While PM Dmitry Medvedev praises Russia’s performance at the London Olympics, Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov recalls the USSR’s success at the Games and demands “blame-storming” on Russia’s failure to repeat it.

Now that the XXX Olympics have officially come to an end and the countdown to the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro has begun, Russian athletes are heading back home with 82 medals in the bag. On Wednesday, President Vladimir Putin will receive the medalists at the Kremlin, where they will receive government awards for their high achievements.

Team Russia came fourth in the overall medal count at the London Games with 24 gold, 25 silver and 33 bronze medals, third place in terms of number of medals won.

“I’ll express my opinion. The Russian team performed quite successfully,” Medvedev, who also leads the ruling United Russia party, wrote on his Facebook page. The PM noted that China – which came second – won 87 medals, which is “very close.”

He conceded that Russia had won fewer gold medals than the US (46), China (38) and Britain (29). “But let me remind you that we won 73 medals, including 23 gold, during the Beijing Olympics in 2008,” he said, noting overall progress.

“The emotions our sportsmen and women gave to us are a lot more important [than results],” the premier underlined, thanking the Russian athletes.

Meanwhile, Russian Communist party (KPRF) head Gennady Zyuganov is dissatisfied with the results of the Olympics.

“In due time, the USSR won seven Olympics and came second [in the medal count] in two Games. They say fourth place is successful. But for our country, which used to earn top scores, fourth place cannot be considered a success,”he said in a statement published on the KPRF website.

The politician admitted that Team Russia showed excellent results in athletics, including the race walk.
