The Policy of the Soviet Authorities in the Field of Physical Education in Uzbekistan SSR

Abstract

The Soviet authorities were concerned about the sports societies that were created in the Turkestan ASSR until 1917 and continued their activities even after that. The reason is that these societies could be an obstacle to the spread of "red" sports ideas among the population. For this purpose, the Soviet authorities began to set restrictions on the activities of these societies.

In short, the Soviet government aimed to use the national population as military soldiers in the Uzbekistan SSR through the field of physical education, mainly for the defense of the Motherland (in fact, the defense of Russia).
