Departmental Sports Society

After the decree of April 18, 1918 "On compulsory training in military art" and the decree of the Council of Workers and Peasants Defense "On the organization of universal military training of workers" ( Vsevobuch ), numerous sports clubs, societies and organizations began to organize. In 1921, there were already dozens, if not hundreds. Vsevobuch existed until 1923. In the first half of the 1920s, the sports organizations Muravej (Moscow and Moscow Province ), Spartak (Petrograd, Ukraine, Transcaucasia), Red Dzhigit (Central Asia), and Red Young (Red Chervona Maladyak) were created , Belarus), "Young Spartak" (school sports clubs), "Komsomol Sports Fleet" (Tatarstan). In 1923, the Moscow proletarian sports society Dynamo was created .

Since the beginning of the 1930s , several dozen sports societies were created in the USSR. Almost every ministry had “its own” society.

Despite this, sports societies, all actually created under certain ministries and departments, had a conditional division into “departmental” and “voluntary”.

Departmental sports societies in the USSR were considered two societies created under the "power departments", which functioned and were funded within the framework of the administrative structure and budget financing existing in these departments:

• Dynamo (it was originally planned to be accessible to all segments of the population and was called the Moscow Sports and Proletarian Society Dynamo) , but later it turned into a departmental society, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR , previously also uniting the officers of the NKVD of the USSR , the NKGB of the USSR , the Ministry of State Security of the USSR , OGPU , under the Charter of 1939 was called the " All-Union Sports and Athletic Order of Lenin Society Dynamo "). ^[four]
• Sports and Athletic Association of the Armed Forces ^{[5] of the} USSR ( Ministry of Defense of the USSR ) - although they did not have the status of a sports society, it included a whole network of sports clubs united by departmental lines:
  • Army Central Sports Club (CSKA) - was the largest sports club under the Ministry of Defense of the USSR ^[5] (and, subsequently, Russia);
  • Central Sports Club of the Navy (CSK Navy) ; ^[6]
  • Central Sports Club of the Air Force (CSK Air Force) ; ^[6]
  • Army Sports Clubs (SKA) ^{[6] [7]} .

Sports societies, also created on a sectoral basis with other ministries and departments, were considered “voluntary” and had the full name “ voluntary sports society ” (or “ DSO ” for short), since they were not created and functioned directly within the framework of ministries and departments, and with various trade unions (or trade union associations) they were also financed at the expense of trade unions, as well as at the expense of membership fees of members of the DSO.
