1988 U.S.S.R. CUP.

1_1988_2m.jpg

16/12/2022

WORLD BODYBUILDING HISTORY.

1988. FIRST OFFICIAL U.S.S.R. BODYBUILDING CUP.

BACKGROUND.

We started working on the second part of the „World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia“ („Pasaulio kultūrizmo enciklopedija“, «Энциклопедия мирового культуризма»). The book will cover the time since 1973 until 1991. In 1973 the bodybuilding sport was prohibited and prosecuted in the Socialist Countries. In 1991 the Socialist System was ruined.

Looking from the point of view of the Communist regime about twenty years bodybuilding was on illegal position in the Socialist Countries. Being afraid many organizers and bodybuilders stopped the activities. Only two regular traditional contests were organized in the U.S.S.R.. That were the „Georg Tenno Memorial („Georgo tenno Memorialas“, «Мемориал Георга Тенно», Tallinn, Estonian SSR, 1971 - 1989) and the „Amber Prix International“ („Gintarinis prizas“, «Янтарный приз», Klaipeda, Lithuanian SSR, 1968 - 2022). The organizer of the „Georg Tenno Memorial“ was INNAR MARDO (Иннар Мардо, 1946 – 2002) and the organizer of the organizer of the „Amber Prix“ was DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. All other Socialist Countries did not organize the traditional International competitions. Later during the „MIKHAIL GORBACHOV Perestrojka“ (Перестройка) the U.S.S.R. Ministry of Sport (Goskomsport, Госкомспорт С.С.С.Р.) recognized the „Amber Prix International“ as the unofficial U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Championship. Then the U.S.S.R. Ministry of Sport started presenting to the Champions of the „Amber Prix International“ the honourable titles of the „U.S.S.R. Sport Master“ («Мастер спорта С.С.С.Р.).

To set the official U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation in 1987 the U.S.S.R. Congress of bodybuilders was organized in Kubenka city (near Moscow, Russian Federation). To the position of the President was ellected an Olympic Weightlifting Champion JURIJ VLASOV (Олимпийский чемпион Юрий Власов).

In 1988 in Leningrad (Russian Federation) the first official „U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Cup“ («Кубок С.С.С.Р. по культуризму») was held. The contest was recognized by the U.S.S.R. Government. National teams on many Socialist Countries participated at the event.

1988. U.S.S.R. FIRST OFFICIAL BODYBUILDING CUP.

The contest was held in the prestigeaus Leningrad City Palace „Oktiabrskij (дворец „Октябрьский», Ленинград). The delegates and the athletes lived in the superious hotels. The Champions of the first supported by the Government USSR Bodybuilding Cup pirmenybių («Кубок С.С.С.Р. по культуризму») were the known bodybuilders:

STANISLAV POLIAKOV (Станислав Поляков, Riga, Latvian SSR; trained by FELIKS SAJKOVSKIJ – Феликс Сайковский)

VALERIJ BOGDANOVIC (Валерий Богданович, Minsk, Belorussian SSR; prepared without a trainer)

SAULIUS MISEVICIUS (Kaunas, Lithuanian SSR, prepared without a trainer)

VIKTORAS JUCYS (Klaipeda, Lithuanian SSR; trained by DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS).

The Over All Champion of the 1988 U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Cup was VIKTORAS JUCYS.

WHAT IS OFFICIAL RECOGNIZED FEDERATION. TRAINER OF CHAMPION.

During the last years appeared many “new federations” which fool sportsmen. No International organizations recognize them and their activities mean nothing to the sport. Basing on the former background Ministries of Sport of the former Communist Countries still finance national I.F.B.B. federations. Until bodybuilding sport due to the efforts of BOB HOFFMAN was ruled by the F.I.H.C. (F.I.H., Federation Internationale Halterophile) which is an I.O.C. (I.O.C., International Olympic Committee) member; until bodybuilding sport due to the efforts of WEIDER brothers JOE and BEN was ruled through the Membership in G.A.I.S.F. (“General Association of International Sports Federations”) – bodybuilding was a recognized and respected sport. Forget the official bodybuilding after during the last years I.F.B.B. two times was divided (2008, 2015). Only seeking money and fighting for profit is left. Last President of I.F.B.B. RAFAEL SANTONJA finally ruined the sport. In 2022 W.A.D.A. stopped working with I.F.B.B.. About other “federations” better to keep silence – it is only humor…

So, recognized and supported by the U.S.S.R. Ministry of Sport (“Госкомспорт С.С.С.Р.») the U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation organized the first official “U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Cup” in Leningrad (Russian Federation) in 1988. The U.S.S.R. Ministry of Sport presented respectable titles of the “U.S.S.R. Master of Sport” for the Winners of this contest and gave medals and diplomas for the trainers of the Champions. Among them was the trainer of the Over All Champion DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS.
