History in Brief
Anachronism Package Blurb
"As skilled a military leader as he was a diplomat, Alexander Nevsky is considered the greatest protector of medieval Russia. After a series of victories against invading nations, chiefly the Swedes and Teutons, Nevsky’s influence began to cause strife between various political factions. Never placing himself before his country, the great general cast himself into self-imposed exile. He returned, however, to drive occupying Teutonic Knights from his homeland. Nevsky also arranged to pay rampaging Mongols a tribute, rather than plunge his country into a futile war against their invincible armies. Tireless in defense of his home, use Alexander Nevsky, the Sun of Russia, to place your enemies in a position where victory cannot be achieved, and defeat is their only option."
Trivia
- A film of the Saint, simply titled Alexander Nevsky, was made by the famous Russian director, Sergei Eisenstein.
