The 40s of the XX century were the terrible ordeal for citizens of the Soviet Union. In the years of the Great Patriotic War the country sustained tremendous losses: millions of people died and tens of thousands towns were ruined. As soon as the occupational territories were liberated, the titanic work on the war-ravaged economy was launched, of both economic and political value.
The post-war period was characterized by the attempt of states-winners to rebuild the world according to their ideological goals sets. The deep contradictions between the capitalist and socialist systems resulted in the cold war where ideology was among the main constituents of the confrontation.
At this phase victories of athletes at the world arena were to become an important way to show superiority of the socialist system.
Hence, the material and technical base for development of mass physical culture and training of elite athletes in the Western Siberia was practically lacking by the beginning of the 1950s, in spite of the active position and enthusiasm of physical education teachers in its restoration. The simplest, mainly primitive sports grounds, which were limited, served the main sports facilities. So the contradiction between the state goal set in the field of physical culture and the possibility of its implementation locally clarified by the end of the 1940s. Serious reforms and transformations at government level were needed along with much work at the local level, which continued in the 1950s.
