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 triumphed in the first FIVB Men’s World Championship and have been dominating the international scene ever since, having won three Summer Olympics, six World Championships, Four World Cups and 12 European Championships.
