International Career
Kanchelskis was capped 23 times for the USSR, scoring three goals. He scored, on November 1991 in Cyprus, the last goal in USSR national team history. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union Kanchelskis chose to represent Russia, considered the USSR's official successor team by FIFA, despite being Ukrainian by birth. After leading a player boycott against Russia's head coach Pavel Sadyrin and therefore missing the 1994 FIFA World Cup, the only senior major international tournaments Kanchelskis played in were Euro 92 (for CIS) and Euro 96. Overall, Kanchelskis earned 59 international caps, scoring seven times.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
