The whip that was used in Imperial Russia as corporal punishment of criminals and political offenders is called knout.

It was used from the 15th century till 19th century.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knout

The great knout consisted of a handle about 60 centimetres (24 in) long, to which was fastened a flat leather thong about twice the length of the handle, terminating with a large copper or brass ring to which was affixed a strip of hide about five centimeters broad at the ring, and terminating at the end of 60 centimetres (24 in) in a point. This was soaked in milk and dried in the sun to make it harder.

...

The victim was tied to a post or on a triangle of wood and stripped, receiving the specified number of strokes on the back. A sentence of 100 or 120 lashes was equivalent to a death sentence; even twenty lashes could maim, and with the specially extended Great Knout twenty blows could kill.
