https://doi.org/10.18384/2310-676X-2023-3-45-54
Abstract
Aim. To study the Russian sports movement under sanctions pressure from international sports organizations under the control of globalists.
Methodology. The study is based on work with published sources, as well as on generalization of the data given in modern research literature and journalism. The work uses problem-chronological, historical-systemic, comparative-historical methods, as well as general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction) and the principle of objectivity.
Results. The source analysis revealed that there is no consensus among the Russian sports community and active athletes regarding participation in international competitions on the terms of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and international sports federations. This circumstance is explained by the conflict between the supporters of globalism and sovereignty in the Russian sports movement.
Research implications. A concept was created about the decisive role of globalism supporters in the IOC and the vast majority of international sports federations and their pressure on Russian sports. The struggle between the supporters of Russia’s sports sovereignty and the adherents of embedding the national sports life into the emerging global world order is revealed. The materials of the article can be used in the development of special courses and special seminars on the contemporary national history, the history of Russian sports, international relations, the modern Olympic and international sports movement.
