Why do I rarely hear anything about Russian swords and swordsmanship?
>>
>>3277701
Because you're not from Russia. Anyways, the Russians, along with the Poles, introduced the saber to the West.

I think not.
Longsword is expensive infantry weapon and required heavy armor to use without shield.
Russian main force was cavalry and their armor was light.
