Quick Facts Season, Champions ...

It started on May 12 with six games of the first round. The main calendar was scheduled to be finished on October 19 with the Moscow derby between Lokomotiv and Dynamo. However, due to numerous protests and postponed games the championship finished on November 30 in Tbilisi with game between Dynamo Tbilisi and Dynamo Odessa. The new champions became Spartak Moscow with two teams being relegated: Elektrik Leningrad and Dynamo Odessa. This was the first full season championship with each team playing over 25 games.

The last year defending champions were Spartak Moscow. There were no newly promoted teams and initially was decided to conduct the championship with 12 teams. However the Soviet sport committee allowed for two Leningrad teams Stalinets and Elektrik to remain in the league.

Spartak once again won the cup competition that started in summer with final played in mid-September. That was the last edition of the cup before World War II.
