FC Spartak Moscow
Encyclopedia
FC Spartak Moscow is a Russian football
club from Moscow. Having won 12 Soviet championships
(second only to Dynamo Kyiv) and 9 of 19 Russian championships
they are one of the country's most successful clubs. They have also won the Soviet Cup
10 times and the Russian Cup 3 times. Spartak have also reached the semi-finals of all three European club competitions.
Historically the club was a part of the Spartak Moscow sports society
. Other teams in the society include ice hockey
club HC Spartak Moscow
. Currently, the club is not connected with Spartak Moscow sports society and is an independent privately-owned organisation. They are nicknamed "Meat" (Russian: "мясо", "myaso").
. So many statesmen saw in the wins of their teams the superiority over the opponents patronizing other teams. Almost all the teams had such kind of patrons: «Dinamo»
– police, CSKA – army. «Spartak», created by trade union public organization considered to be «people's team».
In 1921 the Moscow Sport Circle (Moscow sport club of Krasnopresnensky district) ({[lang|ru|МКС, Московский кружок спорта}}), later named Krasnaya Presnya was formed by Ivan Artemyev and involved Nikolai Starostin
, especially in its football team. The team grew, building a stadium, supporting itself from ticket sales and playing matches across Russia. As part of a 1926 reorganisation of football in the USSR, Starostin arranged for the club to be sponsored by the food workers union and the club moved to the 13,000 seat Tomskii Stadium and was known as Pishcheviki . The team changed sponsors repeatedly over the following years as it competed with Dinamo Moscow
, whose 35,000 seat Dinamo Stadium lay close by.
As a high-profile sportsman, Starostin came into close contact with Alexander Kosarev, secretary of the Komsomol
(Communist Union of Youth) who already had a strong influence on sport and wanted to extend it. In November 1934, with funding from Promkooperatsiia, Kosarev employed Starostin and his brothers to develop his team to make it more powerful. Again the team changed its name, this time to Spartak Moscow.
The club founders, four Starostin brothers, played a big role in the formation of the team. The Starostins played for the red-whites in the thirties but right before the war they were subjected to repression
as the leaders of the most hated team by the state authorities. Elder brother Nikolai Starostin wrote in his books that he had survived in the State Prison System due to his participation in football and «Spartak». After the political rehabilitation
, in 1954, he returned to the team but to another position, the one of team's manager.
, a gladiator
-slave who led a rebellion against Rome
, and was inspired by eponymous book by Raffaello Giovagnoli. Starostin is also credited with the creation of the Spartak logo. The same year the club became a part of newly created Spartak sports society
.
Czech
manager Antonin Fivebr
is credited as the first head coach of Spartak, though he worked as a consultant in several clubs simultaneously. In 1936 the Soviet Top League
was established. The first Championship was won by Dynamo Moscow
, while in the second one held the same year Spartak came first. Before World War II
Spartak gained two more titles.
During 1950-s Spartak together with Dynamo Moscow
dominated in the Soviet Top League
. When the USSR national football team
won gold medals at the Melbourne Olympics
, it consisted largely of Spartak players. Spartak captain Igor Netto
was the captain of the national team from 1954 to 1963. In the 1960s, Spartak won two league titles, but by mid-60s Spartak was no more regarded as a leading Soviet club. The club was even less successful in the 1970s and in 1976 Spartak was relegated into the lower league
.
During the following season, the stadium was still full as the club's fans stayed with the team during its time in the lower division. Konstantin Beskov
, who became the head coach (ironically, as a footballer Beskov made his name playing for Spartak's main rivals, Dynamo Moscow
), introduced several young players, including Rinat Dasayev and Georgi Yartsev
. Spartak came back the next year and won the title in 1979, beating Dynamo Kyiv
and thanks to Spartak supporters, the period is considered to be the start of the modern-style fans' movement in the Soviet Union.
On 20 October 1982, disaster struck
during the UEFA Cup
match between Spartak and HFC Haarlem
. Scores of people were trampled. The official number of deaths is 66 but many people believe this number to be significantly higher.
In 1989 Spartak won the its last USSR Championship defeating 2–1 the main rival Dynamo Kyiv in the closing round. Spartak's striker Valery Shmarov
scored the "golden" free kick
with almost no time left. The next season Spartak reached European Cup
semifinal consequently eliminating Napoli
(by penalties) and Real Madrid
(with 3–1 away victory) but losing to Olympique de Marseille
.
.
Problems began in the new century. Several charismatic players (Ilya Tsymbalar and Andrey Tikhonov
among others) left the club as a result of conflict with Romantsev. Later Romantsev sold his stock to oil magnate Andrei Chervichenko, who in 2003 became the club president. The two were soon embroiled in a row that would continue until Romantsev was sacked in 2003 with the club suffering several sub-par seasons until Chervichenko finally sold his stock in 2004. The new ownership made a number of front office changes with the aim of returning the team to the top of the Russian Premier League.
In the 2005 season
, Spartak, led by Aleksandrs Starkovs
, finished 2nd in the league following an impressive run to beat Lokomotiv
, Zenit
and Rubin
to the last Champions League place.
Following a mixed start to the 2006 season and public criticism from Dmitry Alenichev, the team's captain and one of its most experienced players, Starkovs left his position to Vladimir Fedotov.
Spartak has been entitled to place a golden star on its badge since 2003 to commemorate winning five Russian championships in 1992, 93, 94, 96 and 97. They have won the championship another four times since 1997.
As of 26 March 2011. Source
One of the most favourite slogans of both the fans and players is "Who are we? We're The Meat!" The other nickname is "Svin'i" ("Pigs"), although, unsurprisingly, this is considered offensive by the team's fans.
. However, this has faded somewhat due to Dinamo's poor performances. Matches against Lokomotiv Moscow
and Zenit St.Petersburg
attract thousands of people as well, almost always resulting in packed stadia.
Another rivalry was lost with the collapse of the Soviet Union
. This was with Dynamo Kyiv, one of the leaders of the USSR championship; since they are now playing in the Ukrainian
championship, they must qualify for UEFA
tournaments to meet each other.
. Currently, the club's home ground is the 5-star Luzhniki Stadium
.
However, the club's new board has recently declared that "Spartak will soon play on their own stadium". The federal government has agreed to give land for the stadium near the Tushino
air field. After a set of delays, actual construction begun in December 2010, immediately after Russia obtained the right to host 2018 FIFA World Cup. The stadium is estimated to be completed in late 2013.
Spartak's reserve squad played professionally as FC Spartak-d Moscow (Russian Second League in 1992–1993, Russian Third Division in 1994–1997) and as FC Spartak-2 Moscow (Russian Second Division
in 1998–2000).

Nickname
The team is usually called "red-and-whites", but among the fans "The Meat" is a very popular nickname. The origins of the nickname belong to the days of the foundation of the club; in the 1920s the team was renamed several times, from "Moscow Sports Club" to "Red Presnya" (after the name of one of the districts of Moscow) to "Pishcheviki" ("Food industry workers") to "Promkooperatsiya" ("Industrial cooperation") and finally to "Spartak Moscow" in 1935, and for many years the team was under patronage of one of the Moscow food factories which dealt with meat products.One of the most favourite slogans of both the fans and players is "Who are we? We're The Meat!" The other nickname is "Svin'i" ("Pigs"), although, unsurprisingly, this is considered offensive by the team's fans.
Rival teams
At present, Spartak's arch rival is CSKA Moscow; although this is a relatively recent rivalry having only emerged in the last twenty years. Seven of ten matches with the largest audience in Russian Premier League (including top three) were Spartak-CSKA derbies.
