“The thunder of victory, ring out…” - this poem was written by G. R. Derzhavin in the last quarter of the 18th century - during the era of the most glorious victories of domestic weapons. Europe was surprised and forced to recognize the heroism and courage of the Russian soldiers, who conquered the impregnable walls of Ochakov and Izmail, the mountain peaks of Switzerland and the steppes of Crimea. This was the time when the names of famous Russian commanders thundered - P. A. Rumyantsev, A. V. Suvorov, A. G. Orlov-Chesmensky. You will learn about them and their contribution to the development of Russian military art from the 9th book of the “Great Commanders of Russia” series.
