Have always been interested in leagues within countries that no longer exist (or don't exist in the same form). So I made this video summarizing the Soviet Top League.

A nice introduction to Soviet football. 1 small gripe, you mention that Dynamo defeated a Bulgarian team, Ferencváros, they are actually from Budapest in Hungary.

Great video! I would like to know more about how clubs were run. Not so much the teams affiliated to state institutions, but the union run clubs like Spartak and fan run clubs. How did they make the funds to pay the players. What was the player transfer system like, if any. And congratulations on Canada's world cup qualification. I like to see anglophone nations where association football isn't the number one sport have success internationally.

Fascinating video! I was interested in the history of Dinamo Kyiv as I realized much of the best players on the Soviet national team during the 1980s were on that club. Special mention to Lev Yashin, a member of Dinamo Moscow, widely considered the best goalkeeper in history. The Russian Premier League certainly seems much more stable than the Soviet Top League ever was.

Probably better. It was the fifth best league in Europe once.

Great video, really informative. Btw, you say C S K A as an acronym rather than a word.

Actually you can say it both ways. The CSKA badge has the Russian letters for "tse" "seh" "ka" and "ah", and this is why in Russia we say TSE-SEH-KA-AH, or SESKA .
