WORLD BODYBUILDING ENCYCLOPEDIA. WHY WORKS ARE POSTPONED? Working since 1968 and today uniting 136 country members of all Continents the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) works on the unique Project – the „World Body Building Encyclopedia“ («Энциклопедиявсемирногокультуризма»). According to the time represented it will be issued in four parts (four books). BIOGRAPHIES OF HISTORICAL PERSONS. In May, 2020 we were ready to finish the preliminary work on the Encyclopedia and present it to the Publishing House. Then the publishing professional and one of the beginners of bodybuilding in the Socialist World who was awarded with the International „John Grimek Award“ and the U.N.E.S.C.O. diploma VALERIJ KORESHKOV (ВалерийКорешков) insisted on taking all biographies of the historical persons from the main Encyclopedia text and having them in a separate part of the Encyclopedia. We agreed and it took two months. WORLD BODYBUILDING HISTORY WAS CHANGED TOTALLY. Working on the first part of the Encyclopedia we found that a number of well known bodybuilders declared their winnings of the famous contests but they were not in the lists of any bodybuilding organization which ever organized these competitions. We started scrutinizing the historical material deeper an deeper and finally we found the unpublished historical materials. The materials proved of the thirty years of unknown bodybuilding history which was hidden from us by some definite reasons. This changed all our Encyclopedia text written before and we had to start from the beginning again. We hope to present the first book of the „World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia“ at the beginning of the 2021. INFORMATION.

IMPRISONED WITH NOBEL PRIZE OWNER ALEKSANDR SOLZHENITSYN. GEORG TENNO – ESTONIA HEROE OF SOVIET TIMES. SOCIALIST WORLD BODYBUILDING HISTORY. In the sixties of the last century the greatest bodybuilding propaganda in the U.S.S.R. was made by the Estonian weightlifter GEORG TENNO (Георгий Тэнно). GEORG TENNO was a former navy officer and participant of the Second World War. In 1948 due to a false accusement of spying against the U.S.S.R. GEORG TENNO was arrested and sentenced to eight years imprisonment. It happened that GEORG TENNO was placed in the same prison cell together with the U.S.S.R. disident ALEKSANDR SOLZHENITSYN (Александр Солженицын). During the imprisonment GEORG TENNO made five unsuccessfull attempts to run away. There is a story about GEORG TENNO in the famous book of ALEKSANDR SOLZHENITSYN„Arkhipelag Gulag“named „The Runaway“ “ («Убежденный беглец»). About GEORG TENNO ALEKSANDR SOLZHENITSYNwrote: „He was the most stronger and the most brave of us...“. In 1970 Nobel Committee awarded ALEKSANDR SOLZHENITSYN with the Nobel Prize in Literature. Ending the fifties of the last century GEORGIJ TENNO was released from the prison. He started working at the U.S.S.R. Institute of Scientific Studies of the Physical Culture (В.Н.И.И.Ф.К., Всесоюзный научно исследовательский институт физической культуры). GEORG TENNO первый в С.С.С.Р. открыл для всех и культуризм, и атлетизм и гантельную гимнастику. Под страшной цензурой К.П.С.С. он находил возможность в 60-е годы двадцатого столетия написать, что занятия гантельной гимнастикой, штангой, блочными приспособлениями могут в короткий срок увеличить силу, и выносливость, приобрести атлетическую фигуру, исправить некоторые дефекты телосложения, приобрести здоровье. В журнале «Спортивная жизнь России» ему давали мало места для статей, комплексов, но и там он все-таки находил много поклонников, которые впоследствии и возродили атлетизм в России. In 1968 GEORG TENNO published his book „The Athletism“ («Атлетизм»). At once it became very popular. The book was full of information: training methods, recupperation after workouts and various diets. At that time this was a unique information. Though GEORG TENNO did not speak about the sources of his knowlidge but it was evident he used various foreign literature. The work at the institute gave him such opportunities. After imprisonment GEORG TENNO knew very well all political moments and he was carefull. Due to this in his book he wrote that „bodybuilding is not to stay in fron of a mirror. Bodybuilding is to strenthen the muscles that will serve to the country“.
Once VLADIMIR CIUDINOV in the U.S.S.R. popular magazine „Sportivnaja žizn Rossii“ («Спортивная жизнь России») insisted that the U.S.S.R. system of physical culture should accept the bodybuilding methods developed by GEORG TENNO. He speaks how GEORG TENNO translated information from the „West“ literature. Often he just copied the methodical information. GEORG TENNO never saw any diference between the bodybuilding and the „athletism“. Also GEORG TENNO thought that „everybody for himself is the advicer and the trainer“.
Suddenly when the prosecution of bodybuilding started GEORG TENNO died in an accident. Who knows - maybe it was an accidental death. To remember GEORG TENNO Estonians started organizing the „Georg Tenno Memorial“ («МемориалГеоргаТенно») contest in 1971. Fourteen Memorials were organized until 1989. For long years of the bodybuilding prohibition and prosecution in the Socialist Countries „Georg Tenno Memorial“ and the historic „Amber Prix International“ („Gintarinis Prizas“, «Янтарный приз», 1968-2020) were the only one regular bodybuilding competitons in the Socialist Countries. Remark: the documents of the „Georg Tenno Memorial“ collected by the President W.F.F. –W.B.B.F. Estonia INNAR MARDO are kept in the archieves of the W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. International Federation.

2020. UNIQUE RECORD – PROFESSOR VASILIJ BESPALENKO PARTICIPATES 40 YEARS IN A ROW. REMEMBER BODYBUILDING LEGENDS. GET TO KNOW WORLD BODYBUILDING HISTORY. The 2017 was an extraordinary year for the World Bodybuilding. In 2017 the International Sport Society celebrated the World‘s Oldest Historic Traditional Bodybuilding Contest „Amber Prix International“ (международный турнир „Янтарныйприз», tarptautinis “Gintarinio prizo” turnyras)50-th anniversary (1968-2020). In 2017 the International Sport Society celebrated the 120-th anniversary of the first bodybuilding contest ever (held in 1898 in England and Russia). Also in 1898 in England the first Bodybuilding „Health and Strenght“ Magazine has been started to issue and it is issued until now by ROY EDWARDS (UK). In 2017 the International Sport Society celebrated the 90-th anniversary of female fitness sport. It is connected with the famous BRONE‘s DUBAR regular trainings and participation in the New York City in 1927 - 1940. We are glad to state that the Americans started collecting additional historic information about BRONE DUBAR for the coming „World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia“. Historically BRONE DUBAR with her family emigrated from Lithuania to the US right before the First World War. WORLD BODYBUILDING ENCYCLOPEDIA. Crowning it‘s 50 years of International Bodybuilding activities, the WFF-WBBF (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) works on the unique Global Bodybuilding Project - the „World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia“ («Энциклопедиямировогокультуризма», “Pasaulio kultūrizmo enciklopedija”). The Encyclopedia Project works are led by the President W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. The first part of the Encyclopedia is nearly ready to print. Until now nobody even tried to work on such a huge International Project. To be frank, only few people can do it. There were attempts to name some works „Encyclopedia“ too, but that were not Encyclopedias of Bodybuilding Sport in real (for example, as Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s „Encyclopedia“ which he has written about himself in person mostly). Every Encyclopedia covers much wider basic things. Our „World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia“ is based on the fivety years collected Archives of the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International, the Archivic Documents were presented to us by the Owner and the President of W.A.B.B.A. (World Amateur Body Building Association)SERGE NUBRET (France), the Heads of the UK Public Club N.A.B.B.A. (National Amateur Body Building Association) OSCAR HEIDENSTAM (England) and IVAN DUNBAR (Ireland), the Owners and Heads of the I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) Commercial Company BEN WEIDER (Canada), PAUL CHUA (Singapore), ALEX BAUER (Austria) and JOSE PARDO HIDALGO (Spain). Starting with EUGENE SANDOW our „World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia“ covers the period of over 130 years time. It presents over 10 000 known International Bodybuilding Sport personalities who were very important for the World Bodybuilding Sport during the last Century. Important - all these 10 000 Bodybuilding Persons are representing all historically known traditional International Bodybuilding Federations. Our „World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia“ will be published in various popular languages. WORLD BODYBUILDING LEGEND – PROFESSOR VASILIJ BESPALENKO.

LEARN WORLD BODYBUILDING HISTORY. WORLD BODYBUILDING HEROES. CESLAV TAMULEVICH. Today we can not speak about bodybuilding in the Socialist Countries not mentioning CESLAV TAMULEVICH. For twenty years his personal influence to bodybuilding was evident. CESLAV TAMULEVICHwas one of bodybuilding pioneers in the Socialist World. He was a talanted trainer who training other athletes before giving them suggestions did many experiments on himself. Also he participated himself at nearly all first U.S.S.R. bodybuilding competitions. CESLAV TAMULEVICH was the founder and the Chairman of the famous „Vilnius Bodybuilding School“ (1965-1995) which was for many years the U.S.S.R. bodybuilding leader. The school gave direct and real way to develop bodybuilding in the U.S.S.R.. In 1974 at the U.S.S.R. Contest „Georg Tenno Memorial“ („Georgo Tenno Memorialas“, «Мемориал Георга Тенно») representatives of the „Vilnius Bodybuilding School“ took all first places. The contest was organized by the „Soul of Estonia Bodybuilding“ INNAR MARDO (Иннар Мардо). At tah competition only Estonian OLEV ANNUS won this hight category against Russian VLADIMIR DUBININ(Владимир Дубинин). Then the Over All Champion became a student of CESLAV TAMULEVICH PRANAS MURAUSKAS (ПранасМураускас). CESLAV TAMULEVICH trained many famous U.S.S.R. bodybuilders and most of them participated at the historical „Amber Prix International“ (1968-2020) „Gintarinis prizas“, „Янтарный приз») bodybuilding contest. INTERNATIONAL AWARD REACHED IT‘S HEROE. On September 28, 2020 at the Headquarters of the Parliament Republic Lithuania for the social work done CESLAV TAMULEVICH was announced about the Great International Award. Right after it the delegates of the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International Federation (World Fitness federation, World Body Building Federation) left the Parliament to present CESLAV TAMULEVICH the International Honour Silver Medal.

SOMETIMES CONTESTS HAVE INTERESTING DETAILS. MOTORCYCLES AND CARS FOR OVER ALL WINNERS. W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) organized several Asia Championships in India. International Vice President Professor LALIT KUMAR SONI presented motorcycles for the Champions. Once the Champion tried to refuse to take the motorcycle bacause there was no helmet for it. People started laughing and he changed his mind. CARS OF THE CZECH I.F.B.B. In 1996 the Czech I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) organized International Contests in the cities of Prague and Brno. The President W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS as a V.I.P. Guest by the organizers was invited to this contest. There was a new car to be presented to the Over All Winner. The fight among the participating bodybuilders was between the 1996 I.F.B.B. Over All World Junior Champion from Germany and the local Czech bodybuilder. Though the German heavyweight athlete was better, the Czech judges announced the winner is the local one. Trainer of the National Team Germany was in panic about this. Then DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS insisted to make one more judging and comparisions of those two athletes. Again the judges proclaimed the winner the local bodybuilder. Their argument was: „anyway the German bodybuilder can not pass the country border with this car (Republic of Czech was not a E.U. member then) and they presented one more argument: „it is our contest, it is our car and we give it to whom we want“... LIES FOR THE ATHLETES. CARS FOR THE WINNERS IN LITHUANIA. Some years ago a Kaunas city bodybuilding organizer announced that the Over All Winner of his contest will receive a car as a prize. Nice! Many famous athletes were interested to compete then. After the contest everybody learned, that the car was not a new one. To say more – the owner of this car was the contest organizer himself! To say even more – the “judges decided”, that the best athlete was the contest organizer himself as he participated at this competition too. So his own car came back as a prize for him. CARPETS FOR THE WINNERS. In 1991 the I.F.B.B. International Contest “Mr. Ural” was organized in Russia Ufa City by ALTAF GALEJEV. The organizers announced that the prize for the Over All Winner will be a new hand made carpet. At this contest participated a number of Socialist countries, Holland and Germany with USA as well. Germans brought a good team with a famous I.F.B.B. bodybuilder AUREL HILLEBRAND. Again, the winner became a local bodybuilder. Trainer of the National Team Germany was in panic saying: “We do not need the carpet, we want fair judging. What I will say in Germany about this?”. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS insisted on another judging and one more comparisons of both athletes. Finally the winner was proclaimed AUREL HILLEBRAND and the local athlete had to give the carpet back…

Edmundas Daubaras. Closing the year of the 2020 we want to thank all of You for the huge work that was done.Corona virus tried to stop us but we managed to continue our work. We have been working much and achieved good positive results in 2020 again. Today the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) International federation unites national organizations of 136 countries, that represent all Continents. Some time ago Kuwait joined the W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. activities. In 2020 the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. organized many contests in various countries. The year began with the official visit to Ukraine in January. There were a number of International activities in the city of Lvov. Then for the social work done the International Vice President LALIT KUMAR SONI (India) was presented with the “Honour Professor’s” title by the oldest Ukraine Stavropigion University. Also the International President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS and one of bodybuilding pioneers in the Socialist Countries a known writer and journalist VALERIJ KORESHKOV were presented with the U.N.E.S.C.O. diplomas. In February and March, 2020 a number of International happenings were held in India Ludhiana and Delhi Cities. First time all International Chairmen were working together in India: President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS, Vice Presidents ANDREJ BASOV and LALIT SONI. After this a corona virus started in most countries and the calendar of planned works was changed totally. Nevertheless many local contests were organized in various countries. In September the 31-st World and Europe Championship was held in Klaipeda, Lithuania. It was held together with the historic World’s oldest competition the 53-d “Amber Prix International” (1968-2020, «Янтарный приз», „Gintarinis prizas“). To make competitions successful helped International Specialists: EDITA SENDRIENE, SVETLANA PUGACHEVA and UGNE RAUDYTE DAUBARIENE. After it for the Chairmen of the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International Official meeting at the Parliament Republic Lithuania was held. During the Official Visit to the Parliament the Member of the Parliament Youth and Sport CommissionGEDIMINAS VASILIAUSKAS was present at the event. Then a number of the World Bodybuilding Legends were honored and awarded with the International Honor Silver Medal: an U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Pioneer, one of five Chairmen of the first U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation VALERIJ KORESHKOV (ВалерийКорешков), an U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Pioneer, one of five Chairmen of the first U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation VYTAUTAS ZUMERIS, an U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Pioneer, famous art sculpturer LEONAS PIVORIUNAS, one of Chairmen of the famous U.S.S.R. „Vilnius Bodybuilding School“, poet and drama writer VITALIJ ASOVSKIJ (ВиталийАсовский) and the Chairmen of the famous U.S.S.R. „Vilnius Bodybuilding School“, talanted trainerCESLAV TAMULEVICH (ЧеславТамулевич). A number of the Heads of the foreign delegations took part at the ceremony. Speaking about the year of 2020 we would like to say special thaks to a number of Amateur and Professional Athletes who among World‘s best 10 000 athletes climbed up in the prestigeous „World Ranking List“:KUSHAL CHANGMAI, DHRUWA TAMULY, SHANKAY TANWAR (all from India), HANNA SKYTTA (Finland), MAROS KANASZ (Slovakia), MARINA VLASOVA, MICHAIL MALEK, ALEXANDER PULBERE, NIKOLAJ VOROBJOV, ALISA KLIMOVA (all from Russia), OKSANA KONDRATOVA (Vietnam), ALEKSEJ PETKEVICH (Latvia), ROMAN POLSHIN (Estonia), DAINIUS DZIKEVICHUS, KARINA RADZIABOVA, AKVILE SHARKAITE, ALEKSANDRA KUKRESH SOROKINA, OLGA KOLESOVA, MARINA LEGENZOVA (all from Lithuania). The W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International works on the unique Project – the „World Body Building Encyclopedia“ («Энциклопедиявсемирногокультуризма»). According to the time represented it will be issued in four parts (four books). Working on the first part of the Encyclopedia we found that a number of well known bodybuilders declared their winnings of the famous contests but they were not in the lists of any bodybuilding organization which ever organized these competitions. We started scrutinizing the historical material deeper an deeper and finally we found the unpublished historical materials. The materials proved of the thirty years of unknown bodybuilding history which was hidden from us for some definite reasons. This changed all our Encyclopedia text written before and we had to start from the beginning again. We hope to present the first book of the „World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia“ at the beginning of the 2021. As CORONA VIRUS is planned until May, 2021 the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. will organize all main International competitions starting from June, 2021 till end of September, 2021. In most World Countries the new CORONA VIRUS will start in October, 2021. We have real Great Works to do for You and for the History of the World Bodybuilding. No one other International Organization, that represents our sport, can not be proud of so long history of it’s International activities. No one of them has so many Country - Members. No one organizes so many official International events. No one of other organizations seek developing of our sport on official level, but the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F.. They even do not try to do this. To say more – today all International Federations have chosen the commercial way of their development and nearly all of them are private commercial profit companies today, not sport federations. Representing World‘s Fitness and Bodybuilding Sport the W.F.F. - International and the W.B.B.F. - International are the only ones World Wide Officially Registered International Non Profit Sport Organizations that work well for our sport so long time. New ideas and tremendous work done for the International Sport make the W.F.F. and W.B.B.F. to be the today’s International Leaders in Bodybuilding and Fitness World Wide. We mean real sport and the Official Level. The W.F.F. and W.B.B.F. do not live yesterday’s life. We have lots of new Global Bodybuilding Projects ahead. HEALTH, SUCCESS, LUCK AND HAPPINESS IN 2021!!! God bless all of us in our sincere pray!

EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS met VALERIJ KORESKOV at the famous Vilnius „Victoria“ gym. VALERIJ KORESKOV was attending this gym regularly, had all the time great shape but never took part at the competitions. At that time „Victoria“gym was run by the genious trainers CESLAV TAMULEVIC and VITALIJ ASOVSKIJ. Both trainers prepared a number of the unique and extremelly high level champions of the historic „Amber Prix International“ contest. At taht time many famous people attended „Victoria“ gym, among them the former Prime Minister Republic Lithuania GEDIMINAS KIRKILAS, the Head of the State Control Committee RISARDAS KRINICKIS. The specialists know very well that after the prohibition and prosecution of bodybuilding in the Socialist Countries the „Amber Prix International“ was recognized by the U.S.S.R. Sport Ministry (Goskomsport U.S.S.R.) as official U.S.S.R. bodybuilding Championaship. The Sport Ministry started presenting the high official „Sport Master“ names to the champions of the „Amber Prix International“. After the evaluating historic events of those years the specialists decided that the „Amber Prix International“ was the real World Championship of the Socialist Countries in fact. The political and social value, the level of the organizers, the level of participating athletes was exactly the same as it was at those years in the „Western“ World or even much better. In 2011 during the Official Visit of the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International delegatyion to the Vatican our activities during the socialist times were named as „disidentic“ towards the Communist Regime.

AFTER 100 YEARS WORLD BODYBUILDING HISTORY WAS REPEATED. 1927 BRONE DAUBARAITE AND 1997 EDITA DAUBARAITE. International sport society knows very well about the U.S.A. sportsman BRONE DAUBARAITE (Broné “Brownie” Dubar, 1906-1986 m.).Emigrated from Lithuania before the First World War she was the World’s First Fitness Athlete. At that time there was no bodybuilding and fitness sport and BRONE DAUBARAITE did not participate at the competitions. As many athletes and strongmen of her time she travelled though the World Countries and demonstrated her unique sport programs. „EUROSPORT“ REPORTS ABOUT OVER ALL WORLD CHAMPION. After seventy years in 1997 Lithuanian gymnastic athlete EDITA DAUBARAITE repeated her grandmother’s BORNE DAUBARAITE achievements. She became the over all World Fitness Champion. That was the first time when a representative from the previous socialist world won such a title. The event was televised by “Eurosport” television several times. Then “Eurosport” spoke much about the EDITA’S gymnastic abilities and International press wrote much about the Lithuanian sportsman. The Ministry of Sport Republic Lithuania started steps to present EDITA DAUBARAITE a high Governmental Award. Unfortunately intrigues did not let to happen this. Later representing Post Socialist Countries Slovak MARIETA ZIGALOVA (Marieta Žigalova) and Polish ALEKSANDRA KOBIELAK became the Over All World Fitness Champions too. But it was later. At this moment EDITA DAUBARAITE (Sendriene) leads the International Judges Committee of the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) federation.

WORLD BODYBUILDING HISTORY. ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS. WORLD BODYBUILDING ENCYCLOPEDIA. Today the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) International unites 138 Country – Members and organizes nearly 60 annual Amateur and Professional International Events World Wide. Looking from the juridical point of view the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International is no doubt the Real World Bodybuilding Leader. Crowning it‘s 50 years of International Bodybuilding activities, the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. works on the Unique Global International Bodybuilding Project - the „World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia“ («Энциклопедиявсемирногокультуризма», “Pasaulio kultūrizmo enciklopedija”). There will be four books of the Encyclopedia. The first book will cover period of time from the old times to 1973. There will be hundreds of sport biographies of the important International Persons. One of them is Lithuanian ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS (1947-1998). ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS – NEGATIVE BODYBUILDING HEROE. As a bodybuilding organizer ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS started working in 1973. Then during the meeting in Kaunas city he organized the overthrow of the President National Bodybuilding Federation of Lithuania JUOZAS JUSEVICHUS. JUOZAS JUSEVICHUS was one of the bodybuilding pioneers in the U.S.S.R. and Lithuania. 1979. RUINED INTERNATIONAL CONTEST „U.S.S.R. – CZECHOSLOVAKIA“. During the time of the political prohibition and prosecution of bodybuilding sport in the Socialist Countries still some contests we managed to do with great efforts. In 1979 ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS ruined the International Contest „U.S.S.R. – Czechoslovakia“. This competition was prepared by DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS and a number of the Bodybuilding Chairmen of Czechoslovakia – the President of the National Federation VOJTECH FIALA and his assistants FRANTISHEK BULVA and IVAN MACH. This would be the first time when the U.S.S.R. bodybuilders will cross the U.S.S.R. country boarder that was closed due to the above mentioned bodybuilding prohibition. After the first visit of DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS to Czechoslovakia, their bodybuilding Chairmen addressed GENADIJ BALDIN(ГеннадийБалдин) in Moscow. GENADIJ BALDIN was one of the five Chairmen of the in 1968 established U.S.S.R. bodybuilding federation which stopped working in 1973 after bodybuildin prohibition. GENADIJ BALDIN answered the Czechslovakians that he left bodybuilding activities. He wrote that there are several still working bodybuilding organizers in Baltic countries whom they can contact easily. Only they dared to go on working during the years of prohibition of bodybuilding (letters were presented to us by another one of the five Chairmen of the U.S.S.R. bodybuilding federation VALERIJ KORESHKOV (Валерий Корешков) and now they are kept in the archieves of the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International). The preparation for the contest „U.S.S.R. – Czechoslovakia“ took four years. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS visited Czechoslovakia in 1975 and 1977. A number of meeings with Czechoslovakia bodybuilding leaders were made. Also he met famous trainers and bodybuilders there. The intensive correspondence was done as well. The U.S.S.R. bodybuilders needed visas to reach another countries. Finally the needed official documents from Czechoslovakia reached DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS had nothing to do with the competition „U.S.S.R. – Czechoslovakia“ and he was not included to the delegation to Czechoslovakia. That was the reason that ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS started his intrugues and ruined the visit. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS always was in touch with many World Bodybuilding Leaders. In 1978 he visited Varzszawa „Herkules“ (Poland) bodybuilding gym. Polish organizers planned to make an International Contest in 1979. They gave DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS official invitiation for the U.S.S.R. team to participate at the event. After the above mentioned intriques of ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS did not visit the Polish contest himself. He gave the official invitation to Poland to Estonia Bodybuilding Chairman INNAR MARDO.INNAR MARDO took the best U.S.S.R. bodybuilder Estonian OLEV ANNUS to Poland and he became the Over All Champion there (documents about all mentioned events are kept at the archieves of the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International). 1981. OLEV ANNUS LOST A CONTEST DUE TO POLITICAL REASONS. In 1981 in Lithuanian Klaipeda City was held the most important U.S.S.R. bodybuilding contest of the year – the „Amber Prix International“ („Gintarinis Prizas“, „Янтарный приз»). During this contest the General Secretary of the U.S.S.R. bodybuilding federation ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS organized the defeat of OLEV ANNUS. The political powers of the U.S.S.R. knew that OLEV ANNUS was on the way to emigrante to Finland and they did not like this. How it could happen that the best U.S.S.R. bodybuilder runs away from the country? The defeat of OLEV ANNUS was organized through ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS. Before the competition ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS gathered the judges and strictly informed them the „how to judge“. OLEV ANNUS lost his win to another athlete. After the 1981 „Amber Prix International“ competition OLEV ANNUS protested and wrote letters to the bodybuilding magazines of various countries, but it changed nothing. Defeat is defeat... INTRIQUES WITH GUSEV AND BUCHINSKAS. Due to the fights with ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS inside Lithuania bodybuilding organization the Champion of the „Amber Prix International“ JURIJ GUSEV (Юрий Гусев) and his trainer were planing to participate in Estonia at the International „Georg Tenno Memorial“ („Мемориал Георга Тенно», „Georgo Tenno Memorialas“) on their own. Then ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS took efforts to prohibit the participation of JURIJ GUSEV.DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS spoke with the Estonia Bodybuilding Chairman INNAR MARDO and received his official permition for JURIJ GUSEV to participate. After this JURIJ GUSEV participated at the „Georg Tenno Memorial“ and became the Junior Over All Champion. Exactly the same situation happened with another Champion of the „Amber Prix International“ Lithuanian ROLANDAS BUCHINSKAS. Again ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS prohibited him to participate in Estonia. Again DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS spoke with INNAR MARDO and received his permition for ROLANDAS BUCHINSKAS to participate. Again ROLANDAS BUCHISKAS became the Junior Over All Champion of the „Georg Tenno Memorial“. 1988. INTRIQUES STOPPED PARTICIPATION AT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP IN AUSTRALIA. In 1988 history with the intriques of ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS was repeated. In 1987 the Official U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation was established. Due to the efforts of the famous weightlifting Olympic Champion JURIJ VLASOV (Юрий Власов) the federation was recognized by the U.S.S.R. Ministry of Sport (Goskomsport; Госкомспорт С.С.С.Р.). According to the rules all category winners of the first Official U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Cup were included to the National Team to participate at the 1988 World Championship in Australia. Among the champions were two Lithuanians: VIKTORAS JUCYS (Over All Champion) and category winner SAULIUS MISEVICHUS. As before the General Secretary of the U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS was not included to the delegation which participated in Australia. For this reason ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS did not give the passports for VIKTORAS JUCYS and SAULIUS MISEVICIUS. Both of them worked on preperation for several months and finally at the airport did not receive passports and could not leave to the World Championship. ON THE KNEES U.S.S.R. BODYBUILDING FEDERATION GENERAL SECRETARY. Just before the meeting of DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS and the President of the I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) federation BEN WEIDER a meeting of a number of the U.S.S.R. bodybuilding organizers had happened. It was in a hotel of Leningrad (now St. Peterburg). At this meeting participated DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS, the U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation General Secretary ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS, ALEKSANDRAS NOVIKOVAS, RAMUTIS KAIRAITIS (both Officials of the U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation) and bodybuilding organizer and today‘s famous Lithuania photo artist ALGIMANTAS ALEKSANDRAVICIUS and the best U.S.S.R. bodybuilder at that time VIKTORAS JUCYS. Learned about the coming meeting of DSc. EDMUDAS DAUBARAS with BEN WEIDER,ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS insisted that he is intending to come with him too. Then DSc.EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS refused to take him as he did not want to have any problems from ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS with the U.S.S.R. secret services. During the meeting at the Leningrad hotel DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS listed „bad deals“ of the ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS that he did in previous years. Main “bad deals” were as follows: in 1979 ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS ruined International contest ”U.S.S.R. versus Czechoslovakia” and in 1988 he ruined participation of a number of the best U.S.S.R. bodybuilders at the World Championship in Australia. Also DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS reminded the prohibition of JURIJ GUSEV and ROLANDAS BUCINSKAS to participate at the “Georg Tenno Memorial” competitions in Estonia and some other intrigues of ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS. Then in front of all participants of the meeting ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS accepted his fault and started crying and knelt on the knees begging to forget those things.

When we speak about the World bodybuilding history of the ninetienth century, we should not forget to mention Austrian THEODOR SIEBERT (full name is Adolf Eduard Theodor Friedrich Siebert,1866-1961 m.). THEODOR SIEBERT founded his personal way of the training systems fot athletes and strongmen and he published several books about this. In 1901 he opened a popular gym for power sports. His close friends were a Russian VLADISLAV KRAJEVSKIJ (Владислав Краевский, 1841-1901 m.)and a German who lived in Estonia GEORG HACKENSCHMIDT(Георг Гаккеншмидт, 1878-1968 m.). World sport history specialist DAVID CHAPMAN speaks that THEODOR SIEBERT was writing in the German language so his works were not translated into English and are not known in English speaking countries.

In 1963 under direct influence American BOB HOFFMAN and British OSCAR STATE and the initiative of the F.I.H.C. (F.I.H., Federation Internationale Halterophile, later F.I.H.C., Federation Internationale Halterophile et Culturisme, later I.W.F., International Weightlifting Federation) in the U.S.S.R. was established first International Bodybuilding Organization (Общественный комитет атлетической гимнастики С.С.С.Р.). of the Socialist World. The U.S.S.R. Sport Ministry (Goskomsport, ГоскомспортС.С.С.Р.) appointed a known Russia weightlifter ROMAN MOROZ (Роман Мороз) as the President of this Organization. Tnen the U.S.S.R. was not ready to face this innovation and the new organization worked only formally. Real bodybuilding started in 1968 when the another new Organization was created in Lithuania. Again the formal Chairman of the new Organization was the above mentioned ROMAN MOROZ. He was the man to connect bodybuilders with the Monistry of Sport of the U.S.S.R.. in real bodybuilding sport in the U.S.S.R. was governed by other people. They were Russian GENADIJ BALDIN(ГеннадийБалдин) and two Lithuanians VALERIJ KORESHKOV (ВалерийКорешков) and VYTAUTAS ZUMERIS. That were the requirements of the „communist times and the communist regime“. INFORMATION. More detailed information on the Global International Site www.wff.lt, see forum topics.

WORLD BODYBUILDING HISTORY. DIRTY BODYBUILDING IN ESTONIA. WORLD BODYBUILDING ENCYCLOPEDIA. Today the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F.

Looking from the juridical point of view the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International is no doubt the Real World Bodybuilding Leader.

There will be four books of the Encyclopedia. The first book will cover period of time from the old times to 1973. The work on the Encyclopedia goes on. DIRTY BODYBUILDING IN ESTONIA. INNAR MARDO (1945-2002; Inaras Mardo, Иннар Мардо) was the most important Estonia bodybuilding persons ever. Several days we were studying the thirty years lasting correspondence between the President of the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS (Др. Эдмундас Даубарас) and INNAR MARDO. INNAR MARDO was and still is the unique historical Estonia bodybuilding leader and the real soul of bodybuilding in Estonia. Twenty years ago INNAR MARDO presented to DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS historical documents on the Estonia International contest „Georg Tenno Memorial“ („Georgo Tenno Memorialas“, «МемориалГеоргаТенно»). HAVING A WISH DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN DO IT. Multiple letters of INNAR MARDO tell us about many unknown and forgotten facts and stories. We are surprised of the inner powewr of INNAR MARDO when his bodybuilders betrayed him and when many Estonian organizers treated him very badly. The reason is clear – they envyed him and his talent so much. We would like to underline that for several years best bodybuilders of the U.S.S.R. and Socialist countries were pupils of INNAR MARDO Estonians OLEV ANNUS and INDREK OTSUS. Both bodybuilders were winners of the most important International U.S.S.R. competitions – the „Amber Prix International“ („Gintarinis prizas“, «Янтарный приз», is still running, 1968-2020) and the „Georg Tenno Memorial“ (organized in 1971-1979). Also under the guidance of INNAR MARDO both bodybuilders won several International competitions in various Socialist countries. Think of this - who are those bodybuilders and organizers without INNAR MARDO?In some cases the enemies of INNAR MARDO were successful and INNAR MARDO had to leave the National Estonia bodybuilding federation. By the way, Lithuanians were not very happy of the strong Estonia bodybuilding and helped the enemies of INNAR MARDO in their dirty works. The Lithuanians were led by ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS and some official from Kaunas city. Especially big fight against IONNAR MARDO was after the tenth „Georg Tenno Memorial“ But after this no one Estonia bodybuilding organizer ever reached the highness of the work done by INNAR MARDO. The level and inside power was very low of them. In the “World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia” year after year we will speak about the activities of those above mentioned “heroes”. It is a pity that at the end of his life INNAR MARDO had no enough power to reach the previous hights of the glory of Estonia bodybuilding. The glory that was created by him – INNAR MARDO. About these details we will speak in the second book of the Encyclopedia. INFORMATION. More detailed information on the Global International Site www.wff.lt, see forum topics.

LEARN WORLD BODYBUILDING HISTORY. THE ONLY ONE CLASSIC BODYBUILDING SCHOOL IN ALL SOCIALIST COUNTRIES. WORLD BODYBUILDING HEROES. CESLAV TAMULEVICH. Today we can not speak about bodybuilding in the Socialist Countries not mentioning CESLAV TAMULEVICH. For twenty years his personal influence to bodybuilding was evident. CESLAV TAMULEVICHwas one of bodybuilding pioneers in the Socialist World. He was a talanted trainer who training other athletes before giving them suggestions did many experiments on himself. Also he participated himself at nearly all first U.S.S.R. bodybuilding competitions. CESLAV TAMULEVICH was the founder and the Chairman of the famous „Vilnius Bodybuilding School“ (1965-1995) which was for many years the U.S.S.R. bodybuilding leader. The school gave direct and real way to develop bodybuilding in the U.S.S.R.. When we speak about any classic bodybuilding school in any of the Socialist Countries we mean that „Vilnius Bodybuilding School“ was the only one of that kind. We may try to mention the „Sandow“ bodybuilding school in Chechoslovakian Marianske Lazne led by LUDEK NOSEK until now. But this shool had no great international level bodybuilders except ALOIS PEK. In 1974 at the U.S.S.R. Contest „Georg Tenno Memorial“ („Georgo Tenno Memorialas“, «Мемориал Георга Тенно») representatives of the „Vilnius Bodybuilding School“ took all first places. The contest was organized by the „Soul of Estonia Bodybuilding“ INNAR MARDO (Иннар Мардо). At that competition only Estonian OLEV ANNUS won this hight category against Russian monster VLADIMIR DUBININ(Владимир Дубинин). Then the Over All Champion became a student of CESLAV TAMULEVICH legendary PRANAS MURAUSKAS (ПранасМураускас). World bodybuilding magazines wrote about this many times, including themagazines of the Weider brothers. CESLAV TAMULEVICH trained many famous U.S.S.R. bodybuilders and most of them participated at the historical „Amber Prix International“ (1968-2020) „Gintarinis prizas“, „Янтарный приз») bodybuilding contest. INTERNATIONAL AWARD REACHED IT‘S HEROE. On September 28, 2020 at the Headquarters of the Parliament Republic Lithuania for the social work done CESLAV TAMULEVICH was announced about the Great International Award. Right after it the delegates of the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International Federation (World Fitness federation, World Body Building Federation) left the Parliament to present CESLAV TAMULEVICH the International Honour Silver Medal. For many years on CESLAV TAMULEVICH lives and is under the doctor‘s care in a small city hospital. INFORMATION.

WORLD BODYBUILDING HISTORY. 1989. DOPING. FIRST OFFICIAL U.S.S.R. BODYBUILDING CHAMPIONSHIP. THE BEGINNING. From 1973 bodybuilding sport was prohibited and prosecuted in the Socialist World. In 1987 the Official U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation was established. The federation was recognized by the U.S.S.R. Sport Ministry (Goskomsport; Госкомспорт С.С.С.Р.). In 1988 the first official recognized U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Cup was held in Leningrad City (today St. Peterburg). The Over All Champion was Lithuanian VIKTORAS JUCYS. All winners had to participate at the World Championship in Australia. Unfortunatelly due to the intrigues of the General Secretary of the U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS Lithuanian bodybuilders VIKTORAS JUCYS and SAULIUS MISEVICHUS (Saulius Misevicius) could not go and participate at the World Championship. DOPING. 1989 U.S.S.R. BODYBUILDING CHAMPIONSHIP. HOW TO BECOME A CHAMPION. The 1989 U.S.S.R. bodybuilding championship in St. Peterburg was full of intrugues too. The winners had right to be included into the U.S.S.R. bodybuilding team to participate at the World Championship in Paris (France). Also they had to receive respectfull names of the „U.S.S.R. Sport Master“ („Мастер спорта С.С.С.Р“.). Suddenly a day before the contest bodybuilders received definite rumour information about the coming doping control. Most of the best bodybuilders decided not to participate at the event. Today it is evident that this was organized by a number of organizers and trainers who spread the rumours about the doping. But why everybody believed them. Especially when the President of the U.S.S.R. bodybuilding federation was VASILIJ CAIKOVSKIJ(ВасилийЧайковский) who was a high official at the U.S.S.R. Doping Control Institutions. When many best bodybuilders did not participated their athletes took high places and became the champions. Only after the competition everybody heard that there will be no doping control at all. INFORMATION. More detailed information on the Global International Site www.wff.lt, see forum topics.

WORLD BODYBUILDING HISTORY. ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS. WORLD BODYBUILDING ENCYCLOPEDIA. Today the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) International unites 138 Country – Members and organizes nearly 60 annual Amateur and Professional International Events World Wide. Looking from the juridical point of view the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International is no doubt the Real World Bodybuilding Leader. Crowning it‘s 50 years of International Bodybuilding activities, the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. works on the Unique Global International Bodybuilding Project - the „World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia“ («Энциклопедиявсемирногокультуризма», “Pasaulio kultūrizmo enciklopedija”). There will be four books of the Encyclopedia. The first book will cover period of time from the old times to 1973. There will be hundreds of sport biographies of the important International Persons. One of them is Lithuanian ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS (1947-1998). ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS – NEGATIVE BODYBUILDING HEROE. As a bodybuilding organizer ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS started working in 1973. Then during the meeting in Kaunas city he organized the overthrow of the President National Bodybuilding Federation of Lithuania JUOZAS JUSEVICHUS. JUOZAS JUSEVICHUS was one of the bodybuilding pioneers in the U.S.S.R. and Lithuania. 1979. RUINED INTERNATIONAL CONTEST „U.S.S.R. – CZECHOSLOVAKIA“. During the time of the political prohibition and prosecution of bodybuilding sport in the Socialist Countries still some contests we managed to do with great efforts. In 1979 ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS ruined the International Contest „U.S.S.R. – Czechoslovakia“. This competition was prepared by DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS and a number of the Bodybuilding Chairmen of Czechoslovakia – the President of the National Federation VOJTECH FIALA and his assistants FRANTISHEK BULVA and IVAN MACH. This would be the first time when the U.S.S.R. bodybuilders will cross the U.S.S.R. country boarder that was closed due to the above mentioned bodybuilding prohibition. After the first visit of DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS to Czechoslovakia, their bodybuilding Chairmen addressed GENADIJ BALDIN(ГеннадийБалдин) in Moscow. GENADIJ BALDIN was one of the five Chairmen of the in 1968 established U.S.S.R. bodybuilding federation which stopped working in 1973 after bodybuildin prohibition. GENADIJ BALDIN answered the Czechslovakians that he left bodybuilding activities. He wrote that there are several still working bodybuilding organizers in Baltic countries whom they can contact easily. Only they dared to go on working during the years of prohibition of bodybuilding (letters were presented to us by another one of the five Chairmen of the U.S.S.R. bodybuilding federation VALERIJ KORESHKOV (Валерий Корешков) and now they are kept in the archieves of the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International). The preparation for the contest „U.S.S.R. – Czechoslovakia“ took four years. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS visited Czechoslovakia in 1975 and 1977. A number of meeings with Czechoslovakia bodybuilding leaders were made. Also he met famous trainers and bodybuilders there. The intensive correspondence was done as well. The U.S.S.R. bodybuilders needed visas to reach another countries. Finally the needed official documents from Czechoslovakia reached DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS had nothing to do with the competition „U.S.S.R. – Czechoslovakia“ and he was not included to the delegation to Czechoslovakia. That was the reason that ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS started his intrugues and ruined the visit. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS always was in touch with many World Bodybuilding Leaders. In 1978 he visited Varzszawa „Herkules“ (Poland) bodybuilding gym. Polish organizers planned to make an International Contest in 1979. They gave DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS official invitiation for the U.S.S.R. team to participate at the event. After the above mentioned intriques of ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS did not visit the Polish contest himself. He gave the official invitation to Poland to Estonia Bodybuilding Chairman INNAR MARDO.INNAR MARDO took the best U.S.S.R. bodybuilder Estonian OLEV ANNUS to Poland and he became the Over All Champion there (documents about all mentioned events are kept at the archieves of the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International). 1979. REMEIKA WAS FIRST BODYBUILDER PROSECUTED BY KALINAUSKAS. In 1979 over 120 kilograms weighing successful Lithuanian bodybuilder from Klaipeda City ALBERTAS REMEIKA was preparing to participate at the „Georg Tenno Memorial“ in Estonia. He just finished successful participations at the „Amber Prix Interbational“ and a contest in Kaunas City. Due to the fights inside National Lithuania bodybuilding federation ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS addressed the President of Estonia bodybuilding federation INNAR MARDO and forced him to prohibit participation at the „Georg Tenno Memorial“ of ALBERTAS REMEIKA. So INNAR MARDO did as ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS asked. 1981. OLEV ANNUS LOST A CONTEST DUE TO POLITICAL REASONS. In 1981 in Lithuanian Klaipeda City was held the most important U.S.S.R. bodybuilding contest of the year – the „Amber Prix International“ („Gintarinis Prizas“, „Янтарный приз»). During this contest the General Secretary of the U.S.S.R. bodybuilding federation ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS organized the defeat of OLEV ANNUS. The political powers of the U.S.S.R. knew that OLEV ANNUS was on the way to emigrante to Finland and they did not like this. How it could happen that the best U.S.S.R. bodybuilder runs away from the country? The defeat of OLEV ANNUS was organized through ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS. Before the competition ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS gathered the judges and strictly informed them the „how to judge“. OLEV ANNUS lost his win to another athlete. After the 1981 „Amber Prix International“ competition OLEV ANNUS protested and wrote letters to the bodybuilding magazines of various countries, but it changed nothing. Defeat is defeat... INTRIQUES WITH GUSEV AND BUCHINSKAS. Due to the fights with ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS inside Lithuania bodybuilding organization the Champion of the „Amber Prix International“ JURIJ GUSEV (Юрий Гусев) and his trainer were planing to participate in Estonia at the International „Georg Tenno Memorial“ („Мемориал Георга Тенно», „Georgo Tenno Memorialas“) on their own. Then ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS took efforts to prohibit the participation of JURIJ GUSEV.DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS spoke with the Estonia Bodybuilding Chairman INNAR MARDO(1946-2002 г., ИннарМардо, Inaras Mardo) and received his official permition for JURIJ GUSEV to participate. After this JURIJ GUSEV participated at the „Georg Tenno Memorial“ and became the Junior Over All Champion. Exactly the same situation happened with another Champion of the „Amber Prix International“ Lithuanian ROLANDAS BUCHINSKAS. Again ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS prohibited him to participate in Estonia. Again DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS spoke with INNAR MARDO and received his permition for ROLANDAS BUCHINSKAS to participate. Again ROLANDAS BUCHISKAS became the Junior Over All Champion of the „Georg Tenno Memorial“. 1981. KALINAUSKAS SUPPORTS OVERTHROW IN ESTONIA BODYBUILDING. Multiple intriques done by the enemies inside the National Estonia bodybuilding federation made Estonia bodybuilding leader INNAR MARDO to leave the federation. By the way, Lithuanians were not very happy of the strong Estonia bodybuilding and helped the enemies of INNAR MARDO in their dirty works. The Lithuanians were led by ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS and some officials from Kaunas City. Especially big fight against INNAR MARDO was right after the tenth „Georg Tenno Memorial“. But after this happening no one Estonia bodybuilding organizer ever reached the highness of the work done by INNAR MARDO. 1988. INTRIQUES STOPPED PARTICIPATION AT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP IN AUSTRALIA. In 1988 history with the intriques of ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS was repeated. In 1987 the Official U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation was established. Due to the efforts of the famous weightlifting Olympic Champion JURIJ VLASOV (Юрий Власов) the federation was recognized by the U.S.S.R. Ministry of Sport (Goskomsport; Госкомспорт С.С.С.Р.). According to the rules all category winners of the first Official U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Cup were included to the National Team to participate at the 1988 World Championship in Australia. Among the champions were two Lithuanians: VIKTORAS JUCYS (Over All Champion) and category winner SAULIUS MISEVICHUS. As before the General Secretary of the U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS was not included to the delegation which participated in Australia. For this reason ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS did not give the passports for VIKTORAS JUCYS and SAULIUS MISEVICIUS. Both of them worked on preperation for several months and finally at the airport did not receive passports and could not leave to the World Championship. ON THE KNEES U.S.S.R. BODYBUILDING FEDERATION GENERAL SECRETARY. Just before the meeting of DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS and the President of the I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) federation BEN WEIDER a meeting of a number of the U.S.S.R. bodybuilding organizers had happened. It was in a hotel of Leningrad (now St. Peterburg). At this meeting participated DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS, the U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation General Secretary ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS, ALEKSANDRAS NOVIKOVAS, RAMUTIS KAIRAITIS (both Officials of the U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation) and bodybuilding organizer and today‘s famous Lithuania photo artist ALGIMANTAS ALEKSANDRAVICIUS and the best U.S.S.R. bodybuilder at that time VIKTORAS JUCYS. Learned about the coming meeting of DSc. EDMUDAS DAUBARAS with BEN WEIDER,ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS insisted that he is intending to come with him too. Then DSc.EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS refused to take him as he did not want to have any problems from ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS with the U.S.S.R. secret services. During the meeting at the Leningrad hotel DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS listed „bad deals“ of the ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS that he did in previous years. Main “bad deals” were as follows: in 1979 ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS ruined International contest ”U.S.S.R. versus Czechoslovakia” and in 1988 he ruined participation of a number of the best U.S.S.R. bodybuilders at the World Championship in Australia. Also DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS reminded the prohibition of JURIJ GUSEV and ROLANDAS BUCINSKAS to participate at the “Georg Tenno Memorial” competitions in Estonia and some other intrigues of ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS. Then in front of all participants of the meeting ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS accepted his fault and started crying and knelt on the knees begging to forget those things. INFORMATION.

“ifbb.ltu Teisėjavimas kultūrizmo varžybose Gegužės 21 d., 05:40 · KARŠTAS KOMENTARAS / 8 Kultūrizmo „dievai“ ginkluojasi...švirkštais ir naujų įstatų „paniatkėmis“. Nors besivadovaujantieji stereotipais daugelis kultūrizmą priskirtų prie labiausiai „chemizuotų“ užsiėmimų, argumentų turi ir galvojantys kitaip. Dopingo kontrolės procedūra – vienas jų. Pastaroji Lietuvos kultūrizmo ir kūno rengybos federacijoje, kaip ir jos motininėje įmonėje – tarptautinėje IFBB – jau seniai nebėra kažkoks ypatingas reiškinys. Dopingo testai vykdomi jau ne vieną dešimtį metų, o minimos federacijos yra vienintelės kultūrizmo organizacijos, kurių varžybose lankosi dopingo kontrolieriai. Tokio vizito būta ir 2021-ųjų balandį Kėdainiuose vykusiame šalies kultūrizmo čempionate, kur buvo paimti keli mėginiai. Atrodytų, jog visa tai jau virto paprasta rutinine procedūra. Tiesa, ją paįvairina nebent vienas-kitas nutikimas, kai, pasirodžius Lietuvos Antidopingo agentūros kontrolieriams, ne kuris atletas atsisakydavo atlikti testą ar bandydavo „dingti“ iš varžybų. Suprantama, susilaukdavo sankcijų, kaip kad ir teigiamo testo (iš šlapimo mėginio) atvejais. Tačiau tikros sumaišties įnešė vienose Lietuvos kultūrizmo ir kūno rengybos federacijos varžybose Tauragėje pasirodę ne šalies Antidopingo agentūros specialistai, o varžybose budėjusi tauragiškė medikė. Mat pastaroji, net nesuabejojusi savo „įgaliojimais“ (?), švirkštu atliko „dopingo procedūrą“ - kraujo mėginio paėmimą. Tiesa, tai vyko ne jos, o vieno iš varžybų teisėjų ir organizatorių iniciatyva. Gal ir nevertėtų rašyti apie tai, jei savo laiku būtų padarytos atitinkamos išvados ir sprendimai. Kai šito nebuvo, žinia, situacija visada gali pasikartoti... Tuomet kraujo „testui“ buvo pasirinktas nepilnametis (!?) sportininkas, kurio treneris, turintis bemaž 20 metų dalyvavimo varžybose ir ne vienos dopingo kontrolės procedūros patirtį, sakė supratęs, kad tokie veiksmai – neteisėti. Bandęs protestuoti, bet galiausiai grasinant, kad jam nesutikus bus „tikrinami“ visi klubo atletai, nusileido ir neužkardė šio „dopingo kontrolės“ eksperimento. Jokio lydinčio dokumento po „testo“ irgi nebuvo gauta. Po kelių savaičių treneriui pranešta, jog „viskas gerai“ – nieko draudžiamo nerasta. Atleto trenerio bandymas federacijos Valdyboje iškelti ir svarstyti šį klausimą, apčiuopiamų rezultatų irgi nedavė, nes nesugebėta (greičiau – net nenorėta (?!) išsiaiškinti, ar tokie veiksmai atitinka dopingo kontrolės procedūros aprašą ir taisykles. Galiausiai „įjungus durniuką“ visa tai buvo „numuilinta“... Kultūrizmo bendruomenės nariai citavo ir viešus tokių „dopingo testų” iniciatoriaus žodžius, kad „ant dopingo bus tikrinami visi, kurie uždavinės klausimus”….Užsiminta, jog ir Lietuvos antidopingo agentūroje turima „savų žmonių“, ir kad žinoma iš kokio numerio buvo skambinama į agentūrą...Ir išties, norėdami sužinoti, kaip visa tai dera su teisiniais dalykais, treneriai skambino į LAA, tačiau reakcijos iš agentūros...nebuvo. Girdint panašias, prisipažinsiu, skambančias fantasmagoriškai, istorijas, beliko sužinoti, kaip tokią Tauragėje vykusią „dopingo kontrolės procedūrą“ reglamentuoja Lietuvos antidopingo agentūros dokumentai, kurių kaip ir privalu laikytis Lietuvos kultūrizmo ir kūno rengybos federacijai. Ir ką sako antidopingo kodekso taisyklės. Taip pat - kaip agentūroje dirbantys profesionalai vertina tokias Federacijoje užgimstančias iniciatyvas? Lakoniškas LAA direktorės, nieko nežinojusios apie tokius „dopingo tyrimus“, atsakymas bylojo, jog svarbiausia dopingo procedūroje yra du dalykai: akredituoti specialistai ir Pasaulinės antidopingo agentūros sertifikuota įranga. Jei šito nėra, kaip kad ir šiuo atveju, tai apie jokius legalius veiksmus negali būti nė kalbos. Tai - paprasčiausia savivalė! Aiškiau nebūna. Tačiau matant, kaip federacijoje buvo „sureaguota“ į tokį rimtą incidentą, nebėra ir abejonių valdybos narių nekompetencija bei neprofesionalumu. Mat šis į jokius rėmus netelpantis atvejas nebuvo ne tik kad deramai išnagrinėtas, bet ir atitinkamai įvertintas!? Kodėl etikos standartus visiems peršančiai federacijai pakeliui su tokiais saviveiklininkais, besivadovaujančiais savo „paniatkėmis“? Nes kai nedaromos išvados, tai pati valdyba, nors ir bando (demagogiškai) deklaruoti kažkokius reputacijos, etikos ar profesionalumo standartus, tampa „vieno artisto teatro“ bendrininke! Gal atsakymas – tiesiog paviršiuje: elgiamasi kaip „šeima“, kur vienas dangsto kitą. Žinia, kad peržengus vertybinį Rubikoną ir taip įrodžius ištikimybę, susaistai save nuožniomis taisyklėmis. Pagrindinė jų yra susijusi su lojalumu pagal „savas-svetimas“ kodą: kas ne „šeimoje“, tas – priešas. Gi „šeimos“ žmonės – neliečiami, kaip ir naujienos apie juos – tik arba „geros“, arba „gražios“. Todėl ir nebestebina, jog vietoje reiklumo sau užsiimama kitokiais „rimtais“ reikalais: bausmių dalinimu už pasakytą „neteisingą“, kritišką ar išprovokuotą išsprūdusį žodį, įžeistą „karalienišką“ savimeilę ir pan. Tada ir visa kita atrodo kaip neverta dėmesio „smulkmė”, o esant garantuotam „šeimos“ pritarimui ir nebaudžiamumui, ne kurie kultūrizmo „dievai“ jau nesibodi ginkluotis…švirkštais. Po tokios dvigubų standartų dozės su „nepastebėtu“ rąstu savo akyje, atėjo ir federacijos įstatų eilė, bandant ypatingos skubos tvarka, be atitinkamų argumentuotų išaiškinimų ir išdiskutuotų formuluočių, prastumti naują federacijos įstatų redakciją. Taip siekiant įteisinti „paniatkes“, padėsiančias galutinai užčiaupti bei išguiti nepriklausančius „šeimai“. Jau vien ko vertas „perliukas“, kai dėl narystės federacijoje reikės „rekomendacijų“. Taip desperatiškai bandoma kurti užtvaras naujiems galimai „nelojaliems“. Tuo pat metu tęsiant, kaip ir anksčiau, bandymus išeliminuoti iš organizacijos nepatogius vadovybei asmenis, tam pasitelkiant „krislo“ kitų akyse bei „nelojalumo“ įrodymų paieškas ir taip siekiant vieno - bet kokia kaina išsilaikyti valdžioje. Tuo pat metu pradeda lįsti ir finansiniai interesai. Akivaizdu: trūksta elementaraus suvokimo, jog tik demokratiniu būdu išsakant ir keičiantis nuomonėmis, išklausant ir priimant kritiką, sutarimu ir kompromisų paieška, o ne „karų“ kurstymu galima mažinti priešpriešą bei susiskaldymą. Ir taip visiems kartu judėti pirmyn. Kai prasmė – noras rasti susitarimą neaštrinant santykių. Dabar vietoje šito – „putinšenko“ ideologija grįstos kreivų veidrodžių karalystės kūrimas, kur tylėjimas, baimė ir nuolankumas – siekiamybė, kaip ir akcijos prieš kitaip mąstančius (t.y. nelojalius), juodieji sąrašai, „banai“ socialiniuose tinkluose, asmeniškumai, kompromato rinkimas, spaudimas ir kitos panašios priemonės. Juokaujama, jog jei jau ne kurios „užsikompleksavusios moterėlės užsiraukė – tai čia visam likusiam gyvenimui“? Sakoma, jog norint pamatyti tikrąjį veidą, duok žmogui paragauti valdžios ir (ar) pinigų. Būtent tokios transformacijos dabar stebimos federacijoje. Žinia, jog mus visur lydi pasirinkimai. Tačiau ar šiandien pasirinktas toks federacijos veikimo modelis jau neprimena juodojo humoro komedijos „Zero“ veikėjų, persirengusių iš po skverno nusipirktomis policininkų uniformomis ir taip įvedinėjančių savo „tvarką bei taisykles”. Pasirinkimą, ar jiems pakeliui su panašių „vertybių“ propaguotojais, visada turi ir federacijos nariai. Arūnas Petraitis, 2021 05 20”.
