Understand this....these games were marred by the political climate, bad decision to boycott these games! You can see how GREATLY the boycott impacted these games. Level of competition was anything but fairly competed! Thus enabling the USSR and German Democratic Republic to win the majority of medals awarded(hallow victory)! Boycott wreaks havoc over the opening ceremonies. Participating countries at it's all time lowest in modern Olympic history.. sadly you can see the end result by the almost sparse infield area were participating countries congregated...OUCH! No televised reception in US. Very FEW Americans saw these games...televised or in person..just sad altogether!

@@@kidmack1121 This is just a part of the story. The Carter government was not willing to excuse for the rescue operation for two EDS employees in Tehran in 1979 (in the early days of the Iranian revolution). EDS was the company of Ross Perot. The book resp. the movie "On Wings Of Eagles" provides you with background information. If the Carter administration had cooperated with the new Iranian regime the hostage-taking in the US-embassy would have been over very quickly. But since this was not the case the kidnappers decided that at least the current government (the Carter administration) should be replaced. Therefore it was necessary to extend the hostage until the next presidential election day, 4th Nov. 1980. On the same day, 20th January 1981, Ronald Reagan moved into the White House the hostages were released.

Misha’s farewell is so touching. Because Soviet people, usually didn’t had the chance to experience such events and / or meet foreigners…. This was a special occasion for them. It brings me tears.

The best Olympic Games ever!

Wowa. How could we all miss this bombshell in this official 1980 Moscow Summer Olympic film? It contains two songs by Living Sound, an American-British GOSPEL music group! What was going on in 1979-1980 at the height of the Cold War with Brezhnev running the Communist Party? Not to mention that the Americans had boycotted the 1980 Games over the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Were the Soviet COMMUNISTS sending a signal that things were changing? This is a huge discovery folks, if I do say so myself. Earthshaking in fact. Has any journalist or historian ever wrote about this? This blows my little mind.

My grandma went to Moscow to enjoy the games. I've got some souvenirs and pins yet.

Stephen R you're welcome.

Incidentally, the preceding words are spoken by Leschenko who hosted the ceremony - and the Russian name Lev is only popular among Jews because it resembles the Jewish name Leib(a) :) He's actually an Ukrainian, hence the -enko ending. Anyway, as the film was scored by the composer Alexandra PAkhmutova, whose co-writer the poet Nikolai Dobronravov wrote the script, most of the songs and background music, if not all of them, turn out to be theirs.
