Gelferikh Sade Factory[]
It represented the engine factory Gelferikh Sade that existed since 1875 in Kharkiv and produced agricultural equipment. In 1918 the factory was nationalised and in 1922 it was renamed Hammer and Sickle (Russian: Серп и молот). Since the fall of the Soviet Union, the factory remained a state company. In 2005 it was announced bankrupt.
Soviet era[]
In 1919 Sade FC was reformed into FC Serp i Molot Kharkiv.
In 1936 the Sickle and Mallet Factory fielded another football team in the Soviet Group B championship called FC Silmash Kharkiv.
In 1941 the club was temporarily merged with FC Dynamo Kharkiv to form FC Spartak Kharkiv. Dynamo Kharkiv was dissolved as part of Dynamo sports society representation that took place in 1940 and included such clubs as FC Dynamo Odessa and FC Dynamo Dnipropetrovsk. Previously, another FC Spartak has already participated in the Soviet Group A competitions (later Soviet Top League), yet was dissolved upon relegation in 1938.
There is information that after World War II, FC Silmash Kharkiv was revived in lower league competitions, yet its further fate is uncertain.
