For Daugava he played two years and then he moved to Spartak Moscow which was then playing together with Daugava in the first Soviet league and was undergoing a hard time with generation of players change. The mobile midfielder with a good pass came in handy for the Konstantin Beskov side and in 1977 with Shavlo Spartak returned to the top division and in 1979 - won the Soviet championship. In 1986 Shavlo moved to Torpedo Moscow with which he won the Soviet Cup.
