Sport in the Soviet Union
The Moscow Dynamos, football champions of the U.S.S.R., visited Britain after WWII. Their successful tour, in which they defeated Cardiff City, the Arsenal, and drew with both Chelsea and the Glasgow Rangers, created in Britain a significant interest in Soviet sport. Physical culture and sport in the Soviet Union has always been a government-sponsored affair with the aim being to further the new, many-sided and harmonious development of the individual as a worthy member of the socialist commonwealth. This booklet is a glimpse into sport and life in the Soviet Union directly after WWII.
