metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article is dedicated to the complex issue of the relations between sports and politics. The participation
  of the Russian Empire and its national region, the Grand Duchy of Finland, in the early Olympic movement
  is considered in the more wider context in the influence of the ideology of nationalism on bilateral Russian/
  Finnish relations, the role of sports in the construction of Finnish national identity, the attitude of Russia to Finnish
  sporting nationalism. The author comes to the conclusion that if the driving forces of Finnish national movement
  were cultural and linguistic factors in the 19th century, at the beginning of the 20th century sports achievements
  became one of significant factors in development of the Finnish national movement and an essential element of
  the self-affirmation of the young nation on the international arena. The employment of sport as an instrument of
  political struggle was advanced especially by Finnish nationalists at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th
  centuries, when the Russian empire strengthened its pressure on the autonomous status of the Grand Duchy
  of Finland. Finland’s participation in the Olympic movement became a symbol of the struggle for independence
  which had firmly taken it roots in national identity. The Finnish ruling elite skillfully used sports achievements to
  create in Western Europe a positive image of Finland as oppressed by Russian empire, but at the same time an
  unsubmissive young nation with strong sports traditions.
