PHYSICAL CULTURE AND HEALTH-IMPROVING MOVEMENT IN THE USSR IN 1920-1930

The study of the history of Soviet sports is a fairly new and promising direction in the field of historical science. An analysis of the state policy in this area during the indicated period makes it possible to better understand not only the history of Soviet sports, but also the socio-political processes that took place in Soviet Russia in 1920-1930. In addition, the study of the designated problems allows us to consider some aspects of intra-party discussions, the relationship between individual representatives of the state leadership. In a broader sense, this allows us to identify some facets of interaction between the state and society in a critical period for the country.
