This book will tell you about all the greatest battles and victories of the Russian army and navy from the time of Alexander Nevsky to the middle of the XX century, each of which changed the course of not only Russian, but also world history. All these battles have been described many times, but for the first time we have collected, brought together and coordinated factual material from the books of great Russian historians, military memoirs, as well as statistical data previously scattered over dozens of historical works. Each victory of Russian weapons had its creators: on the pages of the book you will see the life and fate of generals, admirals, officers and soldiers, whose unparalleled exploits, nobility and heroism are forever recorded in our memory.
