Historical Tales

Sergey Petrovich Alekseev (1922–2008) — a famous Russian writer who created an entire historical library for younger schoolchildren.
The book includes two cycles of stories: about a brief period of the reign of the reformist emperor Peter I (1672–1725) — from... the defeat at Narva in 1700 to the capture of this fortress by Russian troops four years later — and about the greatest military commander Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov (1730–1800). Much unites these two heroes of Russian history of the eighteenth century. Both were modest in their daily lives, both valued real accomplishments over awards, loud titles, and orders, both were distinguished by their devotion to their cause until their last breath. And most importantly — both were boundlessly devoted to Russia!
For younger and middle school age.
