A paradox of the Russian Premier League: three players from CSKA won medals, while the army players remained without any awards.
Three players from CSKA became winners of the Russian Premier League, along with other clubs.

The concluded season of the Russian Premier League presented rare statistical anomalies for the fans. Winter transfers and the rules regarding award distribution created a situation where players who started the season in Moscow received medals from direct competitors.
• Gondou became champion, playing 14 matches for Zenit in the fall.
• Kozlov won silver, as he also played for Krasnodar in the fall.
• Barinov won bronze with his hometown team Lokomotiv, as Spartak failed to defeat Machaakal.

CSKA itself finished in 5th place in the Russian Premier League, leaving all other football players without any awards. This situation highlights how unpredictable domestic football can be. Personnel decisions and rules-related complications directly affect the achievements of players.
