Abstract

The main goal of the research, which is based on the Krasny Sport newspaper, is to clarify the validity of the beliefs about the entirely applied and militarized nature of sport during the war. Besides, the research traces the origins of the transformation in the functional and role-based model of sport at that time. The novelty of the research is that it focuses on the developments in covering sporting events that reflect changes in understanding the essence and aims of sport movement during the years generally believed to be the time of its suspension because of the war. Based on the logical and historical approaches, the research uses conceptual analysis as well as the descriptive and comparative methods.
