Here is a story for such a version, briefly. For some reason, it does not tell in it at all, as the pasta was taken from the zone of this boarding house, and as for those seen his holidaymakers - their published in the internet allegedly memories also look somehow strange and everything is broken. [Or are they still some mysterious way then disappeared?! - K.R.]
As for the mentioned names (from Fabra to Surov) - more information about these people in the network is not located, except for references to all the same article that allegedly Mishk flew this way and was developed by these people. The circle is shorter, every time it closes.
[I remember the famous statement of the Father Brown from Chesterton's stories: "No matter how paradoxically, it is sometimes very difficult to believe that zero plus zero plus zero plus zero is actually zero." - K.R.]
If someone else is more serious about everything read - I can say that on a number of servers an article about the same event ends otherwise. What Surov did not die, but only lost consciousness from the overload ... And when I woke up, I found himself lying in the snow, I've stayed his teddy bear, and Mishke was already fitted to sniff his living bears from the taiga, which stretched right there, beside.
Therefore, here, I think, you can put a point in terms of the conversation about the version of the number one.
Because a version of the number two (or already, rather, it should be considered the first version) just been described in Soviet newspapers as a fact, and an electronic copy of this editorial is on the Internet.
Soviet newspapers are completely open, in advance, the day after the closure of the Olympiad, wrote that our dear Teddy bear, who left the stadium, flew over Leninsky Mountains and fell behind them, not so far, in Moscow. After that, it was picked up and put in the pavilion at the VDNH, where he stands as a memory of our glorious Olympiad. The Teddy flew the same balloons are beautifully flying - just rose on the balls and their own podachka, and then - by the will of the wind. Naturally, no pilot was sitting in it.
And by the way, frames, like a bear promptly put on your feet and released, unleashing the ropes with which he was tied to not fly before, several dozen athletes can also be seen on the Internet on copies of the filming of those years, in the "Video" section .
So it is not very clear what else and who had to come up with? And for what?
True, you can ask a question - and if the Aerostat bear really flew somewhere strongly "not there"? We will not seriously discuss the issue with abroad, but still could fall on what unfortunate type object for this?
Here, they say, it was that - all the same in the sky raised a special helicopter with a sniper, and sniper with a shot shot of several balls, thanks to which the teddy bear and sank enough soon, "right" and safely.
Well, why not. This version is mentioned on a pair of forums - and only. So - neither prove nor refute; Nevertheless, probably maybe. If and "Grandma said" - all the same grandmother is not the strongest ...
One way or another, for the version, which was described in Soviet newspapers, no victims and special emergencies have happened. Only, perhaps, the bear hurt the beer stall and scared two citizens who saw there beer. For some reason, this moment repeatedly passes through the forums in the internet. Again, who knows him.
And again, as you know, there is a "folklore" and "family legends", winding around any historical event. As mentioned in one note, almost dozens of people claimed that it was near them, they say, a touching bear fell at home. Is it so amazing? We, people, people, and love sometimes "drag" a story about a true event to one degree or another in their own, as they say, side. Nothing is essentially special.
And from one doctor heard such: they say, the bear hit the air defense. Honestly, it is such a "sensation" and forced me to be curious and turn to the topic on the Internet.
Well, and again it is not so surprising - this is the law of gossip: someone will hear about the sniper on the helicopter already mentioned by us, and the acquaintance will give already about the air defense. And familiar - can and believe.
Recently, the documentary film was also published about the flight flight, in particular, the artist Viktor Chizhikov, who invented our Bear, who spent in detail about the birth of this cute image and his "life" in the process of the Olympics in detail. And also about how the Soviet leadership of the Soviet leadership showed on the part of feractory money and copyright ...
In the film, everything was said about the same: like a Bear-Aerostat flew over Sparrow (or rather, then with Leninist) and fell behind them. Even approximately showed this "azimuth".
However, if anyway, someone else wants to think somehow apart from his flight - Well, as Kierkegore said, freedom of thought - the great and original freedom of humans ...
Bear was then kept for a long time at the VDHH, managed to "be" and be written off. A copy of Novodel, apparently, did not manufacture. But now there are many smaller varied copies of the Russian Misha-Athlete in the Pavilions of the ICC.
We break so ...Honestly half an hour Google - there is no official information ...
Versions are a lot of different ...
Here are the main -First and official. Bear took off from the stadium Luzhniki with the help of balls and helium, who was puzzled himself being rubber, and landed after 15 minutes on the sparrow mountains. Everything. How he could do it not explain. After all, it is so "just", take off and land in the planned place. I must say that this version is quite truthful, with the exception important details Managing a teddy bear, flight and flight time. Only the question arises, but what kind of Potapich so it was herself everything is smooth himself? After all, the robotics of those times was unlikely to be capable of such maneuvers with such a large and complex aircraft, which was called the aerostat product of the Olympic Tedrel. Well, there was no such a device so that it could be managed from the console on Earth, and rather it was not time to say this serious work, and it was necessary to do with the simplest remote control.
Second version. Bear was controlled by a pilot, a pilot test, which was located in him right leg And he managed them with balls. It was a ballast to the belt, then the helium in the rubber shell plus the balls themselves whom the pilot manipulated. The balls were broken into two equal groups, the control principle was that the pilot pulls the group of balls in the one way where he had to turn. Everything seems to be logical. You can imagine that "turning" with the help of groups of balls from to the side to side (just by analogy with a bear walk), the bear could be brought to the point of landing, and there already by hiding helium sit down. The version is beautiful, however, its authors did not take into account the fact that there is such an atmospheric phenomenon as a wind that could surround in another direction and taking into account the high sailboat of the product, no manipulating balls would be made to change the Mishkin course back the wind. Do you believe that Soviet scientists and designers who worked on the project would not take into account such a factor like wind?! Soviet scientists, not scientists Papua New Guinea, those who sent autonomous modules to the moon, the first went into space, etc.
Third-version He fell incomprehensibly where in Moscow heaving the beer stall (!) and two citizens. According to this version, he could and the Kremlin will attack and the institute of the Curly, for example, well, or simply rolling through the windows of some residential house, having pleased the farewell and closure of the Olympic Games on the TV. So to speak: - Hello, and here I am, Mikhail Potapych Toptygin - Olympic, own person, the same detross what and look, flesh from your flesh, native to the board, unmanaged Russian bear!
Four versionthe most fantastic and no less beautiful. Misha Mistela Also to Mozhaisk reservoir, also managed by a pilot. The pilot, as it were, did not cope with the landing and, due to the strong wind, flew away from Moscow for a hundred kilometers (!), Where the landing maneuvers took a halium blending, but the wind gusts strongly pinned him to the ground. Pilot died. Imagine a posthum of the hero Soviet Union, Test pilot deceased on a secret assignment when piloting Olympic Bears! And it happened on the territory of the vympel turbase. The versions that somewhere in the suburbs he knocked his valiant air defense, I think it's not worth considering. Although what the hell is not joking if the German pilot of Rusta was blocked (of the sports airplane on Red Square) in the future, why in the past such a serious structure as the air defense could not take a bomber for the enemy bomber ...
On the touching closure of the 1980 Olympics, which took place in the Russian Union, remember everyone who has been convicted. The flying bear under a symbolic song in the fulfillment of Lion Leshchenko caused tears of subsidiaries from hundreds of thousands of people. But not much from among those who sat at the stadium either followed the closure of the Games on TV, then I thought about the future fate of this sign and about where the Olympic Bear landed.
Excursion in history
For more than 30 years, it was held from the 1980 Olympics, which was held in the capital of the Russian Federation, and its sign - the Olympic Teddy Time remains one of the beloved and famous folk heroes. He was created by Viktor Chizhikov - illustrator of books. By the way, specifically the creator gave him the name of Toptygin Misha Potapovich. It was approved by this sketch as a sign of the Olympics, due to the fact that a sports enthusiast was felt, strength, courage and perseverance. It was elected in the middle of more than 40,000 options.
The 1980 Olympic Bear received worldwide fame and recognition. The creator of this sign came letters from all over the world. You were happy with those who could get the image of the bears, pendant either a statuette. By the way, for the creation of such a sign of Chizhikov was to become a millionaire. But the miracle in the Russian Union did not come out, he paid 2000 rubles and forced to be renounced from the author's rights to his brainchild.
Closing games
Popularity Symbol of the Olympics, naturally, added a farewell ceremony. After all, it is believed that the closure of games has become particularly touching. Then, when the Bear rose into the sky, many had a tear of the dignity, the stadium Mahal Talisman of the 1980 games. But not much who thought about where the Olympic Bear landed. These questions appeared slightly later.
And at that moment, everyone brushed tears, listened to the heartfelt words of the song Pakhmutov and Dobronravov with the title "Diving Date, our gentle Misha." By the way, very few people understood that the flight of the Olympiad sign was first rejected by the Chairman of the Sport Committee gramm. On the appropriate sentence, he wrote that the bears do not fly, because the idea of \u200b\u200bthe flight was denied. But the chief director of the Olympiad could not calm down on this, he managed to embody this idea only thanks to his own courage and perseverance. He turned to the Chairman of the CPSU Central Committee of the Pore - Suslov. They were approved and supported by this thought.
Where is the teddy bear?
So, the six-meter sign of the 1980 games took off above the stadium and about his upcoming fate is actually nothing incomprehensible. Even at the current time there are two versions of where the Olympic Bear landed. So, the most ourselves is the subsequent option. The sign of the Olympiad flew to the outskirts of Moscow, where and safely landed. True, according to the same version, he knocked down the beer booth and was very frightened by 2 local guys. On this, his adventures ended, and it was put on the VDNH. By the way, they are melone that at one time the Germans offered 100,000 brands for him, but the Government of the Union did not even consider such an option. After the exhibition, the talisman was sent to one of the basements, where the rat cursed him over time.
But there is another version of how the Olympic Bear landed. According to the second option, the talisman was carried out by wind streams in the suburbs. To plant it, the Surov Test pilot was needed to open special valves. He successfully coped with the task, after which the Bear fell on the ground on the Mozhaisk reservoir. But cruel during this operation died. The Talisman himself was also unusable and burned. But at current time it is no longer possible to find where the 1980 Olympic Bear landed, because he is still destroyed.
How was a bear created?
But many are not only the upcoming fate of the talisman games. It is far from many clear, as in the distant 1980 it was possible to send a six-meter figure to controlled flight. And indeed, come up with an idea with a touching farewell with a teddy bear it was even easier than to embody her.
Bear was done in the Special Institute of Rubber Industry. For him, the rubberized fabric was made for him. After that, the ball of the clogged shop together with the specialists of the institute was created by the Figure of the Bear. In the case of force majeure events, two similar dolls were made to gather.
Training flight
But the creation of a bear turned out to be far from the most problematic step. It was even harder to teach the talisman to fly. The fact is that this figure is not completely aerodynamic, to send it into a controlled flight seemed actually impracticable. After all, in thought, he had to rise above the last stands at a height of about 3.5 meters and fly away from the stadium. With all this it was fundamentally not to touch the bowl with fire. At first, it was decided in general to be from the idea of \u200b\u200ba rubber doll and put in the flight of a person. Such tests were carried out on one of the airfields near Moscow, the cerebral engineer put on a specially cooked suit and trembled sharply up with the help of balls to a huge height. After which he did not find it.
Another inventor was invited to make the control of the rubber doll with the help of balls that could shift the weight of the object in the appropriate side. If everything came out, as planned, questions about where the Olympic Teddy would appear. After all, in his right paw, it was necessary to sit on the idea, which will be managed by the Talisman. But the tests did not succeed: the Teddy bear delivered over the blazing torch and flared. The operator, seating in the doll, died from burns.
After that, it was decided to fasten the balls only on the ears and the upper paws. Thanks to this, the Bear did not turn over. As ideally, he should be accurately landed in the area of \u200b\u200bSparrow Mountains, and this plan failed to do completely.
August 03, 2018.On August 3, 1980, the whole world watched the closure of the XXII Summer Olympic Games. "Before, Svidanya, our gentle Misha," squeezed in the stands, without holding away tears. And then everyone wondered: where did he fly away?

Millions of spectators watched the Olympic Bear rises into the sky and disappears in the dark. Many women were sobbed by Navid, and the children believed that he would certainly return to his fabulous forest. The site collects all rumors and facts and tells how the difficult fate of the Talisman Olympiad-80 has developed.
Who came up with the Olympic Bear?
For three years, Mishka became almost native. In 1977, the election of the symbol of the Moscow Olympiad began. The organizing committee, given the results of the popular voting, stopped the selection of a bear - as-National hero, immortalized in fairy tales, a symbol of courage, strength and power. There was a serious competitor, but the victory still remained behind Kolosap. The victory in the competition for the best image of the Talisman of the Olympic Games won a 42-year-old artist and illustrator of children's books Viktor Chizhikov. He told that the idea to put on a bear belt with the Olympic rings came to him in a dream.
The contract indicated that the artist simply ordered a drawing of "funny bear". Initially, Chizhikov, who would become a millionaire in any other country, they wanted to pay 250 rubles, appreciating the sketch on the square, in square centimeters, but they agreed on a thousand more - "for unique graphics." Nor about copyright, nor about the patent of the speech did not. Officials said that since the symbol of the Olympiad-80 chose the entire Soviet people - it means the author of the people. When the artist tried to defend something, the magicianship wisely came to him not to get involved and accept the situation.

Project "Bear"
The Olympics manufactured a huge rubber ball-aerostat height of more than 6 meters. The project over which employees of the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute worked, was called concise and almost in the military - "Bear".
Inside the Olympic Bears was helium, the torso was made of rubberized fabric, which was gone 150 meters. And the inflatable paws attached with hinges. When the tests began, the project was at risk. In Tsagi were in panic. The main problem was the fact that the bear did not want to take off vertically: he lasted the side, turned his back. Only when the talisman of the Olympiad was torn off her legs and tied to the paws balloons, the situation was recovered.
One of the options provided for a replacement of a giant doll by a man in a bear costume tied to gigantic balls. Also appeared the idea of \u200b\u200bmaking a bear controlled, put a person inside the doll. They said that there were no victims on the tests: once the doll lost control and, flying too close to the burning Olympic torch, caught fire, and the engineer was subsequently sitting in the "cabin" in one of the rear paws.
Bears can not fly!

Source: Wikimedia / Rian Archive Farewell to the Olympic Target Many still consider the most touching point both in the history of the Olympiad and in the history of the USSR. This then came the time of grand salutes and special effects. \\ And in Moscow 1980, in order to touch the hearts of millions, it was enough to swell up the dolls, images of the game symbol on a giant screen ("picture" created with the help of four thousands of soldiers, Strongly replaced by the team of colored shields) and one stingy tears, shown from the eye of the bear.
But this could not be! The idea with the flying bear did not like the officials - the option, when in the final, the Bear crashes in Berloga right at the stadium, it seemed more suitable and easily feasible. As later, the deputy chief director of the operator of the Olympiad in Moscow was told, the flight had to be "pierced." Initially, party bosses stated that the bear could not fly, then appealed to the fact that he could face the plane. According to rumors, the project only saved the intervention of a high-ranking general of aviation, which promised to provide the Mishke "Air Corridor".
He flew away and did not promise to return
The closing ceremony of the Olympiad-80. Do you know who Olympic Bear? Photo, postcards, even stamps And the matching labels with his image still carefully stored by our parents.

Let's remember together about the talisman that appeared on the light of more than thirty years ago.
Olympic bear. Birth symbol
As you know, each Olympics has its own mascot. I did not exception and the 1980 Olympiad, which was held in Moscow. It was for her who invented this funny talisman. "Father" Mikhail Potapich, as a joke called a toy, Viktor Chizhikov became. It was he who came up with the image of a bear and captured him in the drawings, having thought over everything to the smallest details. Cheerful smiling teddy bear conquered the jury at first sight. And so, in December 1977 Potapich was approved by the official mascot.
Olympic teddy bear and its quality
Chose it not by chance. Good and friendly bear approached the role of talisman, like no other. Bears - Wise Keepers of Forests, something very similar to people. Moreover, judging by the anecdotes that walk around the world, not just on people, but, first of all, it is on our Russians. After all, Russia and Russians around the world have long been associated with a bear. Another undoubted advantage of the quality of the bear - power, courage and perseverance. That character, according to the jury, and should have athletes.
Olympic Bear and its appearance
Mikhail Potapovich - Anthropomorphic Bear, standing on the hind legs. Beast Obanisan Sine-black and yellow-green-red strap. These colors have long been symbols of games. Also on his belt there is a buckle, consisting of five rings of golden color. According to rumors, the artist thought quite a long time, how to wear a bear, while the idea of \u200b\u200bthe "Olympic belt" did not come to his head. Only after that, the bear was able to become a truly solid character.
Olympic Bear after the end of the Olympics
At the closure of the Olympics, it was decided to launch Mikhail Potapovich to the sky on balloons. The Talisman's toy flew to a farewell song that Lev Leshchenko was performed. Few of those who attended then in the stands were able to hold down tears. At the end of the Olympics, the bear was sent to one of the warehouses of VDNH, where he finished his life. They said that he wanted to buy Germans, but our flatly refused to sell.
Conclusion
Here is such a, our kind and gentle bear. Olympic talisman, famous for the whole world. And now, when it comes to Olympic Games 1980, people first remember Mikhail Potapovic, about what a wonderful test mood he created how sorry was to part with him. Few people can remember the winners and winners of the Olympics, as well as the talismans of other games. Who knows that wines: the patriotism of our people or the irresistible charm of the teddy bear. But in any case, the fact remains the fact - Potapich lives in our hearts to this day.
