The Battle of the Neva and the Battle on the Ice

In the 13th century, numerous clashes took place in Russia between Karelian, Finnish, Baltic, and Slavic tribes that lived mixed together and then attacked one another, and then united to defend or attack other tribes. Torn apart further by feuds of their own princes—when a brother rose against a brother, a son against a father—R us seemed doomed, caught between internal turmoil and troubles from outside. But amid these troubles, bright personalities appeared from time to time—people who, with their minds and other talents, and with deep faith in God, were saving Russia from inevitable death. One of these saviors and defenders was the Grand Prince Alexander Yaroslavich, later called Nevsky, and canonized by the Church as a saint. It was precisely under his command that the Russian army achieved two of the most important victories for Russia’s future in the battles of Neva and the Ice Battle. A story about these fateful events awaits you in this audiobook.
