Ahh damn. Too late. The 1980 Moscow Olympics.
You know. The ones you Americans boycotted because the Russians invaded Afghanistan to try and restore a stable government.

Able Archer 83.

The realistic nature of the 1983 exercise, coupled with deteriorating relations between the United States and the Soviet Union and the anticipated arrival of Pershing II nuclear missiles in Europe, led some members of the Soviet Politburo and military to believe that Able Archer 83 was a ruse of war, obscuring preparations for a genuine nuclear first strike. In response, the Soviets readied their nuclear forces and placed air units in East Germany and Poland on alert. The apparent threat of nuclear war ended with the conclusion of the exercise on November 11.

The Franco-German TV program Arte was launched in 1992, arguable a marker for the final closure of the French-German enmity and visible symbol of the France/Germany duo as powerhouse of the European collaboration (cf Maastricht Treaty).

Totally unrelated but a cool image: Arte by Fernando Pérez
