For the first time in 40 years, the Summer Olympic Games will not be broadcast on the territory of Russia.

Axar.az reports that the Russian mass media reported on this.

Two of Russia's main state channels have said that it is impossible to broadcast the Olympics without the anthem and flag of Russia.

It should be noted that the last time the USSR boycotted the games held in Los Angeles in 1984, the Olympic Games were not shown in Russia.
