Nikolay Vasiliyevich Karpol (Russian: Николай Васильевич Карполь; 1 May 1938) is a Russian women's volleyball coach and a longstanding coach of the Soviet national team (then the Commonwealth of Independent States team of 1992 following the collapse of the USSR) and later the Russia women's national volleyball team. Known as The Howling Bear,[1] Karpol was a regular at the Olympic Games, with his teams usually earning a last call on the Olympic podium, winning gold medals in 1980 and 1988 and taking the silver medals in 1992, 2000,[2] and 2004, for a total of five Olympic medals.[3] In 2020, he set a new world record by coaching Uralochka for 51 years.[4][5]

Karpol coached the Soviet women to the gold medal at the 1990 Goodwill Games in Seattle[6] and the Russian women to the gold medal at the 1994 Goodwill Games in Saint Petersburg.[7][8]

In 2009, Karpol was inducted into the International Volleyball Hall of Fame.[3][9]
