Earlier, a video with the best moments of the ceremony disappeared from the network. The video became unavailable on the website of the Olympic organizing committee and on the Olympics YouTube channel.
The opening ceremony of the Olympics took place in Paris on July 26. For the first time, the event was held not in a stadium, but in the city, including on the Seine, along which ships with artists and delegations of countries sailed.
The ceremony was met with controversy in the public eye. In the Olympic homeland of Greece, it was called the collapse of civilization because transvestites were portraying the Last Supper.
