Career
Cherednyk was born in Dushanbe, at that time "Stalinabad". His parents moved to Tajikistan in the 1930s, his father came from near Volgograd and his mother from near Penza.[1] To football, Cherednyk arrived by coming into a local sports school in Dushanbe as a companion to his friend.[1] Initially, he started as a goalkeeper, but, due to his height, he was reassigned as a defender.[1] His first coach was Vladimir Maksakov.[1] To Pamir, Cherednyk arrived in 1977 when the team was managed by Ishtvan Sekech.[1]
In late 1982, when Pamir was playing a few matches back-to-back in Ukraine (Zaporizhia – Nikopol) during the 1982 Soviet First League season, Cherednyk was snatched from under the nose of Dinamo Moscow by the Dnipro scouts.[1][2]
