No weapons for me, unless you listen to Yurio when he calls our skates "knife shoes". I would not recommend them as actual weapons though.

As for famous weapons, hmm ... I suppose there's меч-кладенец—ah, that's the sword Kladenets in English. It's the "self-swinging sword" in some Old Russian fairy tales. There's some other weapons mentions in fairy tales like that, but none of them mentioned as often as that one.

And sleep is absolutely not for the weak! It can be as beneficial as any sort of training regimen.
