The current name dates from 1936, when Bolshevik joined the Zenit sports society, and the first honours came in 1944 with the war-time USSR Cup, won against CSKA Moscow. The Soviet League title followed in 1984. Zenit were relegated in 1992, after one year of the Russian League, and returned in 1996. Gazprom took a controlling stake in December 2005. Dick Advocaat arrived in July 2006, the 2007 league title followed, and on 29 August 2008 Zenit beat Manchester United 2–1 in Monaco to become the first Russian winners of the UEFA Super Cup. A sixth title in a row came on 25 May 2024.
