One of the most well-known Bogatyrs or legendary warriors in Russian mythology is Dobrynya Nikitich. Although made up, this figure is based on Dobrynya, a historical warrior who commanded the forces of Svyatoslav the Great and educated his son Vladimir the Great. Dobrynya accomplishing the tasks given to him by prince Vladimir is the focus of many byliny. Dobrynya is frequently presented as conducting delicate and delicate missions while being intimate to the ruling household. Dobrynya appears to be a dignitary who represents the noble class of soldiers. He competes in wrestling, swimming and archery professionally. He is renowned for his politeness and shrewdness and performs the gusli and tafl. The bylina begins with mother of Dobrynya admonishing her son to stay away from the Saracen Mountains, not step on young dragons, refrain from freeing Russian prisoners and refrain from taking a dip in the Puchai River. Dobrynya accomplished all tasks against the will of his mother. He met a dragon with twelve trunks while taking a swim in the Puchai River. Dobrynya, who was without arms, helpless and in need, found a hat from the Greek land and used it to slay the dragon. The dragon, who appeared to be a female, begged Dobrynya not to slaughter her and the two agreed to refrain from attacking one another. Right after this, the dragon violated her word and went to Kiev, where she kidnapped Zabava Putyatishna, the niece of Prince Vladimir. Dobrynya came to Kiev and Prince Vladimir gave him orders to save his niece. Dobrynya stomped on the dragon babies while freeing several prisoners, although one of them bit into the leg of his horse and rendered it incapacitated. Dobrynya recalled the miracle whip, whose lashes gave the horse new life and allowed him to run free. The dragon now came out indignant about the deaths of her young and she was not going to give Zabava up easily. For three days, Dobrynya battled the dragon in the Saracen Mountains. He was ready to give up and depart on the third day, but a revelation from heaven encouraged him to continue fighting for three more hours. Dobrynya spent three days wallowing in the pool since the blood of the dragon did not permeate the soil. He was eventually instructed to pierce his spear and utter an invocation by a voice from Heaven. Zabava was now saved since the ground eventually ingested the blood.
