At the beginning of the XVIII century. The Ottoman Empire remained a great Eurasian-African power with a huge human and financial potential and a centralized army. The Russian plan of war against the Turks envisaged both offensive operations - in the direction of the Balkan, Crimea, Kubanja, and defensive: in Poland, on the Right-Bank Ukraine, as well as in Azov and Taganrog. In 1711, Peter I planned to go to the Danube, who was the ultimate goal of the campaign, and only at the place of battle with the Turks on July 7-10, historians called this campaign Prutsky.
The strategic success of the Turks in 1711 still serves as the basis for Turkish historians to calculate the Prut Battle for "Great Turkish Victory". However, the battle on the river Prut was distinguished by stubborn and bloody, and the scarecrow and the persistence of Russian soldiers did not inferior to victorious campaigns of 1708-1710. During the fighting on July 8-10, the Turkish troops suffered great losses, why it was after the Prutsky battle that the Russian soldiers" devil-like began to call Russian.
The opposing parties interrupted the battle when the Russian army not only did not suffer, but it was determined to fight. However, a significant numerical superiority of the Ottoman troops, and to an even greater degree of the shock condition of the king, who had nerves, led to the signing of an indefinite Prothesky world on heavy conditions for Russia.
The durability and heroism of Russian soldiers, officers and generals who did not disappear Poltava glory of 1709, saved the country from larger territorial losses. Leaves the battle of the battle of the battle of Peter ordered, as it should be undefeated, in the manual order
