#39... so please help me understand, incessant gym commercials in the states, as well as sponsorship of new years celebrations on Times square in NYC is nothing else but amerikan "...propaganda parades to promote physical fitness, mainly to make the people ready for heavy labor, possible wars and improve health of the nation." ?
Soviet gym teachers parade in Moscow, 1956
The Russian word used in the original title, “физкультурники“, is now usually translated as “gym teachers”, but at the moment of the parades meant “sportsmen/bodybuilders or athletes”. This is a legacy of Stalin era propaganda parades to promote physical fitness, mainly to make the people ready for heavy labor, possible wars and improve health of the nation.
