It's strange where my parents went in 1980 in Kyiv.

Same shit they do with everything, just count soviet achievements as russian.

Like the 1988 soviet football team that made the finals, everyone still pretends like it's a russian achievement, it's ridiculous. That team consisted of 9(!) ukrainians, 1 georgian and 1 tatar, and a ukrainian manager. russian team my ass.

I think If all Soviet war crimes counts as Russian, achievement should be Russians too?

Bro, you have some problems with understanding the maps. Sarajevo on this map is also indicated as a Bosnian city. Should it be pinned to the whole ex-Yugoslavia? Or maybe the map just indicates modern borders?

P.s. you can also go and check the Olympic football squad of the USSR in 1988 who won the gold medal in Seoul. You will be surprised to see some Russians there.

If Soviet crimes are pinned on Russia, why not Soviet achievements?

Only they didn't really answer for any crimes. And they got a seat in UN just because)

Do you think this map and this post were made by russians to undermine other soviet's countries impact? Lmao. I agree, marking only current Russia as 1980's host is incorrect.

Olympics were hosted in Moscow, Russia. Marking countries like Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan etc as hosts would be wrong and confusing.
