What is the history of fencing in Russia

Fencing, the art of swordplay, has a rich history in Russia dating back to the Middle Ages. During the reign of Ivan the Terrible (1547-1584), fencing became an important part of military training and was practiced by both the nobility and commoners. The first fencing schools in Russia were established in the 17th century, and by the 18th century, fencing had become a popular pastime among the upper classes.

In the 19th century, Russian fencing began to develop its own unique style, influenced by both Western European and Asian techniques. Russian fencers became known for their speed, agility, and precision. In 1896, Russian fencer Aleksandr Petrovski became the first Russian to win an Olympic medal in fencing, a silver medal in the épée event.

After the Russian Revolution in 1917, fencing continued to be popular in the Soviet Union. Soviet fencers dominated international competitions throughout the 20th century, winning numerous Olympic and world championships. Some of the most famous Soviet fencers include Viktor Sidyak, Vladimir Nazlymov, and Galina Gorohova.

In modern Russia, fencing remains a popular sport, and Russian fencers continue to compete at the highest levels of international competition. Russian fencers have won the most Olympic medals of any nation, with a total of 49 gold medals.
