Soviet Top League
Encyclopedia
The Soviet Top League since 1970 was officially known as the Supreme League serving as the top division of Soviet Union
football
since 1936.
It was one of the best football leagues in Europe ranking second among the UEFA
members in 1988-1989 seasons. Three of its representatives reached the finals of the European club tournaments on four occasions: FC Dynamo Kyiv
, FC Dynamo Tbilisi, and FC Dynamo Moscow
. According to UEFA the main successor of the league became the Russian Premier League
.
, FC Spartak Moscow
, and FC Dynamo Moscow
. The most popular clubs beside of the above mentioned were PFC CSKA Moscow and FC Dynamo Tbilisi. The first team that won 10 championships was Dynamo Moscow in 1963, followed by Spartak in 1979. Dinamo Tbilisi became famous for finishing third but never winning the title. Perceived as exclusively Russian by people from other countries, the league was truly multinational with all the republics in the USSR being represented. The Russian representation was almost exclusively from Moscow.
Eleven clubs spent over 30 seasons in the league with just under half (five) of them from Moscow. Dynamo Moscow and Dynamo Kyiv were the only clubs that participated in all seasons of the league. Among other prominent Russian clubs were SKA Rostov/Donu
(Army team), Zenit Leningrad (Zenith), and Krylia Sovietov Kuibyshev (Wings of the Soviets). The Ukraine was also often represented by Shakhtar Donetsk (Miners) and later by Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk who were strong in the 1980s.
After the league's reorganization number of Ukrainian-based clubs grew and in the last seasons before the breakup of the USSR the Ukraine was often equally represented with the Russian clubs. Among the Soviet sports societies most successful were Dynamo and Army clubs, both of which also were closely associated with state enforcing agencies.
Until the 1960's the main title contenders in the league were the Moscow clubs of Spartak and Dynamo whose dominance was disrupted for only a brief period after World War II
by CDKA Moscow, nicknamed 'The team of lieutenants'.
The 1960s saw the emergence of a new Soviet football elite in Torpedo Moscow
and Dynamo Kyiv
. While Moscow's automakers
did not manage to grow into perennial challengers, the team from the Ukrainian capital became an unofficial feeder for the Soviet national team, replacing Dynamo Moscow. Dynamo Kyiv's success as a Ukrainian club was supplemented in the 1980's with the appearance of Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk led by its striker Oleh Protasov who set a new record for goals scored in a season. In 1984, Zenit Leningrad became Soviet champions for the first time. The Peter's men having a rich history in Russian football but for a long were unable to break the dominance of the Moscow-based clubs, or that of Dynamo Tbilisi
and Kiev
.
Since the fall of the Soviet Union, there was a suggestion that the competition would be re-established along the lines of the Commonwealth of Independent States Cup
, but due to lack of interest on various levels the venture was never implemented. There were various other similar initiatives which ultimately found no support and were discontinued.

Development
Over the years the league has changed, however since 1970s its competition structure has solidified with 16 participants, except from 1979 through 1985 when the number of participants was extended to 18. Because of the dissolution of the Soviet Union the structure of the league has also became unstable as more and more clubs lost interest continuing participation in the league. Attempts to reorganize the league took place, however practically all of them were not successful.Until the 1960's the main title contenders in the league were the Moscow clubs of Spartak and Dynamo whose dominance was disrupted for only a brief period after World War II
