Initially still used in the second team Zenit-2 in the third Russian league, he was used in the semifinals of the UI Cup 2000 for the first time in a competitive game of the first team.

That year he also won his first title, the Russian League Cup.

In the following season , with ten goals and eleven assists, he played a major role in Zenit's first championship since the 1980s, a success that was surpassed in spring 2008 by winning the UEFA Cup .
