Alexander the Great of Eastern Europe You are looking for foreign lands, but you cannot protect your own. I am coming to you. Svyatoslav's reign

Svyatoslav - Alexander the Great of Eastern Europe.

Starting from the time when in 962, having matured and become the head of the squad, Svyatoslav really began to rule the state, he began to further expand Rus'. He succeeded in what his predecessors failed to do: he subjugated the principality of the Vyatichi, located between the Oka and Volga rivers.

He continued the efforts of Oleg and Olga to centralize power. Oleg installed his governors only in the cities along the upper Dnieper - in Smolensk and Lyubech, and in the remaining lands there were local princes, although they were subordinate to him. Olga sent managers to tribute collection points. Now Svyatoslav, leaving for war, sent his sons to the most important lands of Rus'. He left his eldest son Yaropolk in Kyiv, sent his second son Oleg to rule the Drevlyan land, and sent his youngest son Vladimir with his uncle, the famous governor Dobrynya, to rule Novgorod. The sons of the Grand Duke in previously semi-independent principalities essentially became his governors.

Svyatoslav continued the foreign policy of his predecessors. But he gave it such proportions, breathing into it such strength and passion, that he captured the imagination of both his contemporaries and descendants.

In 964 he set out on a campaign to the east. The main goal This campaign brought about the destruction of the ancient enemy - Khazaria.

By this time, Svyatoslav was already an established leader of the squad, brave in battle, unpretentious to hardships military life. This is how the chronicler describes him: “And he easily went on campaigns, like a pardus (cheetah), and fought a lot. On campaigns, he did not carry carts or cauldrons with him, did not cook meat, but thinly sliced ​​horse meat, or animal meat, or beef and fried it over coals, and ate it that way. He didn’t even have a tent, but he slept with a saddle blanket on him, with a saddle in his head... and sent to other lands with the words:

“I want to attack you.” His appearance “was well conveyed by the Byzantine historian: his head was shaved according to Russian custom with a long lock of hair hanging down, gold earring with a large ruby ​​in the left ear, a gloomy look, simple modest clothes, distinguished by their purity, high feeling self-esteem emanating from his entire figure.

Having passed through the Oka-Volga forests, the land of the Vyatichi, Svyatoslav unleashed his first blow on Volga Bulgaria, an ally of Khazaria. The Bulgar army was defeated, and the capital of the Bulgars and other cities were taken and the population dispersed. Along the way, Svyatoslav defeated the Burtases who lived in the Oka-Volga forests and were hostile to Rus', captured and burned their cities, and scattered the population.

Then the Russian army went down the Volga and approached the borders Khazar Khaganate. The attack from the north was swift and unexpected. Usually Russian armies came to the borders of Khazaria along Sea of ​​Azov and Don. Now they first defeated the allies of Khazaria. This shows a well-thought-out plan for the entire military campaign.

The Kagan himself went out with an army to meet the Russians, but was defeated,

and the capital of Khazaria, the city of Itil in the lower Volga, was also captured by Svyatoslav.

The Russian army passed through the entire Khazar land with fire and sword, leaving behind destruction and ashes. At first, Svyatoslav’s path lay in the Khazar possessions in the North Caucasus. From there he moved to the Don, defeating along the way the Yas and Kasog tribes (present-day Ossetians and Circassians) who were hostile to Russia and allied to Khazaria. On the banks of the Don, Svyatoslav’s army stormed the Khazar fortress Sarkel, which was built here back in the 9th century. with the help of Byzantine engineers to guard the Khazar borders from the Russians. Traces of fires, destroyed buildings, broken fortress walls - this is how Sarkel appears according to archaeologists. The fortress was literally wiped off the face of the earth.

Thus, the goal of the campaign was achieved. Khazaria essentially ceased to exist as a strong state.

Leaving garrisons in the occupied territory, Svyatoslav returned to Kyiv, and his troops began attacks on the Crimean possessions of Byzantium. The Russians continued the line of past years

The reign of Svyatoslav Igorevich Svyatoslav was the first reliably known Kyiv prince with a Slavic name. (In Byzantine sources of the 10th century his name is written as Sfendoslavos) Russian historian N.M. Karamzin called him “Alexander the Great of our ancient history" According to Academician B.A. Rybakov, Svyatoslav’s campaigns “represent, as it were, a single saber strike that drew a wide semicircle on the map of Europe from the Middle Volga region to the Caspian Sea and further along North Caucasus and the Black Sea region to the Balkan lands of Byzantium."

Formally, Svyatoslav became Grand Duke at the age of 3 after the death of his father, Grand Duke Igor, in 945, but independent rule began around 964. Under Svyatoslav Kyiv state His mother, Princess Olga, largely ruled, first because of Svyatoslav’s early childhood, then because of his constant presence on military campaigns. When returning from a campaign against Bulgaria, Svyatoslav was killed by the Pechenegs in 972 on the Dnieper rapids.

Prince Igor Rurikovich was killed in 945 by the Drevlyans for exacting an exorbitant tribute from them. His widow Olga, who became regent for her three-year-old son, went the next year with an army to the land of the Drevlyans. The battle was opened by four-year-old Svyatoslav, throwing a spear at the Drevlyans, and the spear flew between the horse’s ears and hit the horse’s legs, for Svyatoslav was still a child. And Sveneld [voivode] and Asmud [breadwinner] said: The prince has already begun; let us follow, squad, the prince"

The Tale of Bygone Years reports about Svyatoslav’s first independent steps in 964: “When Svyatoslav grew up and matured, he began to gather many brave warriors, and was fast, like a pardus, and fought a lot. On campaigns, he did not carry carts or cauldrons with him, did not cook meat, but thinly sliced ​​horse meat, or animal meat, or beef and fried it over coals, and ate it like that; He did not have a tent, but slept on a sweatcloth with a saddle in his head, and so were all the rest of his warriors. And he sent [envoys, as a rule, before declaring war] to other lands with the words: “I’m coming to you!”

About the appearance of Svyatoslav Moderate height, not too tall and not very low, with thick eyebrows and light blue eyes, snub nose, beardless, with thick, excessively long hair above the upper lip. His head was completely naked, but on one side of it hung a tuft of hair, a sign of the nobility of the family; the strong back of his head, broad chest and all other parts of his body were quite proportionate, but he looked gloomy and stern. He had a gold earring in one ear; it was decorated with a carbuncle framed by two pearls. His robe was white and differed from the clothing of his entourage only in its noticeable cleanliness."

With the light hand of Karamzin, Prince Svyatoslav is considered the ancient Russian Alexander the Great. Information about the battles he fought and won over the years is not rich in details, but one thing is clear: by the age of thirty, Svyatoslav managed to organize a dozen military campaigns, and won most of them.

Battle with the Drevlyans

First Grand Duke Svyatoslav Igorevich took part in the battle in May 946, however, he led the army only formally, since he was only four years old. When his warriors lined up on the battlefield against the Drevlyans, the governors Sveneld and Asmud took out the horse on which the young Svyatoslav was sitting, gave the boy a spear, and he threw it towards the enemies. “The prince has already begun, let’s pull, squad, after the prince!” - the commanders shouted, and the inspired Kiev army went forward. The Drevlyans were defeated and locked themselves in cities. Three months later, thanks to the cunning of Princess Olga, Iskorosten was taken, and the first of Svyatoslav’s military campaigns ended in victory.

Battle of Sarkel

965 Svyatoslav's first independent campaign. Having passed the lands of the Vyatichi, the only East Slavic tribe that had not yet paid tribute to Kyiv, descending along the Volga to the lands of the Khazar Kaganate, Svyatoslav defeated the longtime enemy of Rus'. One of the decisive battles took place near Sarkel, an outpost of Khazaria in the west.

Two armies met on the banks of the Don, Svyatoslav defeated the Khazar army and pushed it into the city. The siege did not last long. When Sarkel fell, its defenders were mercilessly beaten, the inhabitants fled, and the city itself was burned to the ground. In its place, Svyatoslav founded the Russian outpost Belaya Vezha.

Second capture of Preslav

Encouraged by Byzantium, the Grand Duke invaded Bulgaria, took its capital Preslav and began to consider it the middle (capital) of his land. But the Pechenegs’ raid on Kyiv forced him to leave the conquered lands.
When Svyatoslav returned, he discovered that the pro-Byzantine opposition in the capital had gained the upper hand, and the entire city had rebelled against the prince. He had to take Preslav a second time.
The 20,000-strong Russian army was confronted by superior enemy forces. And the battle under the city walls initially went in favor of the Bulgarians. But: “Brothers and squad! We will die, but we will die with firmness and courage!” - the prince turned to the soldiers, and the decisive attack was crowned with success: the tide of the battle was turned, Svyatoslav occupied Preslav and brutally dealt with the traitors.

Siege of Philippopolis

The main rival of Rus' was Byzantium, and it was against Constantinople that Svyatoslav planned his main blow. To reach the borders of Byzantium, it was necessary to pass through southern Bulgaria, where, fueled by the Greeks, anti-Russian sentiments were strong. Rare cities surrendered without a fight, and in many cases Svyatoslav was forced to carry out show executions. One of the oldest cities in Europe, Philippopolis, resisted especially stubbornly. Here, on the side of the Bulgarians who rebelled against the Russian prince, the Byzantines also fought, whose main army was located several tens of kilometers to the south. But Svyatoslav’s army was already a coalition: the Bulgarians, Hungarians, and Pechenegs were in alliance with him. After bloody battles the city fell. Its garrison, governors, captured Greeks and Bulgarians irreconcilable with the Russians were executed. By order of Svyatoslav, 20 thousand people were impaled.

Two general battles in Byzantium

Svyatoslav led his further advance into Byzantium with two armies: one, consisting of the best Russian warriors, battle-hardened warriors, he led himself, the other - the Russians, Bulgarians, Hungarians and Pechenegs - was under the command of the Kyiv governor Sfenkel.
The coalition army clashed with the main Greek army near Arcadiopolis, where a general battle took place. Calculating that the Pechenegs were the weak link in the Allied army, the Byzantine commander Varda Sklir directed the main attack of the army on their flank. The Pechenegs trembled and ran. The outcome of the battle was a foregone conclusion. The Russians, Hungarians and Bulgarians fought hard, but found themselves surrounded and defeated.
The battle of Svyatoslav’s army turned out to be no less difficult. The prince's 10,000-strong squad was opposed by a detachment under the command of Patrician Peter. As before, Svyatoslav managed to turn the tide of the battle at a critical moment for himself: “We have nowhere to go, whether we want it or not, we must fight. So we will not disgrace the Russian land, but we will lie here as bones, for the dead have no shame. If we run, it will be a shame for us.” He rushed forward and the army followed him. The Greeks fled from the battlefield, and Svyatoslav continued his victorious march to Constantinople. But, having learned about the defeat of the second army, he was forced to agree to a truce with the Byzantine emperor: the allies did not have the strength to siege.

Defense of Dorostol

Having violated the peace treaty, the Greeks in 971 first attacked Preslav, then, ravaging the cities, headed to the Danube, to the city of Dorostol, where Svyatoslav was located. His situation turned out to be more than difficult. The bloody battle under the city walls lasted from morning until darkness and forced the Russians and Bulgarians to retreat behind the fortress walls. A long siege began. From land, the city was surrounded by an army under the command of the emperor, and the Danube was blocked by the Greek fleet. The Russians, despite the danger, made daring forays. In one of them, a high-ranking official, Master John, was beheaded. Another thing the warriors did at night in heavy rain: they went around the enemy fleet in boats, collected grain reserves in the villages and beat many sleeping Greeks.
When the position of his army became critical, Svyatoslav considered it a shame to surrender or run away and led the army outside the city walls, ordering the gates to be locked. For two days, with a break for the night, his soldiers fought with the Byzantines. Having lost 15 thousand people, the Grand Duke returned to Dorostol and agreed to the peace proposed by Emperor Tzimiskes.

Battle with the Pechenegs

According to the terms of the peace, the remnants of Svyatoslav’s army freely left Bulgaria and reached the rapids of the Dnieper. The prince planned to use it to get to Kyiv, but the path was blocked by recent allies of the Pechenegs, who learned either from the Bulgarians or from the Greeks that the Russians were carrying great treasures. Waiting for help, Svyatoslav spent the winter here. But help did not arrive in time, and the Grand Duke attempted to break the blockade. The attempt was successful: part of the army passed the Pechenegs, but Svyatoslav himself fell in the battle. As you know, the Pecheneg Khan made a cup from his skull, inlaid it and was very proud of his victory.
