More than 800 police will maintain public order at Monday's football match between Zenit St. Petersburg and Anzhi Makhachkala, a game being played behind closed doors.
Zenit are serving the second in a two-match empty-stadium order after their fans were accused of throwing a flare onto the pitch that injured a player.
"Security at the stadium and in the surrounding territory will be provided by 882 law enforcement officials and 64 members of the private security firms," Zenit said on their website.
While high, the figure is less than half of the police deployed in the first game behind closed doors against CSKA Moscow last month.
It is at roughly times greater than the number present at English Premier League games, where no more than 200 to 300 officers police the top matches, though they are assisted by one stadium steward for every 250 fans.
Russia plans to introduce professional stewards in the near future.
