The Flower of Sentyabrev ‘s Epoch ( 1958–1965 ) [edit ]

The year of 1958 came, and the team formed a share of Class B of the USSR Championship, because of successful performances and the class B expanding. present 1958 is considered to be a class of foundation garment of an up-to-date “ Rubin ”. “ Iskra ”, therefore was the name of a debutant, found itself in the first gear zone of RSFSR Class B, in which chiefly clubs of Povolzhye and Ukraine played. The debut was on 20 April in Kherson. The team lost to local “ Spartak ” 2–4. The writer of the first base goal of “ Iskra ” in USSR championships was Igor Ignatov. The team in that game was : Galimov, Zinnourov, Surkov, Khorkov, Kashurin, Dardymov, Polyakov, Markov, Gelman, Ignatov, Sharipov. In 1958 “ Iskra ” took 14th place, left below only teams of Ulyanovsk and Volzhsky. Lack of experience and much changes in a coach staff adversely affected the game of “ Iskra ”. In 1959 “ Iskra ” was headed by a 50-year-old specialist Nikolay Sentyabrev. Within the adjacent 12 years the mail of a head coach of the team was occupied. Neither before nor after no one could reach that period. Earlier Sentyabrev played for the area of Ivanovo and coached “ Tekstilschik ” ( Ivanovo ). His work did n’t make waiting for results. “ Iskra ” at one stroke made 9 steps up in the tournament table and stopped at the fifth position. In comparison with the previous season much more goals were scored and less balls were missed. Two footballers – a defender Viktor Surkov and a goalkeeper Ilyas Galimov – were included into the list of RSFSR National Squad. thus started the epoch of Sentyabrev, with his name all successes of Kazan football of the 60s are connected. The 1960 season was even more successful. After the first round having alone one frustration from “ Zvezda ” ( Perm ) the kazanners were among the leaders of the zone. But during the second half “ Iskra ” improved and finished 4th. This season is memorable besides by the fact that in June “ Iskra ” visited Poland and played the beginning international matches in its history with polish teams. In 1960, Tsentralnyi stadium was founded. On 21 August 1960 “ Iskra ” played a debut game in a modern arena against Metallurg ( Kamensk-Uralsky ) – 2–1. In 1961 the kazanners again spent the hard beginning one-half of the championship and looked much worse in the second cycle. The gap from the leaders was one distributor point. Amir Toufatoullin, who scored 17 goals in 22 matches. That year “ Iskra ” made its direction to the last 16 of the USSR Cup, where it lost a replay to Dynamo ( Moscow ). future year a future idol of supporters debuted, one of the most highly skilled and resulting strikers in the club history – Viktor Teterkin. In 1962 and 1963 the kazanners took traditional third place. The class of 1964 became the turning-point. The police squad was strengthened with youthful Kazan players Islam Minnibaev and Albert Faizoullin. unsuccessful starting signal of the championship was compensated with 15 matches without a loss in a quarrel at the finish. As a result – second position in the zone and an ability to continue clamber for Class A entrance. But the final round was unfortunate at this time. During the off-season the club ‘s appoint was changed to Rubin. The follow year the team achieved the highest position in that earned run average. The skeleton of the team which had been built several years before already remained permanent : defenders Nikolay Markov, Viktor Surkov, Anatoly Fomin, midfielders Vitaly Golubev and Viktor Novishkov, forwards Viktor Teterkin, Alexey Beryuchevsky and Islam Minnibaev. During the solid season “ Rubin ” being among the leaders of the zone secured second base position and followed familiar room to the Semi-final tournament of the class B strongest teams. In decisive game against “ Sokol ” ( Saratov ) “ Rubin ” has won 2–1 ( Teterkin, Golubev ) and got a ticket to Class A foremost clock time in its history. “ Rubin ” returned to Kazan with silver medals .

The end of Sentyabrev ‘s Epoch ( 1966–1971 ) [edit ]

season 1966 was due to answer the question whether Rubin, a newcomer of Class A, was able to gain a bridgehead and to survive a competition with more feel cabaret. Club coaches counted on the footballers succeeded in the former year. alone three players were added – a goalkeeper Ilyas Galimov returned from Leningrad, and forwards Murad Zadikahvili from Kutaisi and Nikolay Vorobyov from Yoshkar-Ola came. First three games were played away. After a zero attract in Batumi and a passing from “ Kuban ” in Krasnodar the kazanners gained retaliation from “ Spartak ” in Nalchik for the personnel casualty in the final examination of 1965. 2–1 – that was the first gain in Class A. The first goal was scored by Alexey Beryuchevsky. Kazan had to wait for the deluxe hatchway of the season until May, 2. That day 22,000 spectators greeted the gain over “ Dynamo ” from Kirovabad. The only finish was scored by Murad Zadikashvili. In the final table “ Rubin ” stands at the honorable fifth military position. next year of 1967 considerable changes happened in the police squad. The leaders of death years Fomin, Golubev and Novichkov finished to play for the team. “ Rubin ” had to start forming the middle line from the begin. adept Vladimir Savelyev returned home from “ Krylia Sovetov ” ( Kuibyshev ). In the defensive line appeared : Vyacheslav Bulavin who became later celebrated as a musician and a head coach of “ Zenit ” ( Leningrad ), and Gennadiy Klimanov, captain of RSFSR Youth Squad. A resulting striker Nikolay Penzin appeared in the attack. A the final standings “ Rubin ” has raised its position if to compare with the former season, it was the fourth position. In USSR Cup the kazanners succeeded in achieving ⅛ concluding, where they lost to “ Chornomorets ” ( Odessa ) – 1–3. next year of 1968 Kazan club reduced its positions – the fifth place, but some noticeable events occurred during the season. The most brilliantly one of them was a debut of young and strange 19-year-old Viktor Kolotov, captain of USSR National Squad in the future. Viktor has become the only “ Rubin ‘s ” football player who has played for USSR. He scored his beginning goal just in the first base pit against Yugoslavia on 28 October 1970. In general Kolotov has played 55 games and scored 22 goals for the National Team. In the season of 1969 “ Rubin ” was conclusion to change the Second Group of Class A for the First one. At the Second Stage “ Rubin ” in one point left behind the achiever – “ SKA ” ( Khabarovsk ). And the team repeated the achiever of 1967, reached ⅛ final of USSR Cup, where has lost to “ Sudostroitel ” Nikolaev at the extra-time. In 1970 the social organization of the football tournament was modified. United First League was made, and 22 best-of-1969 teams were included. On a legal background “ Rubin ” took his put among them. The debut was April, 11 in Krasnodar ( 0–1 ). After that an outdoor draw followed in Kharkov with “ Metallist ” – 1–1, Viktor Kolotov scored the first gear goal in the First league. late followed several wins. In the season-1970 “ Rubin ” resulted at the 8th put. Hard times came. Viktor Kolotov left for “ Dynamo ” ( Kiev ). Ended their careers experienced Vlasov, Minnibaev and Muravyev. There were many newcomers in the team – 11 players. only 3 of them – Stanislav Cheblukov, Yuri Ibraev and Pavel Zhelanov – were able to consolidate their positions. Besides, the team lost its head coach. Because of state of health Nikolay Sentyabrev has left the club. The season of 1971 the team finished at the final twenty-second placement and has left the First league. come meter to form a new team, which will be able to return a early authority to Kazan football .

White course, black line ( 1972–1977 ) [edit ]

In 1972 “ Rubin ” has been participating in the 5th zone of the Second League, which included chiefly clubs of Povolzhye and Middle Asia. During the whole season the kazanners experienced serious problems in the fire. Frankly speaking, after the 21nd [ clarification needed ] matchday the team had only 14 goals scored ( 5 of them were annulled because 2 teams has left the tournament ). Just to the goal of the season a ray of hope has appeared. Newcomers of the team – a goalkeeper Alexander Ivanov, a midfielder Alexander Mashin and a forward Anatoly Yashin – has fit in the plot successfully. In the end game of the year “ Rubin ” has beat “ Torpedo ” from Togliatii 1–0 and took the seventh position and left the adversary on the 8th one. The season of 1973 was to be more successful. After a year ‘s time interval Murad Zadikashvili has returned from Kutaisi. Three clubhouse has started to change each other in the peak of the league in the fight for the only tag to the Semifinal tournament. These teams were “ Uralmash ” ( Sverdlovsk ), “ Rubin ” and “ Kord ” from Balakovo. Kazanners were the moment ones at the final examination lick. “ Uralmash ” had just 3 points more. In RSFSR Cup, which was held as an alternative to USSR Cup, “ Rubin ” reached Semi-final ( the club ‘s best result in this tournament ), where lost 0–1 to “ Vulkan ” ( Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky ) in an outdoor game. That year ( 1973 ) on May, 1 a 24-year-old masseur Eugeny Golov started to work in “ Rubin ”. From that here and now “ Rubin ” has become an integral contribution of his life. He had passed all steps of a baseball club hierarchy : masseur – doctor – administrator – beginning president of the united states ( since 1990 ) – director ( 1995–99 and since 2005 ). Before the season of 1974 “ Rubin ” has practically lost no players of a senior police squad. It has even strengthened : experienced Alexey Semenov and Vladimir Sergeev came from Dnepropetrovsk, from Baku Renat Kamaletdinov has returned. The begin turned out to be sick, “ Rubin ” was 11th after the beginning half. In June a change of a “ helmsman ” has happened. alternatively of Vladlen Reshitko ex-forward of “ Iskra ” Yuri Markov took the post of a senior passenger car. In the concluding table “ Rubin ” was the 2nd. In a stubborn clamber kazanners could stand up for this position in a semi-final shot in Frunze and in a final examination in Sochi. As a result – an overall 2nd plaza in the Second League and a bye to the First League. In 1975 the team was headed by Boris Batanov from “ Torpedo ” ( Moscow ), a specialist with a name, indeed, he had a success merely as a football player. After the first base half of the year “ Rubin ” was 17th, and Batanov has left a captain ‘s bridge, which was occupied by Yuri Markov again. Kazanners took 13 points in last 8 games and finished on 11th position. The begin of 1976 has encouraged. In the second matchday “ Rubin ” has beat “ Pakhtakor “ ( Tashkent ). The refutation with a goalkeeper Alexander Ivanov could stay the wholly 90 minutes, and in the middle of the second time Oleg Usov has finished one of “ Rubin ‘s ” counter-attacks with an accurate guess. however, after that 21 matches without any win followed. Thanks God, that anti record has been never repeated. As a resultant role – the seventeenth place and a difficultly saved registration in the First League. In 1977 an try to renew a team was undertaken. The changes touched chiefly the defensive line. The coaches refused services of age-specific footballers – Klimanov, Faizullin, Sukharev, Antikhovich. Their positions were taken by talented but not experience even Usenko, Martynov, Sibgatullin and Schavelev. Dzagnidze from “ Kuzbass ” debuted in the fire. The young person was n’t quick to play on a serious level, which was needed for the First Division. Result was the last twentieth place .

The times of stagnation ( 1978–1991 ) [edit ]

In 1978, the organizers of the competitions have identified “ Rubin ” in internationalist 4th zone, where in accession to russian clubs were 13 teams of three republics – Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. Kazan started ailing, taking on a long Georgian-Armenian exit, which consisted of 6 matches, lone 2 points. But lento the team began to build momentum, and, finally, ended the season in 6th rate. The leader of “ Rubin ” attacks became its debutant Sergei Agafonov, invited from Kazan “ Raketa ”. Having scored 22 goals, he set a record of the cabaret for one season. Distinguished, newly scorekeeper and a year later, again hitting the adversary gate 22 times. But it did not help to “ Rubin ”. In the temper of 1979 Kazan set anti-record – 19th stead in the second league. During the season in 23 guest matches had been won only 1 game. In 1980, alternatively of Aleksei Alekseevich Beryuchevskogo, who led the “ Rubin ” in two previous seasons, to the post of principal coach came Valeriy Salnikov. together with him came from Taganrog : goalkeeper Ivan Kikhtenko striker – Sergey Suslin, from Makhachkala midfielder – Anatoly Vetrov. “ Rubin ” was first included in the second base ( the Volga-Urals ) zone of the second league, which became his “ home plate ” for the adjacent 10 years. To the end of the season Kazan came in 10th place, and again left without a head bus. The adjacent undertake to find a desirable mentor for the team finally succeeded in 1981. Credibility, which was enough for the following 7 years ( with a fracture in 1983–84 ), get Vladimir Mikhailov, in past well-known football player of Moscow Torpedo. Mikhailov invited to Rubin striker Vadim Popov, who immediately set to work – 20 goals in his debut temper. At the gate of Gorky ‘s “ Volga ” Vadim scored 4 goals – the second “ poker ”, made by a actor in our team ( beginning in 1958, distinguished Gennady Berezin ). In the final mesa in 1981, Rubin was in fifth put. In the future in 1982 an attempt was made to win in the zone. In a bitter conflict with Chelyabinsk “ Lokomotiv ” Kazan in the end gave the first line to the Ural team. Vadim Popov scored 24 goals, updating the club criminal record for the season. Season-1983 did not become a legitimate sequel of the 1982th, alone a fifth place in the zone. In 1984, Rubin participated tied worse. With the remove Vadim Popov to Omsk Irtysh in the fire appeared insolvable problems. Toothless team military action in the attack was partially offset convinced playing defensive line, led by Kikhtenko and Martynov, so Rubin could not fall below tenth place. The game in attack was fixed in season 1985, when to the team came Vladimir Gavrilov, best scorekeeper of “ Rubin ” in its history. His scoring quality Gavrilov showed in the season-1986, when with 27 balls he became the best scorekeeper of the second base league. We can only guess how things would have developed for “ Rubin ” in the next 1987, if Gavrilov stays in the team. But he decided to try his forte in the first league and moved to the Voronezh “ Fakel ”, and when in fall after the injury he returned to Kazan, the fans saw on the field merely a picket shadow of a formidable striker. Two of the final season of 80-ths did not bring cocksure emotions. Moving up did not make, and Rubin began to sink lower and lower on the standings. In 1988, the team score points, chiefly due to competently organized games in the defensive by the bus Alexei Alexandrovich Semyonov, who replaced Mikhailov. At the end of the season-1989, which Kazan finished on 12th topographic point, to the military post of head coach of “ Rubin ” came one of the oldest and most respected football coaches of the country, honored trainer of Russia – Ivan Zolotukhin. “ Grandfather ” – respectfully called Zolotukhin players and fans. In 1990, before the team set the finish – to get into the “ fender ” league ( intermediate between the first and moment ), for which it was necessity to take plaza not less than the second. After a brilliant season, Kazan scored equal points with Togliatti “ Lada ” and gave her a second argumentation due to a smaller phone number of victories. The trace season, “ Rubin ” make up for all the previous failures. During the Championship from Moscow came a striker Sergei Surov, who together with Vladimir Gavrilov and 20-year-old Oleg Nechaev for three scored 44 goals, making the most formidable telephone line of attack in the zone. Most of all got “ EVM ” from Ruzayevka, which Kazan scored seven unanswered goals ( the biggest victory of the “ Rubin ” in the championships of the USSR ). As a resultant role, the first attack Rubin passed without a single defeat. Unbeaten run was interrupted merely in the 32 round, but by the clock Kazan was unequivocal leader of the tournament. To finish of the backing in 1991, Rubin came first, finishing with dignity “ soviet ” phase of its history .

A mistreat off from sum collapse ( 1992–1995 ) [edit ]

After the collapse of the Soviet Union broke up into separate tournaments and the backing of the Union. The solution is that alternatively of the union “ buffer ” league “ Rubin ” was the foremost league of first base Championship of Russia. In season 1992, it consisted of three territorial zones. Kazan had been included in the central. In winter, from Moscow came the tragic newsworthiness – on 13 February died Ivan Zolotukhin. Died respected by everyone “ Grandfather ” – the homo who succeeded for a short fourth dimension to create in “ Rubin ” a command with a quality – a ruffianly, dogged and self-assured. After Zolotukhin a question coach of Rubin became Alexander Ivchenko, previously worked with Omsk Irtysh. In the off-season left the team : Kalachev Igor, Sergei Surov and who decided to continue a career in Poland, Vladimir Gavrilov. Ivchenko brought from Omsk scorer Marat Mulasheva and midfielder Sergei Osipov, came from the Kirov technically Moiseev. The first game in the championship of Russia on 25 April Rubin lost to Metallurg Magnitogorsk ( 0–1 ). then, in Bashkortostan got its first base victory – over Gastello from Ufa, the entirely goal scored Vadim Potapov. In Kazan, the fans saw their team on 6 May, when in a double-edged uncompromising fight was beaten Chelyabinsk “ Zenit ” ( 3–2 ). FC Rubin Kazan during the season was in the area 5–7 positions. The leadership in the area immediately took KAMAZ, which in the end got the only ticket to the major league. In 1993, “ Rubin ” got a job to take in the tournament of central zone of the first base league plaza no lower than seventh. The reason for this was that from future season the best in the championship-93 teams of three zones were to form a single first league ( the current first class ), in which representatives from the central zone were “ booked ” 7 vacancies. soon after the starting signal of the championship refused to finance the team its head patron CAPO Gorbunov. In June, recently approved in the place of pass coach Victor Avraamovich Lukashenko left “ Rubin ”. The new coach became Mourad Vahtangovich Zadikashvili. Difficult fiscal site was fixed after selling in Volgograd “ Rotor ” team leaders Oleg Nechaev and Rustem Khuzin ( but soon returned to “ Rubin ” till the goal of the season on loan ). In the end the season Kazan finished on 8th place, only losing a point to Nizhnekamsk “ Neftechimik ” and dropped into the second league. The pursue class, 1994, coaches Zadikashvili and Semenov assemble a team literally act by bite. Because of the continuing fiscal problems from the last season in the team left only 6 players : Grishin, Danilin, Ravil, Blagov, Tatarkin and Kamkov, the stay went to early clubs. Rubin had to resort to the services of veterans and young students of urban football. At the begin of the season, the first time in the history of the club did there was no money to go to the future game in Gorodishe and Volzhski. As a consequence, two technical kill of 0–3 and a admonition that in sheath of duplicate failure to appear, the team will be disqualified from the tournament. Later, Kazan for the third base time staying at home, this time ignoring Tula. fortunately, and for this act “ Rubin ” was not disqualified from the backing. One of the keystone games of the temper took stead on 2 October in Yoshkar-Ola. 5 minutes before the final whistle, the only goal was scored by our captain, Rubin Ravil, thereby leaving the local anesthetic “ Druzhba ” in last locate. residence in the moment division was maintained.

Recovering lost ground ( 1996–2002 ) [edit ]

The turning point in the modern history of Rubin Kazan came in 1996, when the patron of the club, Kamil Iskhakrov, became the mayor of Kazan, and helped to improve the fiscal health of the club. In accession, he set up a bipartite goal for the club : to first progress to the first league, and then to the Premier League. With the club finances in decree, Rubin Kazan were able to prepare for the season under more relax circumstances. As question coach, the experience Igor Volchok was hired ; he besides devoted himself to the goal set out by Iskharov. Eighteen newfangled players came to Rubin Kazan, including some who had played for the club previously : Sergey Moiseyev, Rashid Zainutdinov, and Oleg Mironov. In addition, two skilled forwards joined the proceedings : Vladimir Pantyushenko and Rustam Zabirov. The resultant role was that Rubin Kazan finished in 6th plaza in 1996. In the following year, 1997, the finish to reach the first league became more complicated through the fact that, according to the rules, only one club from the central zone of the moment league could qualify. For this year, Rubin Kazin was strengthened by the revert of some of its best players : Sergei Kharlamov, Rustem Bulatov, Airat Ahmetgaliev, Rustem Khuzin. Valery Aleskarov from Nizhnekamsk performed duties as goalkeeper, and Andrey Knyazev from Magnitogorsk played at the top. Having taken the lead in their zone after the one-third round off, the club went on to soldify its military position and were actually able to finish first, scoring 102 points out of 120 possible. frankincense, the goal of returning the baseball club to the first division was fulfilled. Furthermore, adding to the achiever of the club in this season, Rubin Kazan managed to win 13 games in a row. Andrey Knyazev was the best scorekeeper of the season, scoring 30 goals ( 25 of them in the backing ). The 1997 season is besides noteworthy for Rubin Kazan in that it was the first time in 22 years that the club had a reserve team. Rubin Kazan went on to excel in the Cup of Russia in 1997–98. First, they beat Fakel Voronej, then Lokomotive Nizhniy Novgorod, and then Arsenal from Tula. In the bet on against Tula, a goal by Airat Ahmetgaliev became decisive, as it was scored alone two minutes before the end of the match, delighting the 15,000 fans in the Tsentralny stadium. later in 1998, Volchok retired as head coach, and was replaced by Alexander Sergeyevich Irkhin, although he would lone last for the remainder of the season. In the first division backing of this year, Rubin Kazan finished in 7th rate. In December 1998, one of Russia ‘s most applaud coaches, Pavel Sadyrin took over educate duties from Irkhin. He excessively, however, would only stay for one condense year, enjoying small success with Rubin Kazan, which again finished in 7th position in the 1999 season. In orderliness to fulfil with ambition of playing in the top division of the Russianc championship, Victor Petrovich Antihovich was hired for the 2000 season. At this indicate, fifteen players left the team, four of which moved into top division clubs : Okroshidze, Bulatov, and Lysenko transferred to CSKA Sennikov, while Khuzin went to Amkar Perm.

On 20 September 2009, the four players, accompanied by a Levski representative, travelled to Moscow to undergo a medical examination, but the deal fell done, as the hypocrite Rubin representative offered lower salaries than those originally agreed. Official Rubin representatives denied any cognition of the whole affair, maintaining that they knew nothing about the players in question. It turned out that Levski had fallen victims to fraudsters.
