"With the exception of Russia, no other former Soviet Republic has had as much baseball success as the Ukraine. From the start, Russia and Ukraine showed the most baseball skill in the former USSR. In June 1987, the Tass News Agency reported that Moscow's Aviation Institute defeated the Ukraine's Kiev Startak Club to win the first Soviet national baseball tournament."
