The Russian Women's Volleyball Super League, is the highest professional women's volleyball league in Russia. It is organized and administered by the Russian Volleyball Federation.

History

The dissolution of the Soviet Union in late 1991 brought an end to all sports leagues played in the Soviet Union, including the Soviet Women's Volleyball Championship. The national league was created by the Russian Volleyball Federation as a continuation of the Soviet Championships. The 1991–92 inaugural season had the participation of clubs based in the Russian Commonwealth and Yugoslavia. From the second season onwards only clubs based in Russia were allowed to compete.[]

This is how the League changed its name and structure through time.
