Image of sport in Eastern Europe

Zbigniew Krawczyk ; Academy of Physical Education, Warsaw, Poland

Abstract

An attempt to demonstrate the general social processes determining the transformation of sports in the countries of Eastern Europe is an extremely difficult task, although a feasible one. The main slogans of the doctrine of physical activity and sports in communist societies have found a strong foundation in the main principles of the theory of scientific socialism. In its most general sense this ideal has been widely internalized both by intellectual elites and by the broader social circles. It seems that there is a change as regards the image of sport in Eastern Europe - this change focuses on the individual and pluralistic requirements presented to people who are engaged in sport in any way.
