Zenit St. Petersburg was fined 300,000 rubles ($10,620) for a racist incident targeting former Brazil fullback Roberto Carlos in a league match last month.
A fan was seen offering a banana to the Anzhi Makhachkala captain at St. Petersburg's Petrovsky Stadium before Zenit's home league opener. Zenit won the game 2-0.
The Russian Football Union's disciplinary committee found Zenit guilty of "a racist insult and disorderly conduct," the RFU said on its web site.
The committee also fined Dynamo Moscow 300,000 rubles after their fans rioted during Saturday's league match at Volga Nizhny Novgorod. Volga was fined 200,000 rubles.
It was the latest in a series of football-related incidents in Russia, which will host the 2018 World Cup.
Violence and ethnic tension was on the agenda at a meeting by government officials on Wednesday when Prime Minister Vladimir Putin urged the Russian Football Union to work with fan groups to ensure a peaceful tournament in 2018.
"We've promised FIFA, the world and sporting communities that Russia will hold the tournament under the principles of tolerance and goodwill," Putin told officials responsible for organizing the 2018 event. "And these basic principles must be followed without any doubt or compromise."
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
