Composition
The "Big CSKA" had several teams in many sports, but now all of them are private clubs:
- For the football club, see PFC CSKA Moscow.
- For the futsal club, see MFK CSKA Moscow.
- For the ice hockey club, see HC CSKA Moscow.
- For the volleyball club, see VC CSKA Moscow.
- For the men's basketball club, see PBC CSKA Moscow.
- For the women's basketball club, see WBC CSKA Moscow.
VC CSKA and WBC CSKA were disbanded in 2009.
The CSKA has also been home to many elite figure skaters, including Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov. Elena Mukhina, a world champion artistic gymnast, was also a club member.

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“When I think of God, when I think of him as existent, and when I believe him to be existent, my idea of him neither increases nor diminishes. But as it is certain there is a great difference betwixt the simple conception of the existence of an object, and the belief of it, and as this difference lies not in the parts or composition of the idea which we conceive; it follows, that it must lie in the manner in which we conceive it.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Every thing in his composition was little; and he had all the weaknesses of a little mind, without any of the virtues, or even the vices, of a great one.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“I live in the angle of a leaden wall, into whose composition was poured a little alloy of bell-metal. Often, in the repose of my mid-day, there reaches my ears a confused tintinnabulum from without. It is the noise of my contemporaries.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
