Summary/Abstract: The Soviet Union has been a member of the International Olympic Committee since 1951. This membership entitled Soviets sportsmen to participate in the Olympic Games. It is, therefore, interesting to explore the circumstances of the Soviet Union’s access to the IOC to answer the following questions: What was the stance of President Johannes Sigfrid Edström and the IOC members on this matter? What was the position of the USSR within the process of accession to the IOC? The analysis is based on the source material kept in the Archives of the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne, Switzerland.
