The 1980 Moscow Olympics’ Misha was the first mascot to steal the show. An adorable bear cub, chosen specifically to combat the menacing “Russian Bear” image commonly used in the West, he warmed Russian hearts as the host nation won its most medals ever thanks to the U.S.-led boycott. Misha brought fans to tears and shed one himself as he was released, in giant inflatable form, at the closing ceremonies.
But his story was far from over. Still a national symbol, he met beloved American rodent Mickey Mouse (known locally as Mikki Maus) for a summit in Red Square in 1988, and thus the process of healing between our two nations began.
