Some talk about Olympics going on and how Russian athletes should be allowed to participate. I remembered this happening in Finland. Finland won of course.

Probably half of those men are already rotting in Ukraine.
Oh well. 🙂
People see what they want to see. But the article portrays it as good intention
>Trainer Andrei Safronov told Gazeta.ru the idea to wear Soviet-era jerseys had been proposed by the Finnish side.

>The Soviet jerseys worn by the Russian players in Finland are set to be auctioned off for charity, Sport Express reported, without specifying the name of the organization that would receive the funds.
Hopefully we can soon abandon the view that the Soviet Union was somehow goofy in its incompetence. They should be remembered with the same disgust as Nazi Germany.
Olis suomalaisten pitäny pitää lumipukua tuohon peliin
Why on earth did the Finnish team agree to enter the ring with them?!
I mean, would they have done the same with a team wearing Nazi Germani uniforms?
Finnish people should ask their Estonian friends what the Soviet Union means if they sre unsure.
And some of the comments hear suggesting that the Finnish were somehow in on this beforehand is just appalling, if true.
Please do better.
The Russians wore the CCCP jerseys in another game in early 2022/late 2021 can’t remember which one but it was before the invasion and I remember seeing it and being pissed off but no one made any mention of it. Slava Ukraini.
Russians should be kicked out of ‘civilized society’ in any and every capacity… for a LONG time imho!
The longing that Russians have for their precious, long-dead Soviet Union is absolutely hilarious.
Russia should not be allowed to join Olympics. If allowed then the EU and Nato countries should boycot Olympics.
I admit, would’ve been more impressive with retro helmets too…
Only civilized nations should be allowed to participate in the Olympics. That is how it used to be in the good old days. So, no degenerate barbarians like them russians. We might allow them to sell sausage outside the stadium, but not run on the field.
I hope this doesn’t offend anyone but every time I see CCCP I think of SCTV’s spoofs: [https://youtu.be/fOu_t68mjNM](https://youtu.be/fOu_t68mjNM)
Damn they have nostalgia for getting their asses kicked by the Finn’s how nice
The Karjala beer advertisement is pure irony in this context.
What is this supposed to mean? Like what message is this supposed to send to the finns? That theyre going to invade again?
when?
I like a throw back jersey as much as the next guy but just no
I swear russia is the annoying kid that likes to just make big mess and loud noise, when you tell him to stop breaking shit and act like human he gets tantrum and starts cruing while kicking the air on the floor.
Edit: spot < stop.
Sorry, but this is dumb. There are reasons to not let Russia to participate in the Olympics, but this isn’t one of them. Read the article and this should be obvious.
