Mstislav Udalia. For the right business. Chernyavsky S.N.

Mstislav Baty (Udalia) - a Knight without fear and reproaches, a brave warrior, a skilled commander, a Russian was a Russian camp, who fought in the Baltic states with the Germans, in Galicia - with the Hungarians. He is also a diplomat who knew how to manage even with the restless Galician and Novgorod communities. Even the eternally rebellious Novgorodians did not want to let him go from themselves. He came to the rescue of his friends at the first call, helped offended, stood for the truth. At the same time, Mstislav was unfairly forgotten shortly after his death. Outstanding Russian historians - N.M. Karamzin and see. Soloviev - was considered the one who is a successful, inconsistent, restless and not understanding the interests of Rus'. Soloviev describes him as a typical figure in the outgoing “generic” beginning, which is opposed to the new - “state”.

The fate of Mstislav is full of dramatic turns - he participates in the fight against the West on two fronts at once, in the Baltic states and the Carpathians, and sees the first raid of the Mongols to the South Russian steppes. These circumstances further enhance interest in the life and affairs of Mstislav the Bad. Let us take a closer look at the era and at the prince himself. Maybe this will allow us to better understand our ancestors and the history of Ancient Rus'.
