Dynamo (volleyball club, Chelyabinsk)

The Torpedo team was created in Chelyabinsk in 1986 at the eponymous sports palace of the forge-and-press factory. Coach Vladimir Stepanovich Suslin and director of the Torpedo Sports Palace Anatoly Alekseevich Poroshin, the first mentor of Vadim Khamuttskikh, stood at its origins. The torpedo team started their sports career in the second league of the USSR championship , and in 1994, taking 2nd place in the first Russian league, they won the right to move to the highest league of the Russian championship . In the division of the strongest Chelyabinsk had one season in which they won only one victory with 25 defeats and took the last, 12th place.

After flying out of the big leagues, Torpedo results have declined. At the end of the 1997/98 season, the outcome of which was the transition to the lower professional division - the first league, Anatoly Makagonov was invited to the position of senior coach of Torpedo, and Stanislav Karavatsky, the winner of the 1995 World Youth Championship, reinforced the team. Under the guidance of an experienced tandem of mentors Suslin - Makagonov, the torpedo team entered the big league “B”, in the 1999/2000 season they took the 5th place in the final tournament, and a year later they became its winners, winning a ticket to the big league “A”. However, the team failed to gain a foothold in the sub-elite division - in the 2001/02 season, volleyball players from Tankograd took the penultimate place and returned to League B. The leaders of Torpedo during this period were Stanislav Karavatsky, Denis Sverzolenko, Ivan Gorodilov, Alexander Latyshev, Denis Nikolayev, Edward Derevyannykh, Konstantin Shchepilov. In 2003, a pupil of the club, Alexander Chernyshev as part of the junior team of Russia, became the winner of the European Championship in Zagreb .

Having played six seasons under the leadership of Anatoly Makagonov in the Premier League “B”, the Chelyabinsk team played in the first league since 2008, and in 2011, after merging the divisions, it was again in League “B”. Having received sponsorship, the club solved financial problems that hindered its development for many years. Before the start of the 2012/13 season, the team and its mentor Nikolai Leonidovich Kuravkin were set to go to the big league "A" ^[1] , but could not be reached right away - Torpedo took fifth place in the semifinals of the Vostok zone. In the offseason, Vladimir Nikolaevich Babakin took the Chelyabinsk team, Kuravkin became his assistant, the team also underwent significant changes, which in particular was reinforced by a graduate of the Chelyabinsk youth school No. 12, the bronze medalist of the U23 World Championship diagonal Bogdan Glivenko. Together with him, Dmitry Krasilnikov, the binder, moved from the Lokomotiv Novosibirsk double, and the blocking Artyom Kiselev from Samotlor . In the season 2013/14, Torpedo became the best team in the Vostok zone and the second in the final of the big league “B”, and then excelled in the transition tournament, winning the right to return to the big league “A” ^[2] .

In the summer of 2014, Alexey Eduardovich Rudakov, who had previously headed the Sport Academy-VRZ ( Sterlitamak ), was invited to the position of head coach of Torpedo. The pre-player Vyacheslav Suvorov and the blocking Nikita Luchin from Gazprom-Ugra , the diagonal Alexander Zhumaatiy from Krymsoda , the replay player Evgeny Bannov from the Sports School Lokomotiv , the blocking Igor Nikiforov from the Yenisei came to the team. For home matches, the team moved from the Torpedo Sports Palace to the more spacious Metar-Sport Palace. In the championship of the Higher League "A" Chelyabinsk volleyball players finished in fifth place, exceeding the task set for them ^{[3] [4]} . In the 2016/17 season, the team was not so successful due to injuries of a number of players and took the 7th place.

In the summer of 2017, the Chelyabinsk Torpedo was renamed Dynamo ^[5] . In the season 2017/18, the wards of Alexey Rudakov finished on the 2nd line in the standings and got the right to fight with three teams of the Super League in the transitional tournament for entering the strongest division.
