The Moscow Proletarian Sports Society "Dynamo" (П.С.О. Динамо) was founded in 1923 in Moscow. The society was established at the initiative of the GPU (Г.П.У.) employees to provide an opportunity for employees of the security and law enforcement agencies to play sports. For this "cops" Dynamo teased for many years. Blue and white were chosen as the club colors in 1924. It is believed that the choice was influenced by the first honorary chairman of the society, the head of the NKVD Felix Dzerzhinsky: the combination of these colors was supposed to emphasize his words about the bright and pure thoughts of the employees of the organization that he leads. Do not confuse the Moscow club Dynamo with the club of the same name from Kiev, created a few years later. These are different clubs, although both were created by the GPU around the same time.
