Pagan Baseball Bat
Baseball bats are illegal in Russia, as they are considered to be a ‘cold weapon’. So the Russian craftsmen are carving Slavic pagan gods on the bats to keep the police eyes away. It makes bat not the bat but the religious symbol. Of course, you can’t play baseball with such bat, but nobody cares, because nobody play baseball in Russia anyway. Baseball bats are just considered to be a ‘cold weapon’ there.

I am from Russia. And I can assure you that baseball bats are not cold weapon in Russia. In some sport shops you can buy such bats. And it will be absolutelly legal. But that is true that Russians don’t play baseball. In Russia such convenient bats are used for other “games”
