FC Zenit was ordered to take in members of the "Stalinets" metallurgical workers' team after the end of the 1939 season. In 1939, during the rule of Joseph Stalin, Leningradsky Metallichesky Zavod became part of the military industry and its sports teams, players, and managers were transferred to the Zenit sports society. The current name of FC Zenit was registered in 1936 (as Bolshevik became part of the Zenit sports society and was renamed), three years before the Stalinets merged with it. The Stalinets were not the same team named Zenit that took part in the 1938 USSR championship. ( Stalinets translates literally to English as "Stalinist" however, in Russian, the name is a play on words as stal means "steel" in that language.) Historians documented that both predecessor teams of Zenit were playing independently until their official merger at the end of 1939. In 1925, another predecessor team of Zenit was formed, of workers from the Leningradsky Metallichesky Zavod (Leningrad Metal Plant) they were called the "Stalinets" in the 1930s. The team and stadium survived the drama of World War I, the Bolshevik revolution of 1917, and the Russian Civil War of 1918 to 1922. The oldest documented predecessor of Zenit was the team "Murzinka," founded in 1914, which played in the Obukhovsky stadium from 1914 until 1924, when the team came to be known as "Bolshevik" (the new name for Obukhovsky industry and its stadium). The origins of Zenit date back to the beginning of the 20th century to several predecessor teams in Saint Petersburg that were playing locally. The club was renamed several times and its owners and leaders were under political pressure for many decades. The original Zenit team stemmed from several football teams, which changed names and owners many times during the Soviet era after the Revolution of 1917, as powerful political forces manipulated the careers of individual players as well as the fate of the whole team. The players of those local teams were amateurs and loosely associated with each other. In 1897, the first officially-recorded football match in Russia was held in Saint Petersburg on Vasilievsky Island, an unofficial game between the local English team "Ostrov" and the local Russian team "Petrograd," which the English team won, 6–0. Zenit's history is tightly connected with the political history of Saint Petersburg, Russia (also called "Petrograd" and "Leningrad" at times in its history). In addition, the European Club Association suspended the team. In March 2022, the club was expelled from all European and international club competitions by FIFA and the UEFA due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The team play its home matches at the Gazprom Arena. The club is owned and sponsored by the Russian state-owned energy giant Gazprom. Zenit are the reigning champions of the Russian Premier League. Founded in 1925 (or in 1914, according to some Russian sources), the club plays in the Russian Premier League. What are your thoughts on this new Bayern Munich dream league soccer 2020 kits?
