History

Due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, all Russian clubs of the former Soviet Premier Division and Soviet First Division conformed a single Russian Top Division, which meant that the new second tier of Russian football would remain regionalized. For the first two seasons three regional groups conformed the second tier, until in 1994 the single table in use today began to be used.
