5.0 out of 5 stars From the box cover:, May 26, 2006
This review is from: Soviet Athletes:Summer Sports [VHS] (VHS Tape)
These are propaganda films in a pure and tragic sense: They promote and inspire belief in a system that ultimately could not work. For any serious student of history or politics, knowing the viewpoint of the other side is essential to fully understand what is truly going on - these films are a rare look at that "other side."

The United States boycotted the Moscow Summer Olympics of 1980, but the games went on nonetheless. These are the Soviet films about the famous games. Examined are the daily routines and achievements of gold medal winners, including a weight lifter, a high jumper, and a sprinter. Parts from Leonid Brezhnev's opening speech open the films.

Includes Opening Ceremonies Of The Moscow Olympics and Faster, Higher, Stronger.
