USSR \ Russia rugby programs

[overlap]

Hi, always interesting to see your new additions.
I have found a brochure in a box of my football programmes.
It is the International Rugby Board's advanced publicity publication for the IRB Rugby Sevens in Russia 2013.

Hello ! I glad you're interested
To be honest, I did not go to the matches of this championship.
I do not like Sevens, this is not rugby, but sports ball running)
This is program of 2013 World Championship in Moscow.

Yesterday I received a rare program from Soviet era. ?ny Soviet rugby programs are rare. For example circulation of this program from Leningrad is 25 000 copies, but if 5 copies have survived to this day then it will be great ... Nobody collected them then unlike football ones. Unfortunately. In general tournaments for the prize of newspaper "Socialist Industry" were held from 1974 to 1985. Any of the programs from these tournaments are rare.
Various national teams of the USSR, national teams of Romania, Poland and Czechoslovakia played in these tournaments,
Penguins from UK, teams from Japan, Wales and Italy ....

I have always envied rugby fans of English speaking countries of the world.
Wonderful books have been released in English with statistics on the history of all matches played in England, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa ...
Nothing of the kind has been released in Russian. Some match results are unknown.
Sometimes result of a match can only be found from the spectators recordings on match program ...

I bought a pennant of my club "Slpava" Moscow in Scotland and began to correspond with the seller.



I knew about the tour of the Scottish club in the USSR,

but Moscow learned about the return visit of youth "Slava" from him for the first time.







I think everyone will agree with me that collecting is a very exciting experience!

New purchase! Rugby ball from 80s with autographs. Probably it is either VVA Monino or USSR team. Most likely VVA.
I only identified one autograph. ?15 Vladimir Bobrov
