Military physical training of the population of Khakassia during the Great Patriotic War

The object of the study is the military physical training of the population in the Khakass Autonomous Region during the Great Patriotic War, the subject is the military physical training of the Red Army reserve through the Vsevobuch system and the development of physical culture and sports. The paper was prepared on the basis of a systematic approach, which made it possible to consistently consider both directions in the preparation of the reserve in interconnection and interaction. The author notes that this topic is little studied in the historiography of Khakassia. The rich information potential of the funds of the National Archives of the Republic of Khakassia made it possible to reveal the successes and shortcomings of the military-physical training of the population of the region, which was subject to military training. Throughout the war years, Khakassia systematically trained specialists for the front who received good military-physical training. Particular attention is paid to military ski crosses and the training of skiers. At the same time, there are serious violations in the system of general military training for preconscripts and older ages liable for military service. There were cases when the training of the reserve in the region was in danger of failure. The study identifies the reasons for the unsatisfactory work on the formation of the Red Army reserve in some areas of the Khakass Autonomous Region, the cities of Abakan and Chernogorsk. Often these shortcomings in work were the result of weak leadership of local authorities, their irresponsible attitude to work. Much attention is paid to the pre-conscription training of young students of educational institutions of the region. The activities of the Krasnoyarsk Territorial and Khakass Regional Military Departments to improve the quality of military physical and physical culture and sports work in the schools of Khakassia are noted. The experience of the military-physical training of the Red Army reserve during the Great Patriotic War can be useful in the process of physical culture and sports education of modern youth. In addition, the poor knowledge of the object of study gives grounds for its further study as a very important direction in the history of the Great Patriotic War.
