Olympic Village. Athletes from the Soviet Union lived in Otaniemi, 1952
These Games were the first in the history of the USSR. Previously, the Russian Empire team competed at the Olympics, the last time 40 years ago, in 1912. A mandatory requirement from the USSR was that Soviet athletes live separately from athletes from capitalist countries (there was even a proposal that our athletes come to Helsinki from Leningrad every day). As a result, a compromise was found: a separate Olympic village was built for the USSR team. Source: http: www.calend.ru event 7057 © Calend.ru
