The first national bandy championship in the then Soviet Union was held in 1936 but wasn't resumed for the next 14 years. Starting in 1950, the Soviet Union Bandy Championship became annual and continued to exist up until the 1990-91 season, when mid-season, the Soviet Union was dissolved, so the 1991 champion was instead named Champion of the
Commonwealth of Independent States. For the following season, 1991–92, the
Russian Bandy League was formed and the champion has since become Russian Champion. The league is ended with a play-off for the Russian Bandy Championship. Starting with the 2011-12 season, the league was rearranged and renamed the
Russian Bandy Super League. Until the 2008-09 season, a
bronze game was held, but since then, the third place is shared by the two semi-final losing teams. ==List of winners==
