The United States boycotted the 1980 Olympics in Moscow in protest over Soviet military action in Afghanistan. The Russians and their friends Cuba and East Germany , as well as Libya and Iran, boycotted the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles . I am sure that there have been other boycotts by smaller nations.

1980. By the way, it was the Summer Olympics.
The 1980 Moscow Olympics opened on the 19th of July and closed on the 3rd of August.
The Winter Olympics were held at Lake Placid in upstate New York, USA. The Summer Olympics were held at Moscow, USSR. Because the Russians had invaded Afghanistan in 1979, the USA did not attend. Many other nations did.
there were two citites to bid for the 1980 summer olympics Moscow and Los Angeles
The summer Olympics were held in Moscow and the winter Olympics were held in Lake Placid, NY. The winter and summer Olympics were held during the same year prior to 1994
The 2014 Winter Olympics is in Sochi, not Moscow. And no, Apolo Ohno will not compete in the 2014 Olympics, but he will attend as a commentator for NBC.
Yes. There have been several wars in Moscow, most notably when Napoleon invaded and the Russians burn't down Moscow to stop the French forces.
