What technique did the ancient Russian artisans use?

Old Russian artisans possessed one of the most sophisticated metalworking techniques. Today, archaeologists find many items of forged metal, these are axes, household utensils, shovels, hooks, as well as many agricultural tools. Old Russian blacksmiths are deservedly considered skillful professionals, as evidenced by the found figural casting, which is rightfully considered a delicate work of the master. Due to this, in Russian cities there was a distribution of specializations among local blacksmiths, which is the main indicator of the demand for this profession.
