Dinamo Moscow (Russian: ЖВК Дина́мо Москва́) is a Russian women's volleyball club based in Moscow and currently plays in the Super League, the top Russian league. It was established in 1926 and dissolved in 1992, but recreated in 2004. It is the most successful team in USSR women's volleyball history with 14 Championship titles and the most successful team in the CEV Women's Champions League history with 11 titles.
The club was created in 1926, when Dinamo Moscow decided to establish a women's volleyball section from its sports club. Its first participation in the USSR Championship was 1940, finishing in seventh place. The championship was not held from 1941 until 1944 due to the World War II, but once it resumed in 1945 the club began achieving success under the trainer Nikolai Nikolaevich Benderovu, winning the titles in 1947, 1951, 1953, 1954 and 1955. During that same period the club also won the USSR Cups of 1950, 1951 and 1953.
From 1957 to 1965 the club had a new coach, Serafim Georgievna Kundirenko who took the team to winning the USSR Championships of 1960 and 1962. The introduction of the a new premier club competition involving clubs from around Europe called European Cup (now known as CEV Champions League), provided an opportunity for the club to compete against teams from across the continent. Dinamo Moscow won the inaugural edition in 1960–61 as well as the 1962–63 and 1964–65 editions to begin to establish itself as one of the strongest women's volleyball clubs in Europe at the time. In 1966 Anatoly Sergeyevich Sarkisov takes charge of the team who wins the 1967–68 European Cup.
