Russian Kettlebells have become all the rage in the last few years. It doesn't get more Russian than this gentleman, who lives in a small village in the shadow of the Caucasus Mountains.

Here's something you don't see every day, an actual Russian Kettlebell contest. This one was held in Moscow, circa 1965. In these types of contests the object is to get the kettlebell (or bells, when a pair is used) overhead as many times as possible in a 10:00 time period. Usually the one-arm snatch or two arm jerk is contested and, as you can see there is certainly no lack of willing participants.
