History
Soviet period
The State Committee for Sports and Physical Education of the USSR (), abbreviated as Sportkomitet SSSR (), was established in 1954 as the only governmental body responsible for the management of sports in the Soviet Union. The committee was a result of the merging of all the sports unions and national teams into one organization.
Post-Soviet
The State Committee for Sports and Physical Education of Russia (), abbreviated as Goskomitet po FkiT () or Goskomsport Rossii () was created in 1991. It was the central governing body for Russian sports. The head of the committee was referred to as the Sports Minister. The committee was a federal executive organization that was responsible for the coordination and development of sports in Russia.
Since 2002
The Federal Agency for Sports and Body Culture () was created in 2002 as the successor to the previous sports committee. It was dissolved on October 7, 2008, to be re-established with its current name.
