He was named the champion of champions. Unlikely strong, purely honest, inflexibly volitional and at the same time по-юношески amorous and jealous, such was the nearly strongest man of planet, hereditary cossack Ivan Поддубный. At the beginning the XX century, when all Europe fanatically worshiped to the "sport queen" - fight, glory about the phenomenal capabilities of "Russian bear" Поддубного thundered for the whole world. He with lightness threw on shoulder-blades of the strongest fighters of planet, he dethroned myths about invincibility of the prominent European and American athletes, with honour demonstrating athletic force of the Russian man to the whole world.
