Following the break up of the Soviet Union, in 1992 the six Russian teams who had played in the Soviet Top League were joined by 14 teams from lower divisions to organize a 20-team Russian Top Division, that was split in two to reduce the number of games played. In 1993 the league was reduced to 18 teams and by 1994 reached the current total of sixteen.
