History

While there was a national DOSAAF organization in the former Soviet Union, the Byelorussian SSR had its own organization, called DOSAAF BSSR. In October, 1991, the national organization collapsed and was renamed the Belarusian Defense Sports Technical Society (Russian: Белорусское оборонное спортивно-техническое общество). The BelOCTO would later become the DOSAAF RB, based on a decree by the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko.
