Based on the analysis of previously unexplored archival documents, the features of the development of physical culture and sports in higher educational institutions of the Crimea in the late 30s — early 40s of the 20th century are considered. Research has established that by the end of the 30s of the twentieth century, departments were formed and staffed by qualified teachers and instructors in higher educational institutions of the Crimea, which combined physical and military training of students. During this period, it was possible to achieve almost complete coverage of first- and second-year students with compulsory academic physical education classes and the inclusion of most students in sports and mass work at university physical education collectives. The sports facilities of the institutes have been significantly improved and the number of student sports sections has been increased. Student sports teams and physical education collectives occupied leading positions in the Crimean ASSR in terms of sports results and mass sports work by the early 40s of the 20th century.
