Learn to Play Gorodki

Gorodki can be described as a form of street skittles. It is a sport in Russia that has been played for centuries, but only received official rules and regulations in 1923 in order for a fair All Soviet Union Gorodki competition. It has spread to various countries, such as Estonia, Finland and Sweden, but remains a popular leisure activity in Russia that was also once enjoyed by legendary figures including Leo Tolstoy, Peter I, Joseph Stalin, Maksim Gorky and Vladimir Lenin.
