Ukrainian war. Armed struggle for Eastern Europe in the XVI-XVII centuries. Book 1. Fight for Russia

The modern structure of the world has developed in the XVI-XVII centuries. At the same time in Eastern Europe, the zone of rivalry became Western Russia - a wide strip of land from Lviv to Smolensk. In the struggle for this territory, the largest powers of the time - Lithuania and Poland, Sweden and the Horde, Turkey, the Crimean Khanation, as well as the Moscow Principality, are the future Greatness. And who could assume then that it was not just about the division of spaces of Eastern Europe, but about the capture of full and unconditional domination here? That the small Moscow principality will destroy much more powerful Horde and Lithuania, will move away for no less dynamic Turkey, Poland, Sweden to the southern, Western and Northern "Zadvorki" of Ukraine will suppress at least an attempt to create our own states here and become the omnisciminary and the only owner of all these lands , turning into the Great World Power?
About the Ukrainian War forgotten in our historical consciousness and tells in the book. As the author proves, this war did not just affect the fate of the whole (and not only eastern!) Europe, but became one of the most dense concentration in the history of hostilities, expressed everything: ideology, economy, social processes, quality of leaders and the aspiration of peoples. Book I - "Fight for Rus" is the first part of the study of the Ukrainian War, which occurred in the XVI-XVII centuries. It is devoted to the formation of opposing states and their armies, as well as the first battles of this war - until the middle of the XVI century
