History of FCSR supportive movement
The football club Saturn Ramenskoye (FCSR) supportive movement was born at the second part of 1980-s than the team have started playing on the professional level. The organised group of fans at that ages consisted from not more than 20 people, however the first trips (Russian: выезда) to Tula, Kaluga, Pskov and other cities was already done by them in 1986.
The new age for FCSR supportive movement is connected with the year 1995. Then the famous supporter Andrey Egorishev (nicknamed "Arsenal") had began to unite fans of Saturn. It is believed that the team played in black and blue colors because of him. In 1996 Saturn had played in red and white colors. Fans who disliked these colors «because of ideological views» had many discussions - and finally chose black and blue colors. Some time after that the team changed colors too.
The first union of FCSR fans — «Dorf Menschen» (the bumpkins) - was organised in January 1996. At that moment it consisted from about 15 people, but it's size (as the size of FCSR fans in common) has been increasing. A lot of groups of fans were formed (mainly according to geographical location). Because a large number of these groups became uncontrollable, it was decided to unite them around a «Dorf Menschen». The South-East Confederation (Russian: «Юго-Восточная Конфедерация») was formed in this way. It was able to gather about one thousand supporters at the home game. At the moment the main FCSR band is "BBS firm" whose name means "Black Blue Supporters".
After beginning to play in the Highest Russian League the structure of the FCSR supportive movement has been changed a lot. There are some different unions at the moment, both hooligans and ultras, which are united by the 46 km. The main enemies of Saturn fans are fans of FC Lokomotiv Moscow, FC Shinnik Yaroslavl and FC Khimki. There is the friendship between FCSR fans and fans of Torpedo Moscow.
Lots of FCSR fans nicknames are connected with the aliens' club name. The black and blue fans themselves mostly use the nickname gumy ("гумы") (short form of Russian "гуманоид" - humanoid).
