About the book: 2017 / Expanded and revised edition of the book by a famous sports commentator. The recent history of Zenit - the history of recent decades - is a story of continuous ascension, a story of maturation and growth. With every new coach, with every player who came, Zenit - albeit not immediately - became stronger, brighter, more talented... This publication, according to the author, does not pretend to be encyclopedic and complete. This collection of essays and interviews is purely the author’s own; this is a subjective, perhaps not always fair, but an honest look at what happened to Zenit in these thirty years.
