The Russia men's national volleyball team is governed by the Russian Volleyball Federation and took part in international volleyball competitions.
FIVB considers Russia as the inheritor of the records of Soviet Union (1948–1991) and CIS (1992). The USSR Volleyball Federation joined the FIVB in 1948, a year after the foundation of the international governing body. The following year they sent a team to compete in the first FIVB Men’s World Championship and have been dominating the international scene ever since, having won six World Championships, four Olympic Games, six World Cups and 14 European Championships (medals of Russian and the Soviet union combined).
On 28 February 2022, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and in accordance with a "recommendation" by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), FIVB and CEV suspended the participation of Russia in their competitions.
History
The USSR Volleyball Federation joined the FIVB in 1948, and the following year they sent a team to compete in the first World Championship. At this championship, the Soviet Union won its first World Championship title with a perfect record of eight victories, while Czechoslovakia finished in second place.
