== History ==
=== Foundation ===
{{seealso|FC Presnya Moscow}} {{seealso|Nikolai Starostin}}
In the early days of Soviet football many government agencies such as the police, army, and railroads created their own clubs.
In 1921 the Moscow Sport Circle (Moscow sport club of Krasnopresnensky district) (Russian: МКС, Московский кружок спорта), later named Krasnaya Presnya was formed by Ivan Artemev and involved Starostin, especially in its football team.[4] The team grew, building a stadium, supporting itself from ticket sales and playing matches across Russia.[5] As part of a 1926 reorganisation of football in the USSR, Starostin arranged for the club to be sponsored by the food workers union and the club moved to the 13,000 seat Tomskii Stadium and was known as Pishcheviki . The team changed sponsors repeatedly over the following years as it competed with Dinamo Moscow, whose 35,000 seat Dinamo Stadium lay close by.
As a high-profile sportsman, Starostin came into close contact with Alexander Kosarev, secretary of the Komsomol (Communist Union of Youth) who already had a strong influence on sport and wanted to extend it.[6] In November 1934, with funding from Promkooperatsiia, Kosarev employed Starostin and his brothers to develop his team to make it more powerful. Again the team changed its name, this time to Spartak Moscow.[7] It took its name from the Roman slave rebel and athlete Spartacus
It became part of the Spartak Sports Society during its establishment on April 19, 1935
=== Soviet period ===
In 1935 Starostin proposed the name Spartak that was derived from [[Spartacus]], a [[gladiator]]-slave who led a rebellion against [[Ancient Rome|Rome]], and was inspired by eponymous book by [[Raffaello Giovagnoli]]. Starostin is also credited with the creation of the Spartak logo.<ref>[http://fcspartak.ru/content/ist/ History of Spartak], fcspartak.ru {{ru icon}}</ref> The same year the club became a part of newly created [[Spartak (sports society)|Spartak sports society]].
[[Image:Spartak Society logo.gif|100px|thumb|right|Spartak's third logo]]
[[Czech Republic|Czech]] manager [[Antonin Fivebr]] is credited as the first head coach of Spartak, though he worked as a consultant in several clubs simultaneously<ref name=History1936>{{cite web |url= http://www.redwhite.ru/1936.html |title= History of Spartak 1936 |accessdate=2007-11-28 | }}{{ru icon}}</ref>. In 1936 the [[Soviet Top League]] was established. The first Championship was won by [[FC Dynamo Moscow|Dynamo Moscow]], while in the second one held the same year Spartak came first. Before the [[WWII]] Spartak gained two more titles.
During 1950-s Spartak together with [[FC Dynamo Moscow|Dynamo Moscow]] dominated in the [[Soviet Top League]]. When the [[USSR national football team]] won gold medals on the [[Football at the 1956 Summer Olympics|Melbourne Olympics]], it consisted largely of Spartak players. Spartak captain [[Igor Netto]] was the captain of the national team from 1954 to 1963. In the 1960s, Spartak won two league titles, but by mid-60s Spartak was no more regarded as a leading Soviet club. The club was even less successful in the 1970s and in 1976 Spartak was relegated into the [[Soviet First League|lower league]].
During the following season, the stadium was still full as the club's fans stayed with the team during its time in the lower division. [[Konstantin Beskov]], who became the head coach (ironically, as a footballer Beskov made his name playing for Spartak's main rivals, [[FC Dynamo Moscow|Dynamo Moscow]]), introduced several young players, including [[Rinat Dasayev]] and [[Georgi Yartsev]]. Spartak came back the next year and won the title in 1979, beating [[FC Dynamo Kyiv|Dynamo Kyiv]] and thanks to Spartak supporters, the period is considered to be the start of the modern-style fans' movement in the Soviet Union.
On [[October 20]], [[1982]], [[Luzhniki disaster|disaster struck]] during the [[UEFA Cup]] match between Spartak and [[HFC Haarlem]]. Scores of people were trampled. The official number of deaths is 66 but many people believe this number to be significantly higher.
In 1989 Spartak won the its last USSR Championship defeating 2-1 the main rival Dynamo Kyiv in the closing round. Spartak's striker [[Valeri Shmarov (footballer)|Valery Shmarov]] scored the "golden" [[free kick]] with almost no time left. The next season Spartak reached [[European Cup 1990-91|European Cup]] semifinal consequently eliminating [[S.S.C. Napoli|Napoli]] (by penalties) and [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] (with 3-1 away victory) but losing to [[Olympique de Marseille]].
=== Modern period ===
A new page in the club’s history began when the USSR collapsed and its championship ceased to exist. In the newly created Russian league, Spartak, led by coach and president [[Oleg Romantsev]] dominated and won all but one title between 1992 and 2001. Year after year the team also represented Russia in the [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]].
Problems began in the new century. Several charismatic players ([[Ilya Tsymbalar]] and [[Andrey Tikhonov]] among others) left the club as a result of conflict with Romantsev. Later Romantsev sold his stock to oil magnate [[Andrei Chervichenko]], who in 2003 became the club president. The two were soon embroiled in a row that would continue until Romantsev was sacked in 2003 with the club suffering several sub-par seasons until Chervichenko finally sold his stock in 2004. The new ownership made a number of front office changes with the aim of returning the team to the top of the Russian Premier League.<ref>[http://www.uefa.com/footballeurope/news/Kind=4/newsId=310087.html All-star Spartak rise again], Eduard Nisenboim, ''uefa.com''</ref>
In the [[2005 in Russian football|2005 season]], Spartak, led by [[Aleksandrs Starkovs]], finished 2nd in the league following an impressive run to beat [[FC Lokomotiv Moscow|Lokomotiv]], [[FC Zenit Saint Petersburg|Zenit]] and [[FC Rubin Kazan|Rubin]] to the last Champions League place.
Following a mixed start to the 2006 season and public criticism from [[Dmitry Alenichev]], the team's captain and one of its most experienced players, Starkovs left his position to [[Vladimir Fedotov]].
Spartak was entitled to place a golden star on its badge in 2003 in commemoration of having won five Russian championships (this having been achieved in 1997).

==Nickname==
The team is usually called "red-and-whites", but among the fans "The Meat" is a very popular nickname. The origins of the nickname belong to the days of the foundation of the club; in the 1920s the team was renamed several times, from "Moscow Sports Club" to "Red Presnya" (after the name of one of the districts of Moscow) to "Pishcheviki" ("Food industry workers") to "Promkooperatsiya" ("Industrial cooperation") and finally to "Spartak Moscow" in 1934, and for many years the team was under patronage of one of the Moscow food factories which dealt with meat products.
One of the most favourite slogans of both the fans and players is "Who are we? We're The Meat!" "Meats by Ste'
The other nickname is "Svin'i" ("Pigs"), although, unsurprisingly, this is considered offensive by the team's fans.
==Rival teams==
At present, Spartak's arch rival is [[PFC CSKA Moscow|CSKA Moscow]]; although this is a relatively recent rivalry having only emerged in the last twenty years. One of the most celebrated rivalries is "Spartak-Dinamo", with neighbours [[FC Dynamo Moscow|Dinamo Moscow]]. However, this has faded somewhat due to Dinamo's poor performances. Matches against [[FC Lokomotiv Moscow|Lokomotiv Moscow]] and [[FC Zenit Saint Petersburg|Zenit St.Petersburg]] attract thousands of people as well, almost always resulting in packed stadiums.
Another rivalry was lost with the collapse of the [[Soviet Union]]. This was with [[Dynamo Kyiv]], one of the leaders of the USSR championship but now playing in the [[Ukraine|Ukrainian]] championship.
== Stadium ==
Spartak has never had its own stadium and the team has played in various [[Moscow]] stadiums throughout its history and even once an exhibition match on [[Red Square]]. Currently, the club's home ground is the 5-star [[Luzhniki Stadium|Luzhniki arena]] which officially belongs to another Moscow club, [[Torpedo Moscow|Torpedo]].
However, the club's new board has recently declared that "Spartak will soon play on their [[Spartak Moscow Stadion|own stadium]]". The federal government has agreed to give land for the stadium near the [[Tushino]] air field. The construction will begin in 2007 and is expected to end in 2009. <ref>{{cite web
