Composition
The "Big CSKA" had several teams in many sports, but now all of them are private clubs:
- For the football club, see PFC CSKA Moscow.
- For the futsal club, see MFK CSKA Moscow.
- For the ice hockey club, see HC CSKA Moscow.
- For the volleyball club, see VC CSKA Moscow.
- For the men's basketball club, see PBC CSKA Moscow.
- For the women's basketball club, see WBC CSKA Moscow.
VC CSKA and WBC CSKA were disbanded in 2009.
The CSKA has also been home to many elite figure skaters, including Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov. Elena Mukhina, a world champion artistic gymnast, was also a club member.

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“There is singularly nothing that makes a difference a difference in beginning and in the middle and in ending except that each generation has something different at which they are all looking. By this I mean so simply that anybody knows it that composition is the difference which makes each and all of them then different from other generations and this is what makes everything different otherwise they are all alike and everybody knows it because everybody says it.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“If I don’t write to empty my mind, I go mad. As to that regular, uninterrupted love of writing ... I do not understand it. I feel it as a torture, which I must get rid of, but never as a pleasure. On the contrary, I think composition a great pain.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Give a scientist a problem and he will probably provide a solution; historians and sociologists, by contrast, can offer only opinions. Ask a dozen chemists the composition of an organic compound such as methane, and within a short time all twelve will have come up with the same solution of CH4. Ask, however, a dozen economists or sociologists to provide policies to reduce unemployment or the level of crime and twelve widely differing opinions are likely to be offered.”
—Derek Gjertsen, British scientist, author. Science and Philosophy: Past and Present, ch. 3, Penguin (1989)
