The word zmei in Russian is the masculine form of zmeya, a feminine noun, meaning "snake".[1]
It was a zmei, and not a drakon (Russian: драко́н) that was defeated by Saint George, or St. Egorii, as he was popularly known in Russia.[41] The saint appears as "Egorii the brave" (Russian: Егорий Храбрый, with the epithet "chrabryii") in religious verses.[40][42] This can be seen in popular lubok prints of Saint George and the Dragon in Russia.[43] The scene is also often depicted in Russian icons.[40]
