History
Rugby was never particularly big in the Soviet Union until the 1960's
when there were discussions about including the sport in the Olympics.
The Soviets, being interested in the dissemination of propaganda and
national prestige through sporting triumpths, started to develp the game
in the USSR by setting up a rugby union and allocating funds to it.
Later, as it became clear that rugby would not become an Olympic sport in
the foreseeable future, funding was reduced, but nonetheless, interest
remained in certain hotspots of the USSR notably certain cities in Russia
(Krasnodar), Georgia (the Georgians claim to have invented game!), Ukraine
and Latvia.
