The team enjoyed its golden era in the 1960s, winning the third edition of the European Cup[1] and five of the seven first editions of the Soviet Championship. Luch gradually declined in subsequent years, making it into the championship's top three for the last time in 1975.[2]

Following the break-up of the Soviet Union Luch has played in the Russian Super League. The team has appeared occasionally in European competitions since, with the 1998 Cup Winners' Cup's quarter-finals and the 2001 Challenge Cup's semifinals as its best results. It last appeared in the 2009 Cup Winners' Cup.[3] Most recently it was 7th in the 2012 championship's regular stage.[4]
