All events that take place at the Luzhniki sports complex are doomed to be spectacular and interesting. It was here that for the first time Muscovites and guests of the city were able to enjoy a live performance by Michael Jackson, Billy Idol, the Rolling Stones, Pet Shop Boys, Scorpions and Nazareth.
And at the end of last year, the Grand Sports Arena was opened, which can accommodate more than eighty thousand spectators. Interestingly, after the renovation the structure retained its authentic appearance.
Luzhniki also hosted the opening of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, three matches group stage, one of the semi-finals and the final match. Following the tournament, there will be a number of other events planned for this year.
Luzhniki concerts 2018: the main events of this year
July was full of events for football fans. Many key events of this Championship took place in Luzhniki. But now even those who do not have a great love for football will be able to visit the renovated sports complex. Indeed, in 2018, a number of events will take place here, which many Russians have been waiting for for a long time.
And the closest of them, namely the fiftieth World League tournament Fighting Championship Akhmat, will be on the eighteenth of August at the Luzhniki Sports Complex, Rossiya State Central Concert Hall. There will be a lightweight fight weight category. Azamam Gaforov and Imran Bukuev will compete in the duel. Evgeny Goncharov will compete with Zelimkhan Umiev for the heavyweight champion title. The intrigue of this event is the fight between Alexander Emelianenko and American Tony Johnson. Alexander, having served his sentence in prison, became part of the Akhmat Team, and for him this is a very important competition. Tony is a worthy opponent as he recently scored a runaway win over Alexander Volkov.
Tickets cost from 1.8 thousand rubles, but the price may rise in the last days before the start of the tournament.
Also this year, a concert by the rock band Imagine Dragons and a performance by the Blue Man Group are expected at the Luzhniki Sports Complex.

This group of artists is also known as the "blue aliens" from New York. Their performance will appeal to everyone who loves contemporary art and experimental rock. In their work they combine humor, music and modern technologies. Their performances help us look at everyday things through the eyes of a child and laugh at how we sometimes exaggerate the importance of completely unimportant things.
On October 20, 1982, a tragedy occurred at Luzhniki, which was included in the list of the worst stadium disasters in the world. In a terrible crush after the UEFA Cup match "Spartak" - "Haarlem" a tragedy occurred: according to official data, 66 people died. Among the spectators of that match was Alexander PROSVETOV, now a columnist for SE. Several years ago, he told the truth about that story after talking with the parents of the victims.
SNOWBALLS AS A WEAPON OF PROTEST
We could very well be in their place. We are three 26-year-old friends who went to the Spartak - Haarlem match on October 20, 1982. On November 1, the author of these lines flew to work as a TASS correspondent in Benin, and this was my farewell trip to football with Artem and Mikhail. Human memory does not store all details. But much of that evening stuck with her forever.
Almost all the spectators were placed in the Eastern Stand, which later became Stand C. The seating was a bit cramped, but the police did not have to disperse their forces. The sliding bars at the entrance to the sector were suddenly closed, leaving a small opening the size of a gate. This “innovation” made it easier for law enforcement officers to check the passports of young people. Minors unaccompanied by adults were not allowed to attend evening events back then, and only a mouse could slip through such a gap. It was forbidden to shout in the stadium. One or the other was taken out of the stands for all sorts of exclamations. In response, fortunately wet snow had just fallen and snowballs were thrown at the policemen. At first there were timid single attempts, but gradually the shelling intensified. The police had not yet switched to winter uniforms, so their employees wore caps. After well-aimed throws with different sides they flew off their heads amid joyful laughter.
The police were truly confused - and the unthinkable happened: they retreated from the podium,” he said Artem Petrov, a scientist working in America. - The people began to celebrate the victory over the tyrants. But most importantly, I remember that after final whistle I convinced you and Misha: “There’s no need to rush, let the crowd disperse.” When we eventually went down into the corridor below the stands, you were outraged that the policeman grabbed the teenager’s scarf. He responded: “Look what’s going on there!” But for some reason he let the boy go.
To be honest, I don’t remember this. But I didn’t forget how two policemen carried a soldier who sagged lifelessly in his overcoat, like in a hammock.
We were returned to the podium, where we sat for another quarter of an hour, and then went out into the street through another sector,” Artem continued. - From a distance we saw that people were lying on the handrails of the stairs, their bodies bent over. And we realized: they are dead. The newspapers the next day said nothing. We later found out what happened from “enemy voices” from various acquaintances.
The weather was disgusting, and the game as a whole was gloomy, - said Mikhail Snyatkovsky, businessman. - Everyone is frozen. Some spectators secretly drank - then it was much easier to carry with you than now. They even threw ice cubes at the policemen. The second goal against Haarlem, scored in the last minute by Shvetsov, caused incredible jubilation. Everyone was overcome with euphoria. People who had already left the sector rushed back to find out what happened, and maybe, if they were lucky, to watch a replay on the light board.
Sergey Shvetsov told me that he learned about the tragedy the day after the match from Nikolai Petrovich Starostin. At the same time, the author famous phrase: “It would be better if I hadn’t scored that goal,” he admitted that it was unpleasant for him to mentally return to that day.
Why don’t they ask how I scored four goals for Neftchi? No, everyone is interested in the “fatal goal.” I had such a job - to score goals. Nevertheless, the residue remained for the rest of my life.
Coming out of the stadium, we saw a terrible sight: lifeless bodies were hanging on the railings, and there was only one ambulance nearby,” he specified. Snyatkovsky.
- Then, on the way to Sportivnaya, we met a whole convoy of medical vehicles...
I don't remember this. But we were definitely shocked. We rode on the subway in silence - we completely forgot about the match. And when we arrived home, we started calling each other and asking: “How are you, have you left?” The condition was terrible. It's still scary to remember. But we, in fact, did not end up in that hell.
I stated our impressions, really, not out of boasting. It is no merit to be in the epicenter of an earthquake and survive, because heavy beams and slabs did not fall on you. But there is still a picture before my eyes: a pile of bodies lies on the stairs, heads down. Some people get up with great difficulty and hobble, limping, away from this horror...
COMMANDANT IN THE ROLE OF SWITCHMAN
After the match “Spartak” - “Harlem”, a table was waiting for Mikhail Zazulenko at home - the guy turned eighteen.
The police are definitely to blame for the death of our children,” his father told me. Yuri Leonidovich Zazulenko. “At that time I myself worked in the KGB and had the opportunity to familiarize myself with the circumstances of the case in great detail, I saw photographs from the scene of the event. The major had the key to the lattice gate, who locked it and left. There was a small opening left. And the crowd pressed, so much so that the 20-millimeter-thick railings unraveled under pressure. People were literally pressed together. Everyone has the same diagnosis - asphyxia, that is, suffocation. Of course, it was impossible to hide the 200 - 300 victims that we heard about even then, but I doubt the figure of “66 dead.”
There were so many corpses in three morgues, but they were taken to four. Even if only one person got into the fourth, then there are already 67. At the trial, they found the switchman, and the police were whitewashed. The Minister of Internal Affairs, Shchelokov, was still in force. When Andropov (an ardent opponent of Shchelokov) came to power, he was elected General Secretary of the Central Committee on November 12, 1982. - Note A.P.), I was hoping he would get this going. But Andropov had no time for us. On the other hand, we should have written to him, in which case he might have been closely involved in our business, but we didn’t realize it.
Questions remain. Some talk about two colliding human streams, and Vladimir Aleshin, for example, who headed the Luzhniki spot complex in December 1982, at a meeting with SE journalists, said that the police wanted to pull out the intruders who were throwing snowballs from the crowd, but the fans held hands tightly. Someone slipped on the icy stairs... It is significant that everyone today blames the law enforcement agencies, but the same ones remained as if they had nothing to do with it.
The leaders of the stadium were in the dock: the director, his deputy and the commandant. The first two escaped sentence (according to Aleshin, the deputy, a veteran of the Great Patriotic War, was helped, in particular, by military awards). The commandant, who was sentenced to three years, but due to the amnesty, served half of the term, took the rap for everyone.
I met this man at a reception at the Dutch Embassy. We talked, although he noted that he had not communicated with compatriot journalists for 25 years. My wife decisively intervened in the conversation: “I don’t want my grandchildren to read this. We’ve already suffered enough. We weren’t hired for any important jobs with a criminal record in our passport.” I promised not to name my name in the newspaper.
When the tragedy occurred, the police were not on the scene: they were sent to the Dutch bus, said the wife of the ex-commandant. - And they made my husband the scapegoat, as the youngest - he was then a little over thirty.
They brought me ridiculous charges,” the former commandant emphasized. - One of the points said that I could not establish the right relationship with law enforcement agencies. In fact, the trouble happened because the police escalated the situation from the very beginning; their officers behaved tactlessly towards the fans.
The work collective was ready to take me on bail, as was customary then, but Aleshin refused to sign the letter.
LIFE FOR SPARTAK
It is noteworthy that the relatives of the victims do not hold a grudge against the commandant. “We, parents, don’t blame him,” she told me bluntly. Raisa Mikhailovna Viktorova, who lost her only son in 1982 and headed an informal committee of fathers and mothers.
When the prosecutor’s office was called for the first time, we formed a core of activists of five people,” she said. - Later others joined - there were about twenty people. Among the victims were not only Muscovites, but also residents of Kuibyshev, Tambov, Ryazan, Chekhov and Serpukhov near Moscow.
After that match, I spent the whole night looking for my Oleg, a 3rd year student at the Moscow Institute of Radio Engineering, Electronics and Automation. He turned 20 in August. I called hospitals and contacted the police. “He’s with some girl, and you’re worried,” they told me. Oleg arrived at the morgue at six in the morning. This means that he lay all night near the Lenin monument, where the corpses were stacked in stacks. I learned this from the case materials, which the investigator suggested that I familiarize myself with.
My Volodya was not allowed to play football alone - he was still in the 8th grade, - she shared her memories Svetlana Grigorievna Anikina. - So his friends advised him: ask one of the adults to say at the entrance that you are with him. In the morning I rushed to Sklif and suddenly met Andropov there (by that time he was the secretary of the CPSU Central Committee; Andropov left the leadership of the KGB in May 1982. - Note A.P.). He was talking with the head physician in the corridor. He asked what I was doing here. She replied that she had heard that dead children were brought here. Andropov gave instructions to help. And he said: “There are a lot of corpses there.”
My husband, leaving, said: “I will give my life for Spartak,” she said Guzel Talipovna Abdulina. - Who would have thought that his words would turn out to be prophetic? I was left with my four and a half year old son in my arms.
Oleg wasn’t particularly interested in football,” she, in turn, noted Nina Maksimovna Borisova. - He played hockey. But the Komsomol committee of the technical school issued tickets for the match with the parting words: “You must support our Soviet team". And the son said that he could not help but go. And then they began to deliberately make hooligans out of our children.
They demanded that they bring testimonials from their place of study, the dead were tested for alcohol content, and husbands who were members of the CPSU were told: “Get rid of your wives,” they were threatened with expulsion from the party, they were held back during promotions, and he is still indignant Nina Aleksevna Novostrueva, whose son Mikhail was also a technical school student.
The court hearing, initially scheduled in the center of Moscow, was moved to the area of the Molodezhnaya metro station, at that time a distant outskirts of the city. The women said they walked like criminals through a long line.
The authorities were not afraid of us, but of the performances of Spartak fans,” she noted Raisa Viktorova. “They didn’t let me into the court at all, because the summons was sent only in the name of my husband. I started a scandal. I didn't care at that moment. Not much time had passed, and we were ready to tear the entire police to pieces. The case consisted of 12 volumes. Nevertheless, one day was enough for the trial. They came to the conclusion that it was just an accident and punished one commandant. Many years later, an investigator named Speer, who was working on our case, became seriously ill. He was tormented by his conscience, and he wanted to apologize to us, his parents, for following the lead of the authorities, but he didn’t have time. And we knew from day one that the police were to blame. When a year later they came to the place where our guys died to honor their memory, KGB officers stood around with inscrutable faces in black jackets and ties. They didn't even allow us to lay flowers. We threw them over the fence. All sorts of obstacles were created for almost ten years. For the tenth anniversary, a memorial was erected in Luzhniki, and I bow deeply to the people who paid attention to us and found sponsors.
U Yuri Leonidovich Zazulenko my question for help caused strong emotions:
We were only compensated for the cost of the clothes that the dead were wearing, and they also paid for the funeral. What kind of help could we be talking about? Aleshin did not let us erect a monument for ten years. Luzhkov was caught while he was playing football. He also kicked back.
A MONUMENT AS STRONG AS OAK
In the 80s Georgy Sergeevich Lunacharsky, an architect by training, headed the Spartak fans club. Together with the sculptor Mikhail Skovorodin, they became the authors of the monument in Luzhniki.
The decision to create the monument was made by our fan association,” said Lunacharsky. - When I visited Luzhkov, I said that we want to make a memorial sign. Thus, we lulled the vigilance of the authorities: they thought that we wanted to attach a memorial plaque. We prepared two dozen options. At the same time, they tried to give the monument an international sound. That’s why the inscription “To those who died in the stadiums of the world” was made in four languages.
- At whose expense was the monument made?
CRUSH IN LUZHNIKI
Until recently, few people knew about the events that took place on October 20, 1982 at the Luzhniki Stadium. That evening, as a result of the resulting crush, from 66 to 340 people died, according to various sources. The exact number of victims is still unknown today.
Tragedies at stadiums are not uncommon. When a crowd is overwhelmed by emotions, it becomes uncontrollable. And sad statistics appear: Cali (Colombia), 1982 - 24 dead, 250 wounded; Sheffield (England), 1989 - 45 dead, 200 injured; Guatemala, 1995 - 82 dead and 147 injured... Most of these people died not at the hands of angry fans, but as a result of a crush that formed in the stands or in narrow passages. As a reminder of the tragedy, bouquets of flowers appear on the football field every year. Relatives and friends of the victims hold rallies - a tribute to those who will never come to cheer for their favorite team. All this didn’t happen at Luzhniki...
The day when the Moscow Spartak met the Dutch Haarlem in the 1/16 finals of the UEFA Cup at Luzhniki turned out to be cold. Snow, icy wind and ten-degree frost did not contribute to the full house in the Luzhniki stands. But Spartak’s fans were not going to miss the game: just think, it’s freezing, as if it’s impossible to warm up “from the inside”! Therefore, 16.5 thousand fans came to the match (this is the figure stated by stadium director Viktor Kokryshev). Some of them are Dutch fans, but the vast majority are ordinary Moscow youth, to whom the word “fans” can be applied with great stretch.
In those years when the tragedy occurred, the construction of communism was still in full swing in the USSR. Therefore, the fan movement was perceived as something completely alien to the very spirit of the Soviet people. Law enforcement agencies were given appropriate instructions: to suppress any actions of fans (it went so far as to prohibit them from coming to the match with paraphernalia of their favorite team, clapping and chanting slogans). But the more opposition the fans encountered, the stronger the feeling of protest became. Expressing contempt for law enforcement officers has become one of the main points of the unspoken code of fans. Therefore, the police, having discovered that there were not so many “wards”, decided to gather them on one stand - stand “C”. This made it easier to control the situation. In addition, by the start of the match only two stands had been cleared, so it makes no sense to look for any special meaning in the actions of the police.
The match was generally calm: the Spartak team scored a goal against the guests, and until last minute It seemed to everyone that the score would remain 1:0 in favor of Spartak. Therefore, those who had to get home by train began to gradually make their way to the exit. The police cordon was only glad to have the opportunity to get warm as quickly as possible, so they even began to hurry those lagging behind. Some people had already managed to exit through the only open gate when Sergei Shevtsov scored the second goal twenty seconds before the end of the match. Later, having learned about the tragedy, he will say with bitterness: “Eh, it would be better if I didn’t score that goal...”
Everything happened in a matter of minutes. The stands roared with delight, and some of the fans turned back to see what had happened. As a result, two oncoming streams collided in a narrow passage, on the stairs leading to the lobby from the arena. One can only guess which of the people pressed into a single mass stumbled first. But their fate was decided: after a moment’s hesitation, the rear ones “pushed”, and those who had fallen were trampled underfoot. Due to the crush, the staircase railings could not hold up. People walking from the edge began to fall from a height onto the concrete floor... In a matter of minutes, 66 (according to other sources - 67) people died, another 61 were injured and maimed, 21 of them seriously. The police laid the mutilated people and corpses on the frozen ground, called ambulances... Those who escaped the monstrous meat grinder were led by the police along the same exit, without giving time to look around. But many still saw the consequences of the crush - crushed to death and maimed people who just a minute ago were sitting nearby and enjoying the Spartak team's game... Parents, concerned about the absence of children, sensed something was wrong and came to the stadium. But there was a cordon there and no one was allowed in... The bodies of the dead were taken to morgues.
The next day, October 21, the heads of all Moscow cemeteries received telephone messages with an order to come to an emergency meeting with the manager of the special trust, Comrade. M.V. Popkov. There, having warned about non-disclosure, they were informed that a tragedy had occurred at the Luzhniki stadium; by noon on October 21, 102 people had already died. There were still many seriously wounded in hospitals at that time, so the terrible figure was bound to increase. In this regard, a state of emergency was declared for the trust. Those who died at Luzhniki were to be served out of turn, and parents were given the right to choose a place in any cemetery in the city.
The dead were allowed to be buried only after 13 days. Coffins with bodies on the way to the cemetery were allowed to be taken home - for exactly forty minutes. Then, accompanied by a police escort, the cars drove to different cemeteries... Rallies were prohibited. It seemed that the authorities were concerned with only one thing: that everything that happened should not become public.
Only a short message was leaked to the press. “Evening Moscow” wrote sparingly: “On October 20, 1982, after a football match on Bolshaya sports arena At the Central Stadium named after V.I. Lenin, when spectators were leaving, an accident occurred as a result of a violation of the order of people's movement. There are casualties. An investigation into the circumstances of the incident is underway." The true scale of the incident and the progress of the investigation that began immediately were carefully hushed up.
The investigation needed to find the culprit of the incident. In fact, only one version was considered: the crush occurred because drunken fans slipped on the icy and snow-covered steps of the stairs. No one was interested in where the ice in the internal closed passage came from. The court presented the director of the Big Sports Arena, Viktor Kokryshev, and commandant Yuri Panchikhin as the main culprits of the incident. Soon after the tragedy they were arrested and convicted. After the trial, Kokryshev was given an amnesty, and Panchikhin spent a year and a half in prison. They also tried to bring to justice the commander of the patrol service company, police major Karyagin. The same man who, during the stampede, rushed into the crowd and managed to pull several people out of the rubble. When the bodies of the victims were sorted out, he was found in critical condition. In the hospital he was in intensive care for a long time and that was the only reason he avoided imprisonment. But he remained disabled for the rest of his life...
The defendants were accused of having people of pre-retirement age working as controllers at the stadium, who could not ensure compliance with safety instructions... The statement is more than strange, especially considering two facts: firstly, the tragedy did not occur at the entrance to Luzhniki, but at exit, when everything was under police control. Secondly, the controllers received such little money (36 kopecks per hour) that only those who could not earn money anywhere else agreed to this work. Another accusation looks much more serious: why was only one gate open that evening, leading from the gallery to the street? In fact, two gates were open. Our fans were let out through some, and the Dutch came out through others. Which, in fact, is not a crime at all. Foreign nationals in almost every country in the world are under special guardianship. And what happened at “our” gates could be considered a fatal accident, if not for two circumstances.
Viktor Kokryshev mentioned that during the match a verbal confrontation arose between fans and police officers from the cordon. Someone who was particularly zealous began throwing snowballs and pieces of ice at the police. The police saved their retaliatory actions until the end of the match. They turned the stream of people towards one of the two sliding gates to pull the offenders out of the crowd. In response, the fans locked elbows. Then the police decided to slightly move the gate leaves to make it easier to filter the crowd. Which was the real reason for the stampede...
The second certificate was provided by Leonid Petrovich Chicherin, who at that time held the position of senior researcher at one of the capital’s medical institutes. On October 20, 1982, he was at the Luzhniki Stadium. Seeing the crushed and maimed people, Leonid Petrovich immediately offered his help and said that he was a doctor. What he saw was truly scary: “The whole staircase was littered with people. There, about a meter and a half away, there were definitely dead people (twenty minutes had already passed), higher up there were moaning people, and even further away there was a mass of standing people. They tried to direct us in the other direction again, I again said that I was a doctor. They let me through. There were several army and police officers there. I asked them if they called an ambulance. They didn't know anything." The driver of the only ambulance that arrived said that no more cars were called. Then Chicherin himself called an ambulance and ordered 70 cars, explaining that a tragedy had occurred. The cars arrived at the stadium when almost an hour had passed since the tragedy... And at that time, dozens of military trucks stood near Luzhniki, which, without waiting for the ambulances to arrive, could deliver the victims to the nearby clinics of the 1st and 2nd medical institutes. Then there would be fewer victims...
The football players became the first to perpetuate the memory of those killed at the stadium. In 1990, the first tournament dedicated to Spartak fans was held. And the evening of memory of the victims took place 20 years late - on October 20, 2000. Now on the “B” stand there is a monument “To those who died in the stadiums of the world.” But those whose loved ones did not return from the stadium after the Spartak - Haarlem match perceive it as a memorial at the site of the Luzhniki tragedy.
This text is an introductory fragment.Tennis player Andrey Chesnokov:
“Five minutes before the end of the match, everyone began to quietly leave. Spartak led 1:0, and in the second minute of added time they scored the second goal. It turned out that everyone was rolling towards the exit, and then they scored a goal, everyone stopped, someone ran back to see what had happened. Such confusion has begun.
It was dark. Someone may have fallen on the steps, someone also fell on him, and it was like a blockade - it was impossible to get out. A person is lying, there is another one on him, another one on him... Such pressure, it’s incredible. I saw it all.
I’ll be honest, everything was crunching and hurting, I thought it was the end. But I didn’t know when it would come. But I was still a tennis player, as cunning as a snake. And I climbed out of there, made some kind of movement, jumped over ten people and ended up on an island between the railings.
I stood there with some soldier, a man in military uniform, and the guys grabbed us by the legs and asked: Save us! Help! We beg! But we couldn’t do anything, because if you pull someone out of this crowd, everyone clings to him, everyone wants to live. We tried"
“On October 20, 1982, after a football match at the Grand Sports Arena of the Central Stadium named after V.I. Lenin, when spectators were leaving, as a result of a violation of the order of people’s movement, an accident occurred. There are casualties. An investigation into the circumstances of the incident is underway."
Eyewitness:
“When I was at this match, I was 14 years old. The kids died, mostly from 18 to 23. It happened like a tornado. That is, a person can stand half a meter away and not even touch a hair on his head... People were falling down the icy steps... I fell and began to choke, but the guys pulled me out. I walked away and stood by the hedges. Before my eyes, the railing began to bend and the span collapsed. They tried to hush up these events. A wave of funerals began. At the Vagankovskoye cemetery there were 5-10 processions every day.”
Eyewitness:
“It’s hard to remember. The major left one grate open and we walked through it. The stairs collapsed. It's very difficult to remember. When we moved towards the metro, we saw how the bodies were stacked"
From an interview with eyewitness Amir Khuslyutdinov “Life.ru”:
“The tragedy at Luzhniki is the main milestone in my life. That evening I turned from a child into an adult. All of us who went through this nightmare grew up quickly. In that crush, I lost my friends, the guys with whom I was cheering in the stands, my brothers, if you like, and my first love. There was evidence that fans were being pushed towards the exit. And now, imagine, a huge crowd of thousands, pushed from behind, makes its way to one single exit.
Monument to fallen fans at Luzhniki
The fans moved towards the goal in a dense stream, pressing against each other. One sharp push, another, and now someone who was weaker fell, the person walking behind tripped over him and also found himself underfoot... But the people continued to move, trampling the weak. The instinct of self-preservation is a thing that sometimes completely turns off conscience and compassion. People, surrounded on all sides by a crowd, suffocated, lost consciousness, fell... Panic grew, and no one, no one could take control of the situation.
On the very balcony where the two streams connected, there were railings. Well welded railings. However, they could not withstand the pressure large quantity people. Those who fell from the balcony escaped with broken bones. Those who remained at the top found themselves under the rubble."
