Origin
and identity

Maxim Mikhaylov's reliable right-side scoring joined Russian national-team success with a long championship career at Kazan.

A senior debut in 2008 led quickly to Olympic bronze and, four years later, gold in London. He remained a central attacking option through world and European competitions.

His club work with Zenit Kazan brought repeated continental success. The 2018 Champions League victory at home stood among the milestones of that extended partnership.
