The second quarter of the 18th century is one of the forgotten pages of Russian military history for contemporary people. For him, the names of P. A. Rumyantsev and A. V. Suvorov are more familiar, whose glory will shine a little later - in the second half of the century. Meanwhile, Russian soldiers and officers courageously performed their duty, defending the interests of the Fatherland at different frontiers. They fought in Finland and Poland, defeated the best army in Europe - the Prussian one, and for the first time in history they entered Crimea as warriors, and not as slaves. In the next, 8th volume, “Commanders of the 18th Century,” you will learn about outstanding personalities: Field Marshals Lassi and Minikh, Buturlin and Saltykov, as well as the tactics and weapons of soldiers of the 18th century.
