History
FC CSKA Kyiv was created in place of the Soviet football team SKA Kiev on December 15, 1992 during the reorganization of the Ukrainian military. Its first season in 1992 the club finished under its old name SKA Kiev which was changed during the summer of 1992 to ZS - Oriana (abbr. Armed Forces - Oriana). In 1993 team changed its name to ZS – Oriana (Armed Forces – Oriana) and then to CSK ZSU (Central Sport Club of Armed Forces of Ukraine). The highest place it reached in the Ukrainian championships was the fifth in the First League.
The football team has originally founded in 1934 in Kharkiv as part of the Soviet Officers' Club (later CSKA) receiving the name UVO Kharkov (Ukrainian Military District - Kharkov). During the Soviet regime the team was part of the Soviet Armed Forces sports society. At the end of 1934 the team was transferred to Kiev during the transfer of republican capital. Its name has changed to DO Kiev (Officers' Club - Kiev). In 1947–1956 the team was called ODО Kiev (District Officers' Club - Kiev) and in 1952, under this name, the team reached the semifinal stage of the Soviet National Cup. In 1957 the team played under the name ОSK Kiev (District Sports Club - Kiev). The year of 1957 is considered the official year of establishment of CSK ZSU. In 1957–1959 the Kievan army men football team was called SKVО Kiev (Sports Club Military District - Kiev) and in 1960–1971 – SKA Kiev (Sports Club of Army - Kiev). In 1972 the team moved to Chernihiv and changed its name to SK Chernigov and had moved back to Kiev in 1976 as SKА. In 1981–1982, the team had its last Soviet First League stint at the second level of Soviet football.
In the mid 90s a lot of football franchises in Ukraine went through all kinds of "shady" transactions: FC Metalurh Donetsk, FC Arsenal Kyiv, FC Shakhtar-2 Donetsk, and many others. Rearrangement of the Ukrainian Second League also played a big role in creating this confusion which brought all kinds of new and successful franchises out of nowhere. Such strange substitution keep on happening in case of the new FC Lviv, FC Spartak Ivano-Frankivsk, and FC Podillya Khmelnytskiy. They directly contradict the rules of the Fair Play.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The custard is setting; meanwhile
I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“It may be well to remember that the highest level of moral aspiration recorded in history was reached by a few ancient Jews—Micah, Isaiah, and the rest—who took no count whatever of what might not happen to them after death. It is not obvious to me why the same point should not by and by be reached by the Gentiles.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
““And now this is the way in which the history of your former life has reached my ears!” As he said this he held out in his hand the fatal letter.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
