The Summer Olympics took place at the height of the Cold War tensions and were boycotted by most Western countries in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan half a year earlier. The Moscow Games had been planned on grand scale to showcase the achievements of Communism. These efforts were largely in vain due to the US-led boycott.This poster is a great piece of both Cold War and Sports memorabilia, and can be a nice conversation piece!Please note: The pen in the last photo is there for size reference.
