in different countries, but ukraine, as the host of the olympic games, never appeared, but in 1980 it hosted the famous olympics, the olympics, which were to be held in moscow, because moscow presided, kyiv hosted several football competitions. this olympics, why grief is known, because 66 countries did not boycott it, did not come to it, how did kyiv prepare then and how did kyiv itself prepare for the olympics? well, i want to say. that it was not only kyiv, but also then leningrad, st. petersburg, then tallinn, where the regatta was held, so several cities the soviet union still hosted the olympic games, of course, kyiv was licked clean, and they drove some policemen, militiamen there to maintain order, and... most of all such criminal

authorities, or they were taken outside the borders of kyiv, or they were simply tricked, so that they did not appear anywhere, these were football matches, there was nothing special, as if, but, these were the olympic games and it was necessary to observe order, i read somewhere that in fact at that time a lot of imported goods were brought to kyiv and the people of kyiv for the first time seen there coke or some others, so it is true. then there were no queues in the shops, there were various goods in the shops that the people of kyiv had never seen, i met and saw it myself, so i can confirm it, that is, you were at these olympic games, well, i was not at, i was in kyiv , and just in this period, and that is why i can say that it really happened. today we are talking about the history of ukrainians and ukraine in the olympic games. many ukrainian athletes became olympic champions, but... who do you remember the most, which ones

do you consider ukrainian olympic champions to be the most iconic? write in the comments, and don't forget to subscribe to our youtube channel and like this video. many ukrainians really wrote their name in the history of the olympic games, but not all of them were athletes, there is one ukrainian who really wrote his name in the history of ukraine at the olympic games, he is a ukrainian resident of canada, from the ukrainian diaspora in 1976 the year the olympic games were held in montreal, when a football match between the soviet union and the gdr took place in germany, then on the football field, i think everyone saw these shots, a ukrainian resident of canada danylo myhal runs out, and with a ukrainian flag in a ukrainian embroidered shirt, with a ukrainian hopak, and this was his act of protest against the fact that the soviet... union

occupied ukraine, he was very active in the ukrainian diaspora, and this performance he made became very famous, just recently in independent ukraine, were there any similar performances by ukrainians, or ukrainians, perhaps even representing other countries olympic sports arena games, did you also express your support for ukraine? no, the athletes didn't express it then, but the spectators, fans, supporters did, as you said. there was a ukrainian diaspora in canada, there were many ukrainians, and they supported any performance of an olympian from the soviet union, but a ukrainian, and there were approaches to our athletes, i know, i will not name names, they still do not want to be involved in this, but they said yes, they urged us to stay in canada, they offered us various offers, well there were various offers, to study, work somewhere, something to... beat, but none of the ukrainians

went for it, then there were such times, unfortunately, almost every athlete had a fellow athlete who followed him so that he didn't go anywhere. i remember buryak, a famous football player of dynamo kyiv, once told me that they played there as part of the soviet union national team, and he said that blukhin and i just wanted to go somewhere, look at the shops, maybe buy something. says: we were warned not to go anywhere, not to meet anyone, not to talk to anyone, well, it was like that, on it's a pity, but look, but with regard to this particular event, returning to megali, by the way, he passed away in the 24th year, and when he made this speech, why, because nine ukrainians played in the soviet union national team football players, the soviet union team, which was managed by lobanovskyi, and of course they wanted... the team to win, the team

was of a really high level, but already so exhausted, not only physically, but also spiritually. influenced them that you must win, says that it was quite difficult put in so much effort just to win, well, what to do, that's how it was, did any of those nine ukrainian football players later mention that event somewhere, or did someone talk about it afterwards, or were they all silent? i didn't hear from anyone about the performance of miyal, i think that after that they were gathered for a meeting and said, empty, empty no. there is no place to say one word of what happened, i can remember another moment that is so interesting, it does not belong to the history of sports, but it is connected with one football player who was once in lviv, it was volodymyr khanenko, a famous football player, then a judge, he

served in the army in kazakhstan in 1943 and played for dynamo, and he says, one day: it was in november, they put us on a train and we went to, we go for three days, we arrive, we look, somewhere abroad, it was tehran, where at the end of november there was a gathering of three heads of state, roosevelt, churchill and stalin, and he says, we were each placed behind a palm tree, and i also stood and saw how these outstanding political figures strolled ... park, but we were told not to say a word to anyone, well not to tell anyone for the next 50 years, he already told me when there was ukraine, and he tells me, well, you know, you really shouldn't write like that, because i gave a subscription there

not to talk about it, and 50 years have not yet passed , here, and that's why i want to say that this could have happened to football players and other athletes, they... were asked not to talk about the performances of ukrainians, about performances of a national nature, that this could have happened. so, oksana bayul, who won, is considered the first olympic champion of independent ukraine gold at the winter olympic games then in norway, but actually at the olympic games, well, according to some information, the ukrainian flag was raised in barcelona in 1992, then the ukrainian... athlete oleg kucherenko, he became the olympic champion in greco-roman wrestling, because in 1992 , ukrainians went to the olympic games, but they did not go as a separate team, but as part of this united team of the former soviet republics. the question is why, after all, in 1992

we are already independent, but we are going to the olympic games as part of this united team, and not part of our national team. well, we did not have time to be invited to these olympic games. games we became independent only in the summer of 1991, and a year later the olympic games took place in barcelona, ​​and therefore it was decided that the team of the united states of the former soviet union, as if there were georgians, lithuanians, uzbeks, and ukrainians, 82 athletes from ukraine took part in the olympic games in barcelona, ​​and of course, i, for example, do not remember that in honor of the first... ukrainian, it was kucharenko, a wrestler in the weight class up to 48 kg, to they raised the ukrainian flag in his honor, maybe i just passed by, but i didn't see it, but as for the ukrainians, you said there were more than 80 of them, if my memory serves me right, then in 1992 it was this united team, she

became the leader at the olympic games by winning the first place, if ukrainians competed as a national team, what? what medal did we get then, what was the result? there, there were a lot of medals won by ukrainians, and individually, even today's head of the olympic committee of ukraine gutsait was the winner in the shablist team, there was tymoshenko, who won the all-around in gymnastics, and there were a lot of people in joint teams, there were relays, sports, handball performed. mostly ukrainian girls from kyiv spartak, that is, if we were a ukrainian team, we could have a larger number of participants, of course, because not in all sports were the strongest ukrainians, but if there were not those others, then ukraine would be placed, and i

think there would be, well, for example, after four years, already 235 went to atlanta athletes from ukraine, that is, it would also be obvious in barcelona. such a number of more than 200 people, well then in atlanta we got the ninth place, in barcelona we could get even better, well, it can't be said that way, because sports is always such a thing. what is she, we expected, for example, now at the olympic games, that a white boy might perform well, it is true, but she lost, she is the champion of the world, of europe, well, it can be different, someone will jump out, like the boxer khyzhnyak, will now fight for the gold medal, no one it was expected that he would perform well, but it was difficult to predict that he would be in the final, and probably at the end. they always like to say that sport is out of politics, but this is probably said by

those who actually use sport for what purposes of their propaganda. let's go back to one of these olympics, which became the most pompous, the first olympics, where there was a broadcast on television, the first olympics, where the actual relay with the olympic flame was introduced, the olympics, where 25,000 doves were released into the air to show peace... and the desire for peace in this country, and the olympics, which pierre de coubertin, who is the organizer of the modern olympic games, personally came to check and said that everything is very good at that olympics, the preparations are going great. this is the 36th olympiad in berlin, and this olympiad was to serve hitler's plans for the propaganda of nazism, the propaganda of hitler himself. and now we are moving a little into modern times, in 2014 the olympics in sochi, the winter olympics in sochi, which are the most expensive in the history of the olympic games, were spent on them. 50 billion dollars, and it is done in order to show the propaganda of the regime,

the totalitarian regime, how totalitarian regimes in all periods used the olympic games for their propaganda, to possibly show how strong and powerful they are. well, the 1936 olympics were held in berlin, when hitler's fascist regime was already in power, but the olympics were for berlin. was allowed to take place even before hitler came to power, because every country is given several years to have the opportunity to prepare, and when hitler came to power, he decided that this the olympic games, they will demonstrate just how strong and how independent the regime in germany has become, the jews were persecuted, there was an inscription everywhere... only for germans or not not for jews, when the first commission from the olympic

committee came, then he was the president of delatur, they saw these inscriptions and said that this cannot be so, hitler gave the order everywhere to remove any inscriptions that would humiliate others, he allowed even in the team of one... and the speech of the jew was so bad that he was not of german origin, but he was a jew, he allowed them, and so what, after that, all the jews who could be, hitler began to destroy, we know about it, but then he personally came to the stadium, congratulated the winners, although he did not congratulate jesse olens, the black jumper and sprinter for 100-200 in the relay. the world record in the length of 806 showed, he, well, it did not fit into his such

ideology that when it was necessary to congratulate him, he specially came out and did not congratulate him, well, but this is a regime that wanted to show itself, he was fascist, you can say, that in 1980 it's the same for moscow, well, the soviet communist regime at the time was also a fascist type, shortly before the event. in december 1979, the soviet union decided to send troops to afghanistan and, as you said , 66 countries refused to participate in the olympic games. before that, there were already more than 100 countries. there were only 80 countries and 5,000 participants in the competition in moscow, so the world reacted to the fact that the soviet union allowed itself to introduce troops. in afghanistan, and the modern one is also probably used by china and russia for pomp, in 2008

there were also a lot of protests protesting not to hold the olympic games in china, because china put its hands on tibet there, so you can mention many examples, in particular, austria and hungary were not invited to the olympic games in 920 after the first world war. germany, bulgaria, and turkey, which participated in the war, were active aggressors after the second world war. in 1948, germany and japan, which were also aggressors in world war ii, were not invited to london, that is, the olympic committee responded to this, well, now we see, belarus, russia were not invited to the olympic games, they were not invited, but they allowed individual athletes who do not support this

aggression to perform. the best result at the olympic games from... the ukrainian national team showed in 1996 in atlanta, it was the first summer olympic games where our country was represented by a separate team. then our sportsmen won 23 medals, of which nine were gold. this made it possible to take the ninth team place. unfortunately, the olympics recent years are far from this result. although we will believe that such names as, for example, yaroslav maguchykh, will change this. this is the manuscript program. my name is myroslav vyschanskyi. our guest is ivan yaremko, a ukrainian sports historian and archivist.

congratulations. the program is on air. the real front is with you, i am taras berizovets. today in our program. the candidate for the post of vice president of the usa from the democratic party has been named. in addition to pokrovsky, the russians are actively trying to advance in two other directions. in the european parliament was urged to increase the effectiveness of ukrainian e. russia began supplying iran with weapons, the elections in moldova are turning into a russian special operation. the current vice president of the united states and candidate for the presidency from the democratic party,

kamela garis, has officially named her running mate. he became the wall street journal tells who this person is. so, the details of the biography of the candidate for vice president from the democratic party are in our story. on august 6, the candidate for the american presidency, kamala harris, was elected former congress. maine and current minnesota governor tim wald as his democratic nominee for vice president of the united states if he wins the election. as a governor, coach, teacher and veteran, he helps working families like his own, and it's great to have him on the team. and now to work. tim walz is 60 years old, grew up in

nebraska, and graduated from chadron state college with a degree in social sciences. later in the state. minnesota taught social studies, coached a high school football team and served 24 years in the us national guard. walsh is currently in his second term as governor of minnesota and chairs the democratic governors association. previously, he worked in congress for 12 years and represented a conservative rural district. as governor, walsh advocated for transgender people who are denied a full range of health care, and has overseen the rules since the 1990s. lgbt community. as governor, waltz implemented medical and educational reforms - writes the new york times. in 2023, he signed legislation codifying abortion rights into law state legalized marijuana, passed new gun control laws, provided free lunch to all public school students, created a paid leave program, and

granted illegal immigrants access to minnesota driver's licenses. at the same time, in 2020, the governor received a barrage of criticism due to the killing of a black man, george floyd, by police officers, union recalls. it happened in minneapolis, the largest city in minnesota, which walsh runs. then everyone noticed that vols was in no hurry to give up of the minnesota national guard in suppressing the popular riots that broke out after this murder. his caution was qualified in different ways, and as not decisiveness at the moment of crisis and as correctly. reaction to the situation when his electorate was on both sides of the conflict. regarding ukraine, after the start of the full-scale invasion, tim walls supported ukraine, condemned the invasion. the russian federation has declared that it is ready to help ukrainian refugees. in particular, walsh signed a law requiring the state of minnesota to no longer do business in russia or belarus. at the same time waltz

in february 2024, he personally signed an agreement on cooperation between minnesota and chernihiv region in the agrarian sphere. after the election of tim walz as a candidate for vice president of the united states on august 7 at a rally in philadelphia, the governor of minnesota appeared for the first time on the same stage with kamala garis as her partner. in the upcoming elections, the bbc reports. during the speech, he said that donald trump will pull the united states back, that he is not pulling anything in public service, because he is too busy serving himself. ahead of kamala garis and tim walz a five-day tour of key states for the elections. during the party congress on august 19-22, they will officially accept the nomination and address their fellow party members with keynote speeches. the intrigue surrounding the democratic party's nomination for vice president this week has finally been resolved. most american observers were

convinced. vice president kamala garis will choose pennsylvania governor shapiro as her running mate. shapiro was known for having the most support among democratic donors party however, most likely, he was let down by it being too big. publicity and ambiguous statements that he has already managed to make during the current presidential campaign. from that perspective, tim walsh, who represents minnesota, one of the key so-called battleground states in this campaign, looks like a less risky candidate. in addition, walls is a person who literally came from the people. for a long time, he worked as a teacher, and as you know, this specialty... in the united states traditionally enjoys great authority among voters. vols is also a person of extraordinary diplomatic abilities. in addition, it is also

a very good choice for ukraine. after all, tim walsh, while in the position of governor of minnesota, managed to do enough for a governor to support us in the war against russia. in the governorship, tim. vols, in particular, prohibited all local businesses from doing any business with russians. walls also participated in a video call to the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi, during which i will also express my full support for our war with russia. based on everything this, american viewers come to a conclusion. kamela, harris and the political technologists made a fairly good choice. against the backdrop of the deteriorating chances of republican candidate donald trump and his vice presidential candidate vance. the current pair of harris walls looks more

modern and attractive. according to the latest polls of the american tv channel cbs , kamala harris is ahead of donald trump in the national field by 1%. and in the states, where the biggest struggle will be theirs. the odds have now evened out. however, the dynamics of the election campaign of kamela garis and now volza, looks more powerful. however, it is at least too early to make final conclusions about the winner of the american elections, because key televised debates are ahead, which may take place as early as next month. donald trump, meanwhile, continued to collect likes from users. social network, he actively promotes his content not only on television, but also in the chinese tiktok, by the way,

vice president kamela harris also opened her page in this chinese social network. trump and the harrises are actively vying for the vote of young voters, and trump this week made another bid to appeal to young americans. he received the newest as a gift. production of elon musk's tesla company. for us, the key thing should be that the topic of ukraine continues to be preserved in the american pre-election discourse, and currently this is exactly what is happening. at the same time , it must be said that so far the leadership in this absentee confrontation, using the topic of ukraine, is currently held by the candidate for the presidency of the usa, donald trump. he actively comments on this one the topic and also for him it is done by his speaker. and experts supporting the former us president. on tuesday

, august 6, the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi. held a meeting of the supreme commander-in-chief, where the greatest attention was paid to the pokrovsky, turkish and kharkiv directions. in his turn , the commander-in-chief of the armed forces oleksandr syrsky informed the president that he was at the scene of the events and was personally monitoring the situation. read more about the situation at the front in our story. the defense forces of ukraine entered the the territory of the kursk region of the russian federation. the offensive has been going on for several days. various telegram channels publish a video of a breakthrough in the territory of the russian federation, ruins, concerns of local residents and the detention of russian soldiers in captivity. there is no official information from kyiv yet. the russian public assures that the armed forces managed not only to break through the russian border, but also to create a bridgehead on the enemy's territory in these few

days. according to the american institute. study of war and zaekonis during august 6-7 to ukrainian troops in kursk oblast managed to advance by 10 km. on august 8, the telegraph reported that the armed forces captured more territory in kursk oblast in less than 48 hours than during the entire summer counteroffensive of 2023. ukrainian troops quickly occupied about 350 km of russian territory and took dozens of russians prisoner. in the russian public, meanwhile, there is panic. regarding the possible capture of the kurdish as in order to later exchange it for the zaporizhia as. however , ukrainian military experts believe that the purpose of the kurshchyna operation is to stretch russian forces, as it tried to do moscow during the offensive on kharkiv oblast and sumy oblast. border breach, invasion and other such words are not quite correct, correct words, because we use, we are on the defensive today,

only in the defense there are... five or seven types of defense, here is this counterattack , it's not a counterattack, it's a counterattack, well, you know how active armor is on a tank, what is active armor, it's armor with explosives, well, to put it simply, that is, when something flies to the tank's armor, it explodes, the explosion goes towards it, that's active armor, this is active defense, this is burst to meet, so it's a counterattack to disable. to concentrate there, concentrate and make offensive actions of the soup, i am somehow convinced that this is not a raid, as was done by the russian legions, the russian volunteer corps, which are the legions that take part in hostilities on our side, because then they also commented on this, caesar, if i'm not mistaken, after their leader, he said that it was a raid, a raid - it means they came in and left, it doesn't look like

a raid here, most likely. this is an attempt to create bridgeheads, a sanitary zone, well, at least on several tens of kilometers deep into the russian federation, in order not to give them the opportunity to prepare and carry out the same offensive actions in sumy oblast, as they did in kharkiv oblast. i hope that there will be enough strength and resources for this. at the same time, the ssu returned part of the lost positions in the area of ​​the city of chasiv. the ukrainian military advanced through the siverskyi donets-donbas reclamation channel and retook positions in the stupa botanical reserve. fighting continues in the eastern microdistricts of novy and oktovnevy cities of chasiv yar. this was reported in the american institute the study of war. the situation in the turkish and pokrovsky directions is also difficult. these three directions - from the time of yar turetskyi pokrovsk can be conventionally combined into one direction. this is the direction to kostyantynivka, this is the railway hub, our main road, that is, the road that we use actively, our logistical route, and

the russians are trying to prevent us. in this, or in general they dream of physically seizing this road so that they can use it independently, where it becomes more difficult for them, where we give a break, they decrease there in one of these three directions, the intensity, but intensifies, well, they move there at a short distance, they move troops , including, well, they move, well, maybe not manpower, but at least artillery shells, rifles, lancets, well, everything that they use. are conducting combat operations and are trying in another direction, for example, now they are most active in the chisovo direction, more than three days ago it was the pokrovsky direction, and a week ago it was the teretsky direction, that is , we can see it in a circle by and large, so to say that these are some separate directions is still not worth it, it is three centuries to one, as they say, also, as the analytical channel deep state reports, the fighters of the 53rd ombr restored the lost...
