Lokomotiv finished 8th in 1994 and 1996 before being relegated after the 1997 season, during which it reached the semifinal of the Intertoto Cup.[1] However, the club won promotion back immediately and spent another two seasons in the Premier League (1999 and 2000). After finishing last in the 2001 First Division, the club was relegated. Before starting in the Second League it folded.
