The death of Vladimir-Suzdal Rus. Eliseev M.

The times that came after the death of Alexander Nevsky became one of the worst pages in the history of Russia. The long -term internecine war between the sons of Alexander Yaroslavich, Dmitry and Andrei, put the country on the line of death. The princes brought the Horde troops to Rus', which robbed and ruined Northeast Rus'. The Dyudenev’s army of 1293 was not inferior to the invasion of Batu in its scale and led to the same catastrophic consequences. Only the death of Prince Dmitry laid the limit of this crazy bacchanalia.

while the older Aleksandrovichi found out relations in the struggle for the Grand Duke table, their younger brother Daniil purposefully and imperceptibly prepared the upcoming elevation of Moscow. It was not without reason that by the end of the reign of Andrei Gorodetsky, Moscow announced itself as an independent and strong principality, which could no longer be considered. The active expansion of the Moscow princes on neighboring lands begins.

at the same time in the north-west of Rus' there was a confrontation between Pskov and Novgorod with the Baltic crusaders and Swedes. The struggle took place with varying success, but it was then that the name of the Pskov Prince Dovmont, who became a symbol of the victories of Russian squads over the Livonian knights, thundered.
