The winter break in Poland's Ekstraklasa gave Vladimir Latunov and his in-form Legia Warszawa players a chance to reflect on their strong start to season two of the Soviet Surge. After 19 games of the 34-game season, Legia were unbeaten and 13 points clear at the top.
After winning the Polish FA Cup for the first time in Zaglebie Lubin's history and a terrible conclusion to the league campaign, Russian manager Valdimir Lutunov swiftly jumped ship when rivals Legia Warszawa came calling.
The long, cold Winter break in Poland gave me time to get over the wrath I felt towards Nicklas Bendtner. However, it came too late to stop me unleashing that fury upon some of his high-earning former Zaglebie Lubin teammates.
In the first part of this brand new save surging into the former Soviet Union, we created a Russian manager and selected our first club - Polish side KGHM Zuglebie Lubin.
Welcome to a brand new save here on the FM Addict Football Manager blog! We're casting our eyes east for this adventure, as we embark on a Soviet Surge across Eastern Europe.
