Though a lot could be remembered as underachievers(especially internationally), Russia still produced a great group of technical midfielders during the 90s, probably one of the deepest in Europe as far as playmakers and top-notch passing midfielders are concerned.

Oleg Veretennikov
Dmitriy Alenichev
Dmitriy Loskov

Valery Karpin
Andrei Tikhonov
Valery Yesipov
Vladislav Radimov
Dmitriy khoklov
Sergei Semak
All technically gifted top players at one point or another.Who did you rate highest?favourites/least favourites etc..
I've always thought Korneev was an interesting , underrapreciated player even in Russia.He was an excellent, complete playmaker for CSKA in his early years when the league was still one of the best in Europe, then a move to severely struggling Espanyol and injuries seemed to derail his career.He was never really given a chance at Barca and past his best by the time he played in Holland, but still played well and scored a lot of good goals for Feyenoord when given a chance.
