Death and ruin threaten the entire Ancient Rus', fragmented into specific principalities. A little more and Russian cities will fall one after another under the onslaught of Batu’s horde. But suddenly the Mongols have a powerful and mysterious enemy - and now they suffer defeat after defeat. Khan Batu will face cruel punishment, and all the disadvantaged will find shelter and support from those who bring them goodness and justice. But will he be able to complete his main task and unite the Russian lands into a single and strong state under the scepter of young Alexander Nevsky? On the cover is a fragment of the diorama “Defense of Ryazan”. Author: Deshalyt E.
