Stanislav Mikhailovich Batishchev (Russian: Станислав Михайлович Батищев, 1940 – 22 May 2011) was a Soviet heavyweight weightlifter. Between 1966 and 1973 he won four European silver medals and three bronze medals at world championships. In 1970 he set a world record in the press. His career was hindered by severe competition within the Soviet Union, primarily with Vasily Alekseyev and Leonid Zhabotinsky.[1][2]
