DUEL (single combat, satisfaction), singe combat of two individuals with the same weapons (epee, sabre, pistol, rarely - others) and in fair conditions, held according to definite rules in the presence of witnesses (seconds) from both parties at the request (challenge) of one of the fighting individuals, who considers his honour to have been insulted by the second individual. The practice of duelling was introduced to Russia from Europe at the beginning of the 18th century, and was widespread in the first half of the 19th century. Duels were outlawed (except in the 1860-80s), therefore were held on the outskirts of St. Petersburg in deserted places.
