Summary/Abstract: The founding of the Sokol (Falcon) of the Yugoslav Monarchy was one of the measures introduced by King Alexander Karadjordjević in an attempt to reform cultural life in Yugoslavia after the enforcement of the dictatorship on 6 January. This act caused a thorough reorganisation of gymnastic organisations, without affecting sport. In the paper, the author describes this reorganisation, which took place throughout the year of 1929, as well as the reactions it caused.
