The date was announced - March 22, well, and doping scandals.
The 1976 year. After the Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, where the USSR national team shone, our district school leaders, being in euphoria, decided to hold a spartakiad on ski races on this day. I, a seven-year-old, had to run 15 km in a 10-degree frost. There were 6 kids in our school team. And I had two neighbors, two brothers - Vitya and Tola, much older than me. Vitya worked at the "Gutalin" factory in Tula, and brought empty aluminum tubes from under the cream for shoes, and Tola worked in the Lipetsk region at the factory, where he produced condensate, which he also brought to the village (naturally, everything stolen). And the condensation was ordinary, and with cocoa, and with coffee, everything was deficient. And we poured this condensate (with coffee, with cocoa) into the tubes of shoe cream (shoe cream, brown) and took it with us to the competition, where we ate it during the race. Delicious, delicious and adding strength. On March 22, 1976, in the race we took all the first 6 places, and about 200 people started. There was, as I would say, a doping scandal. Everyone said that the body skiers cannot be defeated, because they are on the track "Gutalin jurt".
For a day, I have been tormented by one question. Russia wants to sell gas to Europe in rubles, and Europe wants to buy it in euros. So why is Israel still silent, which could have long ago announced that the issue for both sides can still be resolved by some commission?
