The seventies of the twentieth century. An outrageous incident occurred in the USSR Olympic weightlifting team. The Honored Master of Sports, multiple world champion, Olympic champion committed a hooligan act, broke his nose, and not just anyone, but the first secretary of the regional committee, while at his reception.
