once at the World Cup, in 1974, where they managed to beat the FRG MOST national team. And, now, there was a chance, with the help of the "big brother" to get the star ... It did not grow together. In the final of the OI-80 in Luzhniki, the Germans lost to the Yugoslavs 0: 2.

[Magog]

How many romantics, it turns out, live here! I personally participated in the opening and closing ceremonies of the games. The Opening was more memorable. More extensive preparation, more emotion. Recall, for example, the performances of young gymnasts, the famous living "flower beds" to the music of Doga and Rachmaninoff! Suite "Friendship of Peoples". Where, in what country of the world was such a charming diversity of cultures preserved? I took part in Russian dance. I remember the dancers from Belarus, Ukraine (they did not feel the difference in mentality and training at all), warm memories from communicating with dancers from Tajikistan and Uzbeks ... and unpleasant memories of the cold contemptuous participation of the Balts and Georgians (not all, really!).
They were preparing for the Closing already during the competition. I remember sitting with the guys in the Luzhniki stands very close to the Olympic flame in the nightly "hassle" of rehearsals. Someone asked to light a light - for some reason no one found it. I didn’t see it myself, but the person who asked went up to the Chalice of Fire and somehow lit a cigarette: he returned with a light of a cigarette! All smokers immediately began to light a cigarette only at his place!
Not for romantics. "Olympiad" - in the Middle Ages, the method of summer reckoning for four years (for leap years). The "Olympic Games" of antiquity were founded by Christ himself in honor of his "father" Joseph Comnenus - the "god of war", protector. They were held during all four years in different places (and not only sports), Christ himself also participated in the first games and distinguished himself as an athlete and a skilled archer. The tradition of the torch relay of the Olympic flame was first proposed at the 1936 games in Berlin by Goebbels ... Since then it has not been revised, and the "swastika" is prohibited. Then ...

The time was wonderful, the whole country watched the games then, the Bear was at every step, We were sad when he flew away, but I don’t remember the seal, I don’t know why

At the end of the rounds, Peter Zaev wanted to shake hands, the Cuban looked at this contemptuously.

But in vain. But I'm not talking about gymnastics at home, but about real gymnastics, although something can be modeled at home as well. I once asked my father - what is the coolest sport for war? He answered - boxing and gymnastics. He has been doing this and that since childhood. Then - the Marine Corps of the Black Sea Fleet, then - the assault regiment in Budapest, and then to the demobilization in intelligence. I only appreciated gymnastics at school - exercises on the apparatus - this is really cool! I don’t remember the number of the exercise, when on the crossbar you swing back, turn around, and then do another coup. Now scary to imagine But as a fact - in space you feel yourself "your own person"! There was also such a thing - you run, the bridge, you push, you need to make a number of different figures and get on your feet. After the army, already, I go with the guests with my wife and breastfeeding daughter in my arms. The tram rails are smeared with something slippery. He stepped, began to fall, but - a controlled somersault, black marks on the shirt, and the daughter did not even wake up. Gymnastics rules!
And yes, instead of boxing - a melee. Well, just in the 30s she was not. And so the father was 100% right. Gymnastics must be done! About 30 years old.

40 years have passed, the IOC has recognized the Moscow Olympmada's bikecotting as erroneous. 2054 will the IOC recognize McLaren's report as erroneous and return all the gold to Russia or sooner?

[Catfish]

I lived in Moscow on Tsvetnoy Boulevard and the Olympic Stadium was a five-minute walk from the house, the city was literally swept away before the start, there were almost nobody on the streets.
But most of all I remember not the Games, but the funeral of Vladimir Vysotsky. It seemed that everyone who had stayed in Moscow gathered on Taganka, there was nowhere for the apple to fall, either in the square or in the alleys. Before the Olympics, many operational units were created to maintain order, mainly from students, they even gave out special uniforms and the people sat at strong points. Many were sent to the Taganka for the funeral. I was no longer a student, but I went there to my friend from Baumanka and, willy-nilly, I had to put myself in a chain. The nightmare was complete, people almost climbed each other’s heads to break through to the theater, since the time of Stalin’s funeral I don’t remember this. Well, we got drunk, respectively, after Baumantsev was replaced by others.
My friend later composed the following rhymes about the Olympics:

"And in nature, flowering, as luck would have it,
Poplar fluff - even a dime a dozen,
That there is fluff, then the police crawled
Don't go outside ... "

The games, of course, are interesting to watch on TV, but being in the city where they are held is somehow not very good.

With this approach, the sky, if you look at it - and it is blue - nadot will be called a sky in RGB or CMYK colors !!!

Cool time, youth. Artillery camp gathering -Otar range, not cold T-about 40, Fresh mountain breeze with healing dust. Flushing out salts and toxins (sauna in one's own sweat), moderate occupational therapy and dosed physical activity with a certain way of packed iron. Guaranteed nutrition, balanced diet. Disco with a predominance of percussion instruments. Beauty, like in a resort (only girls don't get it).

A. Banks yes. But we rarely used three-liter ones.
Usually for sour cream they took with them a liter or 0,7 with a plastic lid. I split this at the age of 6 in a shop with sour cream. I brought my mom a cover. 3L cans were also brought to the barrel of beer, but more for consumption on the spot, instead of a mug.

Yes, when there was a "yellow barrel on wheels", then there were a dozen mugs, no more. And there are always more residents. They came up with anything. But when the "struggle with her, darling" began and the circles were removed, then yes, only to banks ...

By the way, I just read your post and remembered my childhood. They lived then in the Poltava region. Around 66-67, my father was on exercises in winter. There were dust storms at that time. The temperature is somewhere around 30. When the father returned from the exercises, his face was brown (weathered) and only wrinkles were light.
