It demonstrated the developing independence of the Russian lands from Mongol rule (which had been imposed in 1240) and was a giant step for the Duchy of Moscow in its rise to leadership of the Russian p

Prince Dmitry wasn't called 'Donskoy' before this battle. He gains this nickname because Kulikovo field is on the bank of the Don river.

Imagine being an Italian soldier fighting in Russia for a Mongol warlord lol.

Glad you are doing Mongolian/Russian history thank you

Any battle involving the Mongols is epic. Regardless of whether they win or lose it. I enjoy hearing about it. Great video. I enjoyed it.

When you have outscouted the Mongols... You did good

The duel in a start of a battle wasn't actually between two champions. But between mongol champion and Russian Orthodox monk, one of the two Saint Sergei of Radonezh sent into battle, same Saint propheted to Dmitrii: „Go and don't feat, God will help you”

In 1980 the USSR went out of its way to commemorate the Battle of Kulikovo, with exhibitions, art competitions and a big budget movie called (I think) "On the Sacred Field of Kulikovo". I saw the movie once, but it seems to have disappeared. It recounted the epic battle, and the final scene was striking for a movie made under communism. It showed three Russian Knights (I think one was Donskoi) at the head of an army gazing eastwards....and then the scene segued into the present day, with the same characters wearing Soviet Tankers uniforms standing on top of an armoured vehicle before squadrons of Soviet tanks...and a narrator solemnly intoning "The Russian soldier, then as now...eternal guardian of civilisation..."

a crushing defeat for mamai, but atleast he had perfectly smooth balls with Manscaped!

Wait what, the Mongols had mercenaries from Genua fighting the Russians on the Don? That caught me off guard.

History illustrated beautifully! Over and over and over... THANK YOU!!!

I came for the Mongols... ...I left with smooth balls.

From what I hear, it was a pretty close shave.
