I have decided to pick a favorite Russian club. My Ukrainian side is of course my half-hometown homeside Metalist Kharkov, but since we also get Russian football on Television there it has been deemed necessary to choose a favorite. It was a difficult decision at first. I thought I could do it geographically, which would leave supporting Rostov. This would be difficult since they were just recently relegated. Or I could go with my relation in Kavkaz and pick Krasnodar or Nalchik, or to be even more adventurous Grozny. To pick a Moscow team would have been to simple, besides, Moscow is almost a completely different country than the rest of Russia. Despite my affinity for St. Petersburg as a city, I had to pass on Zenit because of their new ownership by Gazprom. In the end I decided to go with my city of birth's sister city's not so successful FC Luch Energia Vladivostok. Vladivostok will now have my full support in all Russian league competitions and my prayers that they will avoid relegation.
Real Corona, I regret to inform you that you have made a grave error. You will regret not choosing, Shinnik Yaroslavl, the next champion or Russia, for the rest of your life!
having spent a week in Vladivostok, I approve of your decision. You couldn't have chosen a closer city in Russia to my current place of residence.
I would have preferred a club in Petropovlosk Kamchatka, Magadan or Yakutsk. But I guess I will have to be a Far East Front runner.
