Anatoli Vasilyevich Bashashkin (Russian:Анатолий Васильевич Башашкин; 23 February 1924,Reutovo,Moscow Governorate,Russia – 27 July 2002,Moscow,Russia) was a Soviet and Russian footballer in the 1940s and 1950s and a football coach later. He played as a central defender.
He was captain of the Soviet Union at the1952 Olympics, but following their politically embarrassing defeat toYugoslavia he was stripped of the captaincy.
In 1947–1953 Bashashkin was a member of theCDKA team that won four domestic titles in the 1940s and earlier 1950s (1947, 1948, 1950, 1951), but following the 1952 Olympics the team was disbanded byJoseph Stalin. After that he moved toSpartak Moscow in 1953. After Stalin's death he returned to CDKA (renamed CDSA at that time) in 1954 and played there until 1958. Bashashkin was part of the USSR team which won the1956 Olympic football title.[1] He wonUSSR Gold medals five times (four times with CDKA in 1947, 1948, 1950, 1951 and once with Spartak in 1953) andSoviet Cup three times (1948, 1951, 1955).
He was noted for his ability on the ball, physical strength and his long-range passing, which started countless counterattacks.
After retirement from football Bashashkin graduated from theMalinovsky Military Armored Forces Academy and served inUkraine as a tank military officer of theSoviet Army. Later he returned to football as a coach. Bashahkin was the main coach ofPakhtakor Tashkent FK in 1976 and he was an assistant coach (underKonstantin Beskov) ofFC Spartak Moscow in 1981. According to journalist Pavel Alyoshin, Bashashkin was not very successful as a coach, spending much time telling the players of the 1970s and 80s how inferior they were compared to the footballers of the 1950s.[2]
