How Spartak was killed: sensational details of the fall of the great club. This book is about the most difficult and terrible time of the most popular football club. This is both the cry of the soul of a true fan and the result of the hard work of a journalist. Labor, which was all the more bitter the more unsightly the truth about the legendary team became. The truth, from which a real journalist has no right to turn away. This book is about how a young heir to the spirit and thought of the great Starostin brothers, a democrat coach, gradually became a dictator and eventually got lost in the world of his own illusions. About how the people's team became a commodity, was bought and sold, about how the recent flagship of Russian football almost disappeared in the abyss of financial fraud and organizational chaos, turning from FC Spartak into FC Scandal for several years.
