Despite the largest boycott in Olympic history — 65 nations, led by the United States, refused to attend — Misha became the first Olympic mascot to achieve massive global commercial success. The closing ceremony image of Misha floating away over Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium, a tear on his cheek, remains one of the most emotionally resonant moments in Olympic history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtist: Victor Chizhikov (Виктор Чижиков)\u003cbr\u003eOriginal year: 1980\u003cbr\u003eOriginal publisher: Plakat Publishing House, Moscow\u003cbr\u003eText: «ЖЕЛАЮ УСПЕХА!» \/ “BEST WISHES!” \/ “BONNE CHANCE!”\u003cbr\u003eOccasion: XXII Summer Olympics, Moscow 1980\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: USSR (Soviet Union)\u003cbr\u003eOriginal size: 48 × 66 cm (18.9 × 26.0 in)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You Receive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 high-resolution JPEG file\u003cbr\u003ePrint-ready at 300 DPI\u003cbr\u003eSized for printing at 18 × 24 in\u003cbr\u003eInstant download after purchase\u003cbr\u003ePersonal use licence included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFile Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormat: JPEG\u003cbr\u003eResolution: 300 DPI\u003cbr\u003ePrint size: 18 × 24 in\u003cbr\u003eLicence: Personal use only.
