The Cuban Wilfredo León remained in Kazan due to injury, but it didn’t affect the attacking power of the second placed team in the standings, because a week of training left Evgeniy Sivozhelez in good shape.
Zenit’s coach Vladimir Alekno also decided to give a rest to the captain Nikolay Apalikov.
Maxim Mikhailov scored 18 (12/15 in the attack – 80% and 5 aces) and Sivozhelez 12 points for Zenit while Sergiy Tyutlin had 15 in Yugra-Samotlor.
Third placed Dinamo Moscow was successful as well and beat Neftyanik Orenburg in three sets while the last member of the Russian great quartet, Lokomotiv Novosibirsk, smashed Fakel Noviy Urengoy at home in a derby.
