Studying the characteristics of training physical education specialists in different historical periods is a relevant problem in modern pedagogy. The effectiveness of physical education has always depended on the availability and qualifications of physical education instructors. The study of the first decades after the establishment of Soviet power in our country is of significant scientific and practical interest, as this period laid the foundation for the development of a system for training qualified personnel for the sports industry. The aim of the study is to identify the organizational and pedagogical characteristics of training national personnel for physical education in Crimea in the 1920s and 1930s. General theoretical and historical-pedagogical research methods were used (historical-retrospective, problem-chronological, and content analysis of written sources). The main sources for studying this issue are the documents of the Republican Committee for Physical Education and Sports under the Council of People's Commissars of the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic from 1920 to 1941, some of which were first introduced into scientific circulation. The results of the conducted study have shown that In the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, as a multinational republic, one of the directions of the government policy of "indigenization" was to increase attention to the training of national personnel, including for the field of physical education and sports. These trends manifested themselves in attempts to train physical education instructors at national courses, allocating quotas for representatives of the indigenous nationality to study at the Crimean Physical Education College, and sending them to physical education institutes. Despite certain success in training national sports personnel in the Crimean ASSR, their number significantly lagged behind the target indicators and failed to provide physical education in national languages and the widespread development of national sports. The theoretical significance of the work lies in obtaining previously unknown data on the characteristics of training national physical education specialists in the Crimean ASSR, which contributes to a more complete and profound understanding of the region's development. The practical significance of the work is due to the possibility of critical reflection and borrowing of positive experience for further development and improvement of the modern system of training instructors in the field of physical education and sports.
