Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study focuses on the crucial role of Soviet militarized organization “OSOAVIAKhIM” that had been used by the Stalinist leadership to mobilize all nation including elders, children and women by inculcating them militaristic knowledge during the interwar period when international situation for the Soviet Union has been seriously deteriorated. In order to write a fundamental article on this organization I have tried to collect and analyze various books, articles, candidate and doctoral dissertations defensed during the Soviet and post-Soviet era, especially using newly founded archives materials. Simultaneously I found miscellaneous raw materials in the various archives in Russia.
