RussiaCounted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.
Nikita Pavlovich Simonyan was a Soviet and Russian football striker and coach of Armenian descent. He spent most of his career at Spartak Moscow, where he was top scorer of all time with 160 goals. He played for the Soviet Union national team, winning the gold medal at the 1956 Olympics and reaching the quarter-finals of the 1958 FIFA World Cup. As a manager, he won the Soviet Top League with Ararat Yerevan in 1973. — Wikipedia
