About these games
The USSR Championship had a deep qualifying system, and far fewer games survive from the preliminary groups than from the finals. This page lists the games that survive and does not try to reconstruct an official table from them.
Standings worked out from these games cover only the games that survive. Unless a cited source gives the full result, they are not the event's final table.
