| Zusammenfassung: | "The sheer depth of detail in the evocation of the place of football in the sports/physical culture of the USSR is important, as an empirically rich synthesis, to the fields of sport studies and Russian studies. The uniqueness of the case-study guarantees an element of originality unmatched in related studies. There is therefore no danger here of the book merely overlapping with other studies; rather, it complements them and takes our understanding to higher levels." - Alan Tomlinson, author of Sir Stanley Rous and the Growth of World Football: An Englishman Abroad "Focusing on one of the lesser-known football clubs in the Soviet Union is, in its own merit, a significant contribution to the relevant literature. Much has been written about the more celebrated football clubs of the time in the Soviet Union; therefore, conducting research on a club like Kirov is, indeed, invaluable." - Christos Kassimeris, author of Football Comes Home: Symbolic Identities in European Football During the early 1920s, the Soviet press denounced football as a bourgeois sport injurious to mind and body. Yet within that same decade, it became the most popular spectator sport in the USSR. Undergoing rapid professionalization, Soviet football grew into a fiercely competitive enterprise with complex regional and national bureaucracies, an international presence, and a conviction that victory on the field directly corresponded to Soviet supremacy. Even the most remote provincial teams understood that winning truly was everything. As both historian and fan, Larry E. Holmes shows how football culture in the USSR regularly disregarded official ideological and political imperatives and skirted the boundaries between socialism and capitalism. He also offers a closer look at the provincial football team Dinamo in Kirov from 1979 to 1985, when the club played at both its worst and its best. Spurred by a dismal 1979 season, Dinamo's administrators and regional authorities had to decide if they would obey Moscow's edict to reduce expenditures on professional sports or seek out new-and often illicit-funding sources to field a champion team. While choosing the latter drove Dinamo's ascent to the top of the First League, it also guaranteed that if the team failed to win, they would no longer be able to evade the central government's inquiry into Dinamo's finances. Drawing upon rich archival materials as well as newspapers and interviews with former players, Win or Else reveals the foundations of Soviet sports culture-and the hazards of victory"-- |
