B. E. E. Eimeleus was ahead of his time with his advocacy of ski training in the Russian armed forces. Employing terminology never before used in Russian to describe movements with which few were familiar, Skis in the Art of War gives a breakdown of the latest techniques at the time from Scandinavia and Finland. Eimeleus''s work is an early and brilliant example of knowledge transfer from Scandinavia to Russia within the context of sport.\nNearly three dec.
