Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Russian fist fighting (Russian - Кулачный бой, Kulachniy Boy) is an ancient Russian combat sport similar to modern boxing. It has existed since the times of Kievan Rus', but has since lost much of its popularity in the 20th Century. The earliest accounts concerning the sport indicate it was developed as late as the 13th Century. Before the Christianization of Kievan Rus', fist fighting contests were often held at celebrations dedicated to Perun. That is why the Metropholite Kiril, in 1274, created another one of many personally-instituted rules, declaring expulsion from Christianity for any of those who fist-fight and do not sing a prayer or hymn at the burial of someone who died during a fist fight. The government itself never supported, but also never opposed fist fighting.
