Soviet poster : be athletic.

The revolution radically changed the situation. Since 1917, physical culture has been under the control of the Vsevobuch system. This organization existed until 1921 and was aimed at fulfilling primarily military tasks. It was about the training of reservists and young people from 14 to 18 years old, their training for participation in hostilities. At the end of the Civil War, the orientation of physical education has changed. It has become a way to improve health and hygiene, to form a harmonious person.Some features of such a new and athletic person are persistently traced throughout this period: participation in collective activities, scientific optimization of physiology, rationality of movements, developed mind, harmonious body, civilized behavior and political literacy.
