In the summer of 1572, in the suburbs there was a battle under the Youngi, which predetermined the outcome of the many years of Russian-Crimean confrontation. The Crimean Khan Devlet-Girey I, at the head of a large army, appeared near Moscow to complete the case that he had begun last year, when he managed to defeat Ivan the Terrible and burn his capital.

However, this did not happen - the Russian army, headed by the governor, Prince M. I. Vorotynsky, in a multi -day battle, managed to defeat the enemy and force him to retreat to his borders. The imperial dreams of the Crimean ruling elite were gone with the defeat of the young people.
