Designed by Victor Chizhikov — one of the USSR's most celebrated children's book illustrators — after a nationwide competition that drew over 45,000 public letters, Misha was conceived as a \"cuddly ambassador\": a deliberate departure from the imposing Russian bear, designed to project peace and friendship at a moment of acute Cold War tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite the largest boycott in Olympic history — 65 nations refused to attend — Misha became the first Olympic mascot to achieve massive global commercial success.
