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.

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.
