Dmitri Donskoy

The name of the Grand Duke Moskovsky Dmitry Ivanovich, nicknamed Donskoy (1350-1389), forever turned out to be connected with the Great Victory on the Kulikov Field, which began the beginning of the liberation of Russia from the power of the Horde Chanov. That is why the personality of the prince itself is extremely mythologized in our consciousness: the place of real politics with all his advantages and disadvantages took a certain ideal image of an unbearable commander and the canonized Church of Saint. But in history everything is much more difficult. The author of the book, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor Nikolay Sergeevich Borisov, talks about his hero with maximum details and objectivity, attracting all historical sources currently available and restoring the complex and diverse picture of the life of Russia for the second half of the XIV century
