Russian Whip is a traditional form of corporal punishment used in Russia and other parts of Eastern Europe. The term is derived from the Russian word KNOUT, which is a type of whip made of leather or cord. Plet is another type of whip used in Russia, which is made of a single piece of leather. Plete is a variation of plet, which is made of multiple pieces of leather. All three terms are used to refer to the same type of whip, which is used to inflict physical pain as a form of punishment.
