Spartak Confessions. The Shine of the 50s and 90s, the Aesthetics of the 80s, the Crash of the 2000s, the Miracle of 2017.

The football club Spartak experienced different times. Long-term peaks of the 50s and 90s, when the red-white team was the dominant club in the USSR and Russia. Quite stable 60s with two championships. The catastrophe of the 70s, when the... most popular club in the country fell to relegation to the first league. A triumphant return, the gold of '79 and beautiful play in the 80s — it was rather a decade of aesthetics than a race for results. The decline of the 2000s after the firing of Oleg Romantsev. The golden miracle of 2017 under Massimo Carrera after 16 years without championships. All of these events will be recounted by the heroes themselves in the second volume of Spartak Confessions. Each decade, starting from the 50s of the last century to the present day, has its own speaker, or even two or three. Igor Rabiner has spoken at length with each of these people over the years — from Anatoly Isaev to Valery Reingold, from Anatoly Krutikov to Georgiy Yartsev, from Yuri Gavrilov to Dmitry Alenichev, from Stanislav Cherchesov to Valery Karpin, from Roman Pavlyuchenko to Denis Glushakov. And through their voices, you will hear how Spartak soared, fell, and soared again, celebrating its centenary in 2022.
