Foundation

See also: Nikolai Starostin

In the early days of Soviet football many government agencies such as the police, army, and railroads created their own clubs. FC Presnya Moscow (ФК "Пресня" Москва is a Russian football club based in Moscow. Nikolai Starostin ( 26 February 1902 &ndash 17 February 1996) was a Russian footballer and Ice hockey player In 1921 the Moscow Sport Circle (Moscow sport club of Krasnopresnensky district) (Russian: МКС, Московский кружок спорта), later named Krasnaya Presnya was formed by Ivan Artemev and involved Starostin, especially in its football team. [4] The team grew, building a stadium, supporting itself from ticket sales and playing matches across Russia. [5] 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. [6] 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. [7] It took its name from the Roman slave rebel and athlete Spartacus

It became part of the Spartak Sports Society during its establishment on April 19, 1935

Soviet period

In 1935 Starostin proposed the name Spartak that was derived from Spartacus, a gladiator-slave who led a rebellion against Rome, and was inspired by eponymous book by Raffaello Giovagnoli. Spartacus (c 109 BC-71 BC according to Roman historians was a Slave who became the leader (or possibly one of several leaders in the unsuccessful slave Gladiators (gladiatores "swordsmen" or "one who uses a sword" from la ''gladius'' "sword" were professional fighters in Ancient Rome who fought Ancient Rome was a Civilization that grew out of a small agricultural community founded on the Italian Peninsula as early as the 10th century BC Starostin is also credited with the creation of the Spartak logo. ^[2] The same year the club became a part of newly created Spartak sports society.

Modern period

A new page in the club’s history began when the USSR collapsed and its championship ceased to exist. In the newly created Russian league, Spartak, led by coach and president Oleg Romantsev dominated and won all but one title between 1992 and 2001. Oleg Ivanović Romantsev (Олег Иванович Романцев (born 4 January 1954 in Gavrilovskoye, Ryazan Oblast) is a Soviet Year after year the team also represented Russia in the Champions League. See also List of European Cup and UEFA Champions League winners The UEFA Champions League, which evolved from the European Champion Clubs' Cup is a seasonal club

Problems began in the new century. Several charizmatic players (Ilya Tsymbalar and Andrey Tikhonov among others) left the club as a result of conflict with Romantsev. Ilya Vladimirovich Tsymbalar (Илья Владимирович Цымбаларь (born June 17, 1969 in Odessa, Ukrainian SSR) is a former Andrey Tikhonov (Андрей Валерьевич Тихонов (born October 16, 1970 in Korolyov, Moscow Oblast) is a Russian football Later Romantsev sold his stock to oil magnate Andrei Chervichenko, who in 2003 became the club president. Year 2003 ( MMIII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. 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. ^[4]

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. 2005 was marked by a greatest success in the Russian club football so far as CSKA Moscow won the UEFA Cup. Aleksandrs Starkovs or Aleksandr Starkov (born July 26, 1955 in Madona, Latvia) is a Latvian Russian FC Rubin Kazan (Футбольный клуб Рубин Казань is a Russian football club based in the city of Kazan ( Tatarstan

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. Dmitri Anatolievich Alenitchev (Дмитрий Аленичев (born 20 October 1972 in Velikie Luki, Russia) is a former professional Vladimir Fedotov (Владимир Григорьевич Федотов (born January 18, 1943 in Moscow) is a former Soviet football

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 1934, and for many years the team was under patronage of one of the Moscow food factories which dealt with meat products. Year 1934 ( MCMXXXIV) was a Common year starting on Monday (link will display full 1934 calendar of the Gregorian calendar.

One of the most favourite slogans of both the fans and players is "Who are we? We're The Meat!" "Meats by Ste'

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. See also CSKA Moscow PFC CSKA Moskva (Профессиональный футбольный клуб ЦСКА Москва or Professional Football Club — Central One of the most celebrated rivalries is "Spartak-Dinamo", with neighbours Dinamo Moscow. Dynamo Moscow (Dinamo Moscow Dinamo Moskva Russian: Динамо Москва) is a Russian football club based in Moscow. 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 stadiums. Another rivalry was lost with the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR was a constitutionally Socialist state that existed in Eurasia from 1922 to 1991 This was with Dynamo Kyiv, one of the leaders of the USSR championship but now playing in the Ukrainian championship.
