Short description: Type of polearm weapon
A sovnya (Russian: совня) is a traditional polearm used in Russia. Similar to the glaive, the sovnya had a curved, single-edged blade mounted on the end of a long pole. This was a weapon used by late-medieval Muscovite cavalry and it retained use until the mid-17th century.
