Year 2019, Volume 4, Issue 2, 515 - 541, 21.09.2019Abstract
Sovyet beden kültürü, sağlıklı ve yurtsever vatandaş-askerler yetiştirmek ve Sovyetler Birliği'nin kentli nüfusunun modernleşmesine yardımcı olmak için kullanılan yumuşak bir güç aracıydı. Bunun en önemli yollarından biri modern sporlardı. Josef Stalin (1925'ten 1953'e kadar Komünist Parti lideri) topluma beden ve spor kültürünü kabul ettirip kurumsallaştırdı. Bununla birlikte, siyasi değişiklikler haricinde, spor modelinin kurumları 1980'lerin ortasına kadar varlığını devam ettirdi. Bu çalışma Sovyetler Birliği Komünist Partisi'nin (1925'de kuruldu, bundan sonra Komünist Parti) spor vasıtasıyla Özbekistan Sovyet Sosyalist Cumhuriyeti (bundan sonra Özbekistan) üzerindeki etkisini inceleyecektir. Seçilmiş Soğuk Savaş ve çağdaş çalışmaları eleştirel bir şekilde ele alarak, 1925'ten 1952'ye çok kültürlü Özbekistan'da Sovyet spor kültürünün yerleşme ve bütünleşme rolünü araştıracağız. Disiplinler arası bu çalışmadaki sorumuz şu: Sovyet sporunun Özbekistan'daki etkisi neydi? Lenin ve Stalin geleneksel sporları topluma nasıl ve neden yeniden benimsetti? İncelenen hususlar arasında Sovyet sporları kavramı, geleneksel sporlar ve modern spor kültürünün gelişimi ve etkisi yer almaktadır.

Modern and Folk Sports in Central Asia under Lenin and Stalin: Uzbekistan from 1925 to 1952
Year 2019, Volume 4, Issue 2, 515 - 541, 21.09.2019Abstract
Soviet physical culture was a soft power tool deployed to create healthy and patriotic citizen-soldiers and help modernise the urban Soviet Union: one key strand of this was modern sports. Critically reading selected Cold War and contemporary studies, we explore the acculturation and integration role of the Soviet sports culture in multicultural Uzbekistan from 1925 to 1952. In this interdisciplinary paper we ask: What was the impact of the Soviets sports in Uzbekistan? How and why did Lenin and Stalin reposition folk sports in society? The themes examined include the concept of Soviet sports, folk sports, and the development and impact of modern sports culture.
