Czech Republic - Sokol Rally in Prague
A rally to promoting public exercise as a way to stimulate national self importance (through organised gymnastic and athletic demonstrations - usually mass-participation). The Sokol (which translates as Falcon ) arose as the first Czech Gymnastic organisation in the 1860s. Between the First and Second World Wars the organisation grew to have a million members. The Sokol programmes were organised to have mass appeal across all strata of Czech society and across all age groups

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Sokol Rally in Prague, a mass-participation event promoting public exercise and national pride in the Czech Republic. The Sokol, which translates to Falcon, was the first Czech gymnastic organization, established in the 1860s. By the interwar period, it had grown to have over a million members, making it a powerful cultural force across all strata of Czech society and age groups. The image showcases a sea of red-clad participants, their fists clenched in defiance and determination, standing strong on a sandy beach. The atmosphere is one of historical significance and cultural fraternalism, as the Sokol movement sought to instill a sense of Czechoslovakian nationalism and patriotism through organized gymnastic and athletic demonstrations. The participants, dressed in loin cloths and sandals, embody the enduring strength and courage of the Czech people. Their vigorous calisthenics and gymnastic exercises were not only a testament to their physical health and endurance but also a symbol of their collective spirit and resilience. The Sokol Rally in Prague was a powerful display of public participation and a testament to the organization's commitment to promoting a healthy and strong society. This historical photograph, with its striking imagery and powerful symbolism, serves as a reminder of the Sokol's role in shaping Czechoslovakian history and fostering a sense of national pride and self-importance.
