Early Years
Nazlymov began fencing at a young age in Makhachkala, Daghestan. His first coach was Gaik Kazaryan (Russian: Гайк Александрович Казарян).

He achieved a rank of Colonel with the Red Army.

We see th’appearing buds, which to prove fruit
Hope gives not so much warrant, as despair
That frosts will bite them.”
