Nesterova-Berzina M. A., 1946
The Body Beautiful
Stalin s Soviet Union, like its contemporary
Nazi Germany, sought to inscribe its ideology on the body of its subjects. The
health and beauty of the Soviet body was evidence of socialism s success in
creating a healthy and beautiful society. The Soviets abstained from participating
in the Olympic movement until after WWII, preferring to sponsor the socialist
athletic games, the Spartakiad (named after Spartacus). Thus it avoided
complicity in the 1936 Berlin Games. Nonetheless it shared the association of
physical vitality with social vitality.
