Utilizing two editions of a Soviet textbook that was awarded a state prize and termed “the correct orientation” by a Central Committee official, the author analyzes the evolution of the Soviet view of the outside world in the first half of the 1970s. The movement away from ideological rigidity that began in the 1960s continued in the 1970s on a wide range of subjects. In addition, the analysis of the capitalist countries became intertwined with the debate on the future development of Soviet society; a number of features are said to have resulted from the imperatives of industrialization rather than the inner dynamics of capitalism, and hence are in need of adoption by the Soviet Union. The article closes with a brief survey of the issues subsequently raised in the published Soviet debates that continue on either side of the approved, centrist position.

The study analyzes the transformation of physical education in the 1930s, the involvement of the working youth in it, and the implementation of the social functions of physical education on the example of Western Siberia. The development of physical culture during the period of rapid economic transformations, which predetermined a multiple increase in the industrial capacity of the USSR, is considered on the basis of regional archival material and periodicals. The study showed that the years of industrialization and collectivization became a period of essential transformations in the field of physical culture, including: the creation of a normative basis for physical education and the All-Union Council of Physical Culture and Sports, the inclusion of physical education in socialist competition, the transition to the production principle of building physical education organizations, the creation of labor physical education links, etc. Exercises in the workplace and physical training breaks were recognized as the most appropriate forms of physical culture activities. In accordance with specific economic tasks, the restructuring of the departments activities in the field of physical culture in the region became the agenda of the III Plenary Session of the West Siberian Regional Council of Physical Culture in 1930. Physical training shock-brigades, overfulfilling production plans, were to become the main power to turn Siberian Krai into an industrial-agricultural and cultural territory. Trade unions and the Komsomol had an active position in this issue. In 1932, in Western Siberia, there were 75 thousand members of shock-brigades, combined in 356 self-supporting physical training brigades. Despite its great socioeconomic role, the organization and distribution of physical education in the agricultural sector were faced eith significant difficulties. Some improvement in the situation of the region resulted from measures taken to increase the number of physical education movement members: restructuring of the management of physical education of peasant youth; creation of political departments, introduction of rates for physical education workers in the staffing of machine tractor stations and state farms; holding of mass events. However, the simplest sports facilities appeared only in very few economically strong collective and state farms, the staffing was minimal, and the physical culture movement at the end of the decade was in the process of organizing collectives. Thus, in the 1930s, serious transformations took place in the field of physical culture. They became the prerequisite for the formation of physical culture as part of the Soviet culture and lifestyle of workers, for the solution of economic, social, and political problems. The involvement of Siberian peasant workers in this sphere, increases in workers’ labor productivity and health, among other factors, contributed to the industrialization and collectivization of the state in the short term.

The ideological struggle against the "counter-revolutionary manifestations" accompanied the entire history of Soviet society. However, there have been times when the war on the "ideological front" has intensified. For the most part, this was under the influence of major external shocks or during major ideological campaigns in the middle of the country. One of the episodes when foreign perturbations influenced the ideological confrontation within the USSR was the events of 1968 in Czechoslovakia. The special impact of the Prague Spring was felt in Ukraine, which was directly bordered by the Czechoslovak Republic, and had its powerful traditions of anti-Soviet ideological struggle. It is not surprising, therefore, that the State Security Committee of the USSR Council of Ministers has been particularly vigilant about the "ideological front" in Ukraine. Based on their understanding of the "ideological war" as an external sabotage, KGB analysts prepared relevant documents for top party leadership. The readers are invited to submit an archaeographic publication of the KGB document: "Memorandum. On some trends in the ideological diversion that is being carried out by the enemy in Ukraine".
