Spartak Moscow
The People’s Team in the Workers’ State
ROBERt EDELMaN
In the inormative, entertaining, and generously illustrated
Spartak Moscow
, a book that will be cheered by soccer ans worldwide, RobertEdelman nds in the stands and on the pitch keys to understandingeveryday lie under Stalin, Khrushchev, and their successors. Millionsattended matches and obsessed about their avorite club, and theirrowdiness on game day stood out as a moment o relative reedomin a society that championed conormity. This was particularly thecase or the supporters o Spartak, which emerged rom the roughproletarian Presnia district o Moscow and spent much o its history inerce rivalry with Dinamo, the team o the secret police. To cheer orSpartak, Edelman shows, was a small and sae way o saying “no” toall that went on around them; to understand Spartak is to understandhow soccer explains Soviet lie.Champions o the Soviet Elite League twelve times and eleven-timewinner o the USSR Cup, Spartak was ounded and led or seven de-cades by the our Starostin brothers, the most visible o whom wereNikolai and Andrei. Brilliant players turned skilled entrepreneurs, theywere fexible enough to constantly change their business model toaccommodate the dramatic shits in Soviet policy. Whether because o their own nancial wheeling and dealing or Spartak’s too requent suc-cess against state-sponsored teams, they were arrested in 1942 andspent twelve years in the gulag. Instead o acing hard labor and likelydeath, they were spared the harshness o their places o exile whenthey were asked by local camp commandants to coach the prisoners’ootball teams. Returning rom the camps ater Stalin’s death, theytook back the reins o a club whose mystique as the “people’s team”was only enhanced by its status as a victim o Stalinist tyranny.Edelman covers the team rom its days on the wild elds o prerevolu-tionary Russia through the post-Soviet period. Given its history, it washardly surprising that Spartak adjusted quickly to the new, capitalistworld o postsocialist Russia, going on to win the championship o theRussian Premier League nine times, the Russian Cup three times, andthe CIS Commonwealth o Independent States Cup six times.In addition to providing a resh and authoritative history o Sovietsociety as seen through its obsession with the world’s most popularsport, Edelman, a well-known sports commentator, also providesbiographies o Spartak’s leading players over the course o a cen-tury and riveting play-by-play accounts o Spartak’s most importantmatches—including such highlights as the day in 1989 when Spartaklast won the Soviet Elite League on a Valery Shmarov ree kick at theninety-second minute. Throughout, he palpably evokes what it waslike to cheer or the “Red and White.”

“Why [did we in the working class rootor Spartak]? Today I understand mostclearly that Spartak was the home teamo ordinary people. Why? The name hadmeaning or us. Then all the kids and eventhe grown-ups knew the name o the leader o the slave revolt in ancient Rome. . . . Itwas studied closely in our schools—a story o the struggle o the exploited against theexploiters. How could the names o theother teams—Dinamo, TsDKA, Lokomotiv or Torpedo—compare?”—Spartak an Iurii Oleshchuk,quoted in
Spartak Moscow
