IV Russian Football Championship (1995), Premier League (Vysshaya Liga)

16 teams were playing in Vysshaya Liga (First Division), "Spartak-Alaniya" become the Champion for the first time, "Dinamo-Gazovik" relegated. "Baltika" (Kaliningrad), "Lada" (Togliatti) and "Zenit" (St.Petersburg) promoted from the First League, so there will be 18 teams in 1996.

Russia will have four teams in the UEFA Cup (EC3) and two teams in the Intertoto Cup. At present "Lokomotiv" (Moscow), "Spartak" (Moscow), "Dinamo" (Moscow) and "Torpedo" are candidates to play in EC3. CSKA and "Rotor" could participate Intertoto Cup. But all these teams, except of "Torpedo", have chances to win the Russian Cup. In this case "Uralmash" will get a place in the Intertoto Cup
