Пушкарьова в Київ­ ському журналі „Дніпро'', ч. 6, 1960 p.). Але на пряме вмішування совєтського уряду й Олімпійського Комітету СССР, яким насильно підпорядковано спортову діяльність України, їм забороняється робити будь-які заходи в цьому напрям­ ку.

Чи відомо, щоби спортсмени України домагалися участи України в Олім­ піадах?

Так, відомо. Першим цю ідею вид- вигнув Володимир Куць в 1955 році в Парижі. Він запропонував українцям в екзилі, щоби вони домагалися такої участи України. Відомо, що проф. М. Бунчук, директор Київського фізкуль­ турного інституту написав цілу книжку про домагання України брати окрему участь в Олімпіадах. За це він був переслідуваний, звільнений з роботи і помер у біді.
