摘要：

Is it possible to beat a demon? Can a human in flesh hurt and wound an incorporeal spirit? These questions may seem weird, but in the Middle Ages they were an important part of demonological beliefs that concerned demon's nature and abilities. Russian medieval literature and iconography abound in images of physical confrontation of righteous men and evil spirits. The article is focused on the complex of Russian medieval notions of demon's abilities in the material world and physical struggle between saints and fallen angels. The key topic of beating a demon is studied on the ground of Russian medieval texts, archival documents and icons.
