Soviet Figure Skating Championships

The Soviet Figure Skating Championships (Russian: Чемпионат СССР по фигурному катанию) – also known as the USSR Figure Skating Championships – were an annual figure skating competition organized by the Figure Skating Federation of the USSR (Russian: Федерации фигурного катания СССР) to crown the national champions of the Soviet Union. The first Soviet Championships were held in 1924 in Moscow. Competitions were frequently interrupted early on, particularly leading up to and during World War II, and the final Soviet Championships were held in 1991 in Kyiv. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, many of the former Soviet republics held their own national figure skating championships.

Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. Sergei Chetverukhin and Alexandre Fadeev are tied for winning the most Soviet Championship titles in men's singles (with six each), Julia Katkhanova holds the record in women's singles (also with six), and Tatyana Tolmachova (née Granatkina) and Alexander Tolmachev hold the record in pair skating (with ten). Lyudmila Pakhomova and Aleksandr Gorshkov hold the record in ice dance (with six), although Pakhomova won an additional three titles with a previous partner.
