Three famous Russian bogatyrs - Dobrynya Nikitich, Ilya Muromets and Alyosha Popovich

bogatyr (plural bogatyrs or bogatyri)

( historical ) A medieval heroic warrior in Kievan Rus, akin to the Western European knight-errant. 1998 , James Bailey, Tatyana Ivanova (translators and editors), An Anthology of Russian Folk Epics , page 17, There was no answer from the bogatyr . Ilya shouted even louder than before, Louder than before, in a shrill voice— There was no answer from the bogatyr .

, James Bailey, Tatyana Ivanova (translators and editors), , page 17, 2011 , Rosamund Bartlett, Tolstoy: A Russian Life , Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, page 2: Later on, he [Tolstoy] was equated with Ilya Muromets, the most famous Russian bogatyr - a semi-mythical medieval warrior who lay at home on the brick stove until he was thirty-three - then went on to perform great feats defending the realm. Ilya Muromets is Russia's traditional symbol of physical and spiritual strength.

, Rosamund Bartlett, , Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, page 2: 2011, Konstantin M Averin, Tatiana I Pavlova, To Be Or Not to Be Russian?, page 31, Some variants of the tale say that all the bogatyrs perished in the battle except Ilya of Murom, who, however, died after coming back as a winner.
