Abstract

The history of the development of physical culture and sports in the Krasnoyarsk Territory in the second half of the 1930s is considered. This period was associated with the formation of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. In this regard, a state governing body for the sphere of physical culture and sports was created in the region, as a result of which the work moved to a new level. Physical education groups and voluntary sports societies were created, a large number of sporting events, ski treks, holidays, parades, and competitions in various sports of military-applied significance were held. Much attention was paid to the preparation of badge members of the “Ready for Labor and Defense” (GTO) complex. Extensive statistical material on the results of this training is presented. By the end of the 1930s. Large-scale defense and physical training work was carried out in the region, aimed at strengthening the defense capability of the population. Physical education was an effective means of this preparation. The purpose of the study is to study the history of the development of physical culture and sports in the Krasnoyarsk Territory in the second half of the 1930s. The materials used in the study were mainly obtained from archival sources of a record-keeping nature and are represented by data from the State Archives of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, which are being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. The study also used materials from the periodical press of the newspapers Krasnoyarsk Rabochy, Krasnoyarsk Komsomolets, Krasny Sport, etc. In conclusion, the authors conclude that after the formation of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, active work began on the creation of physical education groups, physical education clubs, and sports sections. Particular attention was paid to physical education work in rural areas. This work was very difficult and was constantly criticized by the regional authorities. The number of athletes and badge athletes of the GTO complex gradually increased, but the training plans were not systematically implemented. The share of funding for the physical culture and sports sector increased. Sports facilities were built and sports equipment was purchased. Work was carried out to train physical education personnel.
