There was no basketball at all in St. Petersburg until Lev Valeryanovich personally, through his own channels, agreed to transport Triumph with its entire structure to the northern capital. He gave St. Petersburg a ready-made brand, a ready-made team, which from the first year became an irritant for the leaders. Then a lot of money was paid and Zenit is now a champion club. I would like St. Petersburg not to forget who is behind this team, that would be true,” Eremin said in an interview with .
