Personal life edit

Razinsky was born in Lyubertsy, Russia, and died in Moscow.[3][4] He was Jewish.[5][6] In 2009, Razinsky attended the 2009 Maccabiah Games to watch his grandson participate in the under-18 football competition. Razinsky's visit was marred by a brawl between the Russian and Argentine sides and both squads were told not to return for the 2013 Maccabiah Games.[7]

Football career edit

Razinsky played both as a goalkeeper and as a striker (usually keeping one specific position while playing at the same club). He played in goal for the national team as a backup to Lev Yashin.[1] His club from 1954 to 1961 was CSKA Moskva, with whom he earned three bronzes at the Soviet championships in 1955, 1956, and 1958, and the Soviet Cup in 1955.[3]

International career edit

Razinsky made his debut for USSR on October 23, 1955, in a friendly against France.

He and the national team won the gold medal at the 1956 Olympics.[8]
