Rubin Kazan
In August 2012 Rondón signed for Russian team FC Rubin Kazan, for a reported fee of €10 million which made him the most expensive Venezuelan player in history. He made his Premier League debut on the 12th in a 2–0 home win over FC Dynamo Moscow, and he scored his first goal against FC Terek Grozny on 1 September, albeit in a 1–2 home defeat.
Rondón made his first appearance in the UEFA Europa League against Inter Milan, and he scored once in a 2–2 group stage away draw, also playing the entire match. In the second game between the two sides he netted a brace in the final three minutes, helping his team to a 3–0 win.
On 10 March 2013, following the winter break in the Russian Premier League, Rondón scored the only goal of the game as Rubin claimed a home victory over reigning champions Zenit St. Petersburg. In continental competition, he opened up the scoring in the 100th minute of the round-of-16 clash against Levante UD, latching on to a cross from Bibras Natkho as the hosts won it 2–0 (also the aggregate score). On 19 April, Rondón opened the scoring for Rubin as the club fell to a 1-1 draw with relegation threatened Amkar Perm. In the club's next league match against CSKA Moscow on 28 April, Rondón netted the opening goal in a 2-0 victory over the league leaders, giving Rubin a vital three points in the race for European football.

Famous quotes containing the word rubin:
“Whereas children can learn from their interactions with their parents how to get along in one sort of social hierarchy—that of the family—it is from their interactions with peers that they can best learn how to survive among equals in a wide range of social situations.”
—Zick Rubin (20th century)
