Initially, positioning itself outside of politics, the International Olympic Committee acted as a kind of arbitration force, whose task was to at least slightly comply with the declared principles.

The Olympic Charter is the main document governing the activities of the entire Olympic Tree. 

So, remember, when you are told about the peace-loving Olympic competition, you are not being told the whole truth. The Olympic competition is a competition of warriors who can tomorrow face to face, ready to destroy each other. 

My name is Gennady Marichev. I have been doing Olympic research for over 50 years. My research is not limited to the Olympic Games, but includes everything related to the concept of Olympism, the Olympic movement.
