Focusing on the role of physical culture in the Soviet state, this book explores how sport, health, hygiene, education, labor, and defense were promoted to shape ideal citizens among young people, women, and peasants. It analyzes the propaganda efforts aimed at these groups and assesses the broader social, cultural, and political developments in the Soviet Union during the 1920s and 1930s. This work contributes to both the historiography of the era and the study of sports history.
