Country Soviet Union
Years active1920–92

The Soviet Figure Skating Championships (Russian: Чемпионат СССР по фигурному катанию) were an annual figure skating competition to crown the national champions of the Soviet Union. The first Soviet Championships were held in 1920 in Saint Petersburg (then called Leningrad), while the final Soviet Championships were held in 1991 in Kyiv. Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior and junior levels.

Sergei Chetverukhin and Alexandre Fadeev are tied for winning the most Soviet Championship titles in men's singles (with six each), Julia Katkhanova holds the record in women's singles (also with six), and Tatyana Tolmachova and Alexander Tolmachev hold the record in pair skating (with ten). Lyudmila Pakhomova and Aleksandr Gorshkov hold the record in ice dance (with six), although Pakhomova won an additional three titles with a previous partner.

History

[edit]

The Soviet Union was established in 1922 following World War I and the Russian Revolution. The Soviet Figure Skating Championships were held between 1920 and 1941, with frequent interruptions leading up to World War II. The competitions were held without interruption from 1945 to 1992. The last installment of the Soviet Championships were held in Kyiv, in what was then the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, in December 1991.[1] After the collapse of the Soviet Union in December 1991, Russia and the other twelve Soviet republics emerged as independent nations.

The figure skating competitions at the 1974 Spartakiad of the Peoples of the USSR served as the 1974 Soviet Championships.[2] Likewise, the figure skating competitions at the 1978 Spartakiad served as the 1978 Soviet Championships.[3]
