history [edit ]

basis [edit ]

In the early days of soviet football, government agencies such as the patrol, army, and railroads created their own clubs. many statesmen saw in the wins of their teams the superiority over the opponents patronising other teams. Almost all the teams had such kind of patrons ; Dynamo Moscow aligned with the militsiya, CSKA Moscow with the Red Army, and Spartak, created by a trade union public administration, was considered to be “ the people ‘s team ”. The history of the football club and sports society “ Spartak ” originates from the russian Gymnastics Society ( RGO “ Sokol ” ), which was founded on May 16, 1883. The club was founded under the influence of the Pan-Slavic “ Sokol apparent motion ” with the target of promoting the “ Sokolsk gymnastics ” and then sports including fencing material, wrestle, visualize skating, skate, football, ice hockey, lawn tennis, box, ski, athletics, and motorbike. In the RGO Sokol began to play football in the summer of 1897 ; the professional football section was founded in the spring of 1909. On August 1, 1920, the football team began to officially act under the name MCS, or Moscow Sports Club. In 1923, the MCS, subsequently named Krasnaya Presnya ( Red Presnya ), was formed by Ivan Artemyev and involved Nikolai Starostin, specially in its football team. Presnya is a zone of Moscow renowned for the radical politics of its inhabitants ; for example, it represented the center of the Moscow rise of 1905. The team grew, building a stadium, supporting itself from ticket sales and playing matches across the russian SFSR. As part of a 1926 reorganization of football in the Soviet Union, Starostin arranged for the golf club to be sponsored by the food workers coupling and the golf club moved to the 13,000 seat Tomsky Stadium, known as Pishcheviki. The team changed sponsors repeatedly over the take after years as it competed with Dinamo Moscow, whose 35,000 seat Dynamo Stadium lay close by. As a high-profile sport, Starostin came into close contact with Alexander Kosarev, repository of the Komsomol ( Communist Union of Youth ) who already had a impregnable influence on mutant and wanted to extend it. In November 1934, with fund from Promkooperatsiia, Kosarev employed Starostin and his brothers to develop his team to make it more powerful. Again the team changed its name, this clock to “ Spartak Moscow ” ( the name Spartak means “ Spartacus “, a gladiator who led an resurrect against Ancient Rome ). The club founders, four Starostin brothers, played a big function in the constitution of the team. The Starostins played for the red-whites in the 1930s but right before World War II they were subjected to repression as the leaders of the most despised [ clarification needed ] team by the state of matter 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 with Spartak. After the political rehabilitation, in 1954, he would by and by return to the team as the squad ‘s director .

Spartak captain Igor Netto was the captain of the national team from 1954 to 1963.
