Dynamo Kyiv

FC Dynamo Kyiv

The club today was founded in the form of the first team of Kyiv's division of the all-Union Dynamo sports association as well as its republican division within the Ukrainian SSR, initially based in Kharkiv. The Soviet government moved capital in 1934 to Kyiv around 1934. The all-Union Dynamo Sports Society was a department of sports within the Soviet state security KGB which was originally Cheka-OGPU. The Soviet period, the Dynamos' players were treated as all Dynamos within the Soviet Union were officially Soviet uniformed members of the service, receiving rank, salary and pensions while playing as masters on the team.

On May 13, 1927, the Statute for the Kyivan Proletarian Sport Society (PST) Dynamo was officially registered by the special commission that deals with the affairs of public organisations and unions in the Kyiv district. The All-Union sports society that was formed by Dynamo is located in Moscow was founded in 1923 at the request of Felix Dzerzhinsky. Under the banner of Kyivan Dynamo gathered the representatives of the GPU (the State Political Directorate, that is, the Soviet secret police), the best footballers of which defended the honors of the Trade Union club "Sovtorgsluzhashchie"[3] (portmanteau for Soviet retail servicemen). The leaders of Dynamo however, was not able to change the organization of the club or the primary title contenders at the midst of a football season, and the first mention of the club's football team Dynamo could be seen only on April 5, 1928 within the newspaper in Russian. Vecherniy Kiev ("Evening Kyiv").

It was at this point that, thanks to on the suggestion of Semyon Zapadny Chief of Kyiv's GPU the team of football was formed. His assistant, Serhiy Barminsky, started the team not just from regular Chekists (members from the Soviet secret police) as well as players from other clubs within the city. The footballers were all part of the city's consolidated team or were champions of the city. The team was formed and had its first game on the 1st of July 1928 against a local , consolidated city team, while in Bila Tserkva. The game began in the fifth minute. the Dynamo-men had scored during the match, however they lost the game 2-1. team was defeated 1-1. On the 15th of July it was reported that the Bila the newspaper Tserkva Radyanska Nyva ("Soviet Fields") described the game in these words.

The next game held by Dynamo was on July 17 1928 when they hosted an additional Dynamo in the city that was a port, Odessa. With the team gaining experience and was regularly playing and began to fill the stadium with spectators , the football club as well as generally gaining popularity throughout Soviet Ukraine.

The club stadium Dynamo opened on the 12th of June 1933, just one year prior to when the Soviet government transformed the city into the capital of Soviet Ukraine.

In the Soviet time period, the club was among the major competitors, and in many cases, the sole rival to the football clubs of Moscow. The club's ability to compete with the dominance of Moscow clubs of Soviet football and often defeat them in the Soviet championship as a matter of pride for Ukraine. The leaders from Ukraine's Ukrainian SSR unofficially believed that the team was their national team and supported the team with a generous amount of assistance and made Dynamo an official team of international significance.

In 1936 it was the year that the inaugural Soviet Championship was played in which Dynamo Kyiv was one of the early pioneers of the new league. The team's first successes were but limited to a second-place finish in 1936 , and third in 1937. The 1941 season was a solitary one. the club played just nine games as World War II stopped games in the league.

The popular story is related that it was that the Dynamo team, known in the name of "Start of Kyiv All-Stars", of Kyiv All-Stars", was executed by a firing squad during 1943, during the Summer of War after defeating an All-Star squad from the German army with a score of 5-1. The real story that was told by Y. Kuznetsov, is much more complicated. However, the match was later referred to by media in the Soviet press as "The The Death Match".

Following the Nazi occupation of Ukraine began, professional footballers (Dynamo as well as Lokomotyv) were employed at the town's Bakery No. 3. They continued to play in amateur football. The team played in exhibition matches which took place in the city, along with other teams, which included teams comprised of Wehrmacht soldiers. Kyiv's squad played under the name "Start" consisting of 8 players of Dynamo Kyiv (Nikolai Trusevych, Mikhail Svyridovskiy, Nikolai Korotkykh, Oleksiy Klymenko, Fedir Tyutchev, Mikhail Putistin, Ivan Kuzmenko, Makar Honcharenko) and three players from Lokomotyv Kyiv (Vladimir Balakin, Vasyl Sukharev and Mikhail Melnyk).

In the months of July and August 1942 "Start" participated in a number of matches against Germans as well as their allies. On the 12th of July the German military team fell. A more powerful army squad was picked for the next game on July 17 and "Start" beat by 6-0. On the 19th of July "Start" won against MSG Wal, the Hungarian side MSG Wal 5-1. The Hungarians suggested a return match that was held on the 26th of July, but lost by the same score, 3-2.

"Start"'s streak was observed and a game was scheduled to be played on the 6th of August against an "most robust" "undefeated" German Luftwaffe Flakelf (anti-aircraft artillery) team. However, despite the match being hyped in the media and media, they did not report the 5-1 win. On the 9th of August, "Start" played a "friendly" match against Flakelf and once more beat Flakelf. The team beat Rukh 8-0 on the 16th of August Then, a few players of "Start"'s players were taken into custody by the Gestapo and tortured - Nikolai Korotkykh passed away in the torture process and later taken for the local labour camp in Syrets. There is an idea it was because the team members were detained because of the intrigues of Georgy Shvetsov, founder and coach for"Rukh" "Rukh" group, given that the arrests took place the days following "Start" beat "Rukh".

On February 23, 1943, after an assault by the partisans, or a war between administration and prisoners in Syrets, one-third of prisoner at Syrets were murdered in retaliation and included Ivan Kuzmenko, Oleksey Klymenko and goalkeeper Nikolai Trusevich. Three of the other prisoners were Makar Honcharenko Fedir Tyutchev, and Mikhail Sviridovskiy were part of the work force in the city at the time and were later arrested days later. According to various sources, fled and fled the city until liberated.

The story was the inspiration for 3 films: the film of the same name in 1961, the Hungarian movie thriller Two Half Times in Hell The 2001 American movie Escape to Victory and the 2012 Russian film Match.

Since 1989 the team changed into an autonomous company, removed with its parent organization, Ukrainian republican society known as Dynamo. In the final seasons in the Soviet Top League, it was a part of the national colours in Ukraine within the nationalist movement that became extremely popular.

Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the club was admitted to the newly-formed Ukrainian Premier League. In the summer of 1993 the club was in a state of crisis due to the economic policies that was implemented by Dynamo president Viktor Belverkhy put Dynamo on the road towards bankruptcy. On the 19th July 1993, a symphony of players and coaches sacked Bezverkhy and created an stock company named "Football Club "Dynamo (Kyiv)". Hryhoriy Surkis took over as president of the new organization. The city and republican councils representing the Dynamo society decided to sell two training facilities as well as Dynamo Stadium for Dynamo Kiev. The people who founded the club, in addition to the football club and the Dynamo councils also became the commercial consulting center Slavutych as well as Newport Management, a British business Newport Management. The review committee was formed composed of directors from the Ministry of Interior of Ukraine as well as members of the Security Service, Border Troops and the general Prosecutor of Ukraine.

Its primary rival to the north of Ukraine has been Shakhtar Donetsk, a club located in the Donbas region that was second to Dynamo many times before winning the inaugural Premier League in 2002. The games between the two teams are referred to as the Ukrainian derby.

In the wake of the team's disappointing performance during the UEFA Champions League during the previous two seasons, the Dynamo management made an unusual choice by appointing the very first manager from outside their history. Prior to this the only players who were former and Dynamo players from the football academy had been appointed managers. However, in December 2007, Russian head coach Yuri Semin was invited to become the new coach at Dynamo Kyiv.
