Legends of Sambo, also known as The Legend of Sambo (Russian: Легенда о самбо, romanized: Legenda o sambo) is a 2023 Russian biographical sports-drama by Andrey Bogatyrev which tells the story of the origins of the Soviet martial art Sambo.[2][3]

Plot

[edit]

The events take place in 1936 at the Moscow Spartakiad, where the strongest team of wrestlers was announced. Two martial arts masters collided in a decisive duel. One of them is Vasili Oshchepkov, who from an early age was involved in martial arts and studied judo with the best trainers in Japan. The other is Russo-Japanese War veteran Viktor Spiridonov (Dmitry Pavlenko), who has developed several techniques for self-defense. Both athletes are the key creators of the national wrestling called Sambo. Young and promising wrestler Anatoly Kharlampiyev is Oschepkov's disciple. Oschepkov is arrested and executed as a supposed Japanese spy. In the end Kharlampiyev is shown to continue the legacy of the Sambo movement.

Reception

[edit]

Aleksei Komarov in a positive review for KinoReporter wrote - "In fact, Bogatyrev again made a kind of comic book film (previous - The Red Ghost), only now he was inspired by the traditions of constructivism, avant-garde, and the style of Soviet posters of the 1930s".[4]
