Luzhniki Stadium

This guide to Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow returns to the night of October 20, 1982, when Spartak Moscow hosted Haarlem in the UEFA Cup on a freezing, half-empty ground then called Central Lenin Stadium. It follows the single open exit stairway police left for the crowd, and the scramble that began when fans heading out collided with fans rushing back in after a late goal. A journalist who was there recalls what he saw on the stairs that night, and a mother who searched for her son long after the final whistle.
