FC Saturn Ramenskoye () is a Russian professional football club, based in the town of Ramenskoye in Moscow Oblast. It is also sometimes referred to as FC Saturn Moscow Region ().
History The club was founded in 1946. Although the club is based in Ramenskoye, it represents all of the Moscow Oblast. Due to huge debts it was dissolved in January 2011, but was recreated on the base of FC Saturn-2 Moscow Region. It returned to the Russian Professional Football League in the 2013–14 season. Before the 2015–16 season, the club didn't receive the professional license and moved back to amateur levels. It returned to the third-tier once again for the 2016–17 season.
It was previously called Krylya Sovetov (1946–1957), Trud (1958–1959), Saturn (from 1960 to 2002, from 2004 to 2023 and from 2025) and Saturn-REN TV (February 2002 to January 2004). In July 2023, the club was renamed to "Leon Saturn" due to a sponsorship deal with bookmaker Leon. The sponsorship deal ended at the end of 2024, with the club reverting to their historical name. In 2006 the club beat the record of drawn matches played in the Russian Premier League during one season - 16 times.

Supporters
The football club Saturn Ramenskoye supporters movement was born in the second part of the 1980s when the team started playing on the professional level. The organised group of fans at that time consisted of not more than 20 people. The new age for FCSR supportive movement is connected with the year 1995. The famous local supporter Andrey Egorishev had begun to unite fans of Saturn. It is believed that the team played in black and blue colors because of him. In 1996 Saturn had played in red and white colors.
The first union of FCSR fans – Dorf Menschen ("Village People") – was organised in January 1996. Because a large number of these groups became uncontrollable, it was decided to unite them. Many FCSR fans' nicknames are connected with the aliens' club name. The black and blue fans themselves mostly use the nickname Gumy (short form of Russian "гуманоид" – humanoid).
