Commanders of the Era of Nicholas I

The reign of Nicholas I is unlike any of his predecessors. During his time, Russia was at war from the first to the last day of his reign. At the same time, it had to engage in several wars simultaneously. During the Eastern (also known as the Crimean) War of 1853–1856, Russia confronted a coalition of the strongest European powers, which launched military actions against it from four sides. The book by the renowned military historian A.V. Shishov discusses the commanders of Emperor Nicholas I, who created the military glory of the Fatherland in campaigns and on battlefields.
