Great military leaders of Russia

The book contains biographies of great military leaders, each of whom Russia owes the most glorious pages of its history. Some we know from childhood - Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Donskoy, Alexander Suvorov, Mikhail Kutuzov, Fyodor Ushakov, Mikhail Skobelev, Alexei Yermolov... But there are also names, much less known, but no less renowned - Ivan Paskevich, Alexei Shein, or... Tsar Peter I, whose merits as a military leader and commander are sometimes underestimated even today. This book is an exciting journey through eight centuries of Russian military history and the fates of its great creators, equally interesting for readers of all ages. The reader will learn the most important things about military victories, characters, and the circumstances of the lives of military leaders. The biographies of famous commanders are based on the works of the best Russian historians. The edition is beautifully illustrated with works of Russian battle painting and portraits of commanders.
