Following the collapse of the Soviet Union the team was relocated from Moscow to nearby Podolsk and changed its name, competing in the new Russian Premier League as Concern Podolsk. In 1997 it settled in Noginsk, changing its name to Spartakademklub, which was subsequently shortened to Spartak. Since 2009 it has been a regular of the FIBA Eurocup.[4]
