Ilya Mokretsov
Kazakhstani fencer
Ilya Vladimirovich Mokretsov (sometimes spelled Mokretcov, Russian: Илья Владимирович Мокрецов; born 17 April 1984, in Kazan) is a male sabre fencer who first represented Russia then Kazakhstan.
Career
Mokretsov took up fencing at age twelve after coach Lev Belusov scouted him at the ice rink. In 2000 he joined the Russian junior national team, which became team world champions in 2002. At the Junior World Championships he earned an individual silver medal in 2004. The next year, at the 2005 Summer Universiade in İzmir, he joined as a reserve a Russian team made up of experienced fencers Aleksey Frosin, Aleksey Yakimenko and Aleksey Dyachenko, who won the team gold medal.
His senior career proved less successful. He was called into the Russian national team only in 2009 and 2010, after the retirement of fencer Stanislav Pozdnyakov, but he never made it onto the podium: Russia ranked fourth both at the 2009 World Championships and the 2010 European Championships.
During the 2012–13 season, he took the Kazakhstani citizenship. Under his new colours, he won a team bronze medal at the 2013 and 2015 Asian Championships. In 2016 he qualified to the 2016 Summer Olympics with a top three finish at the Prague pre-olympic tournament.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Ilya Mokretsov” as kazakhstani fencer. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as kazakhstani fencer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q23895611. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1984, 2000, 2002 and 2004.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
