The photo below (source) was purportedly taken in 1980 in Moscow.

A black and white photo showing a large billboard of Leonid Brezhnev, with what looks to be a large steel sculpture of the 1980 Summer Olympics emblem in the background.

Exactly where in Moscow was the photo taken? Is the sculpture of the 1980 Summer Olympics emblem in the background still standing at that location? If not, has it been moved to anywhere else where I can see it?

According to the internets, this is the split of Leningradsky and Volokolamsky Chaussée:

These steles were not built to last and are torn down in most places, but there surely must be some remaining, such as this one in Podol'sk (ironically, behind a McDonalds):
