Comment
Date of issue 10 MAR 2021Alexander Nevsky (1221–1263) was a military leader who defeated the Teutonic Knights on frozen Lake Peipus. He was also a distinguished diplomat masterfully asserting national interests against the Golden Horde Khan.
In 1240, the Swedes landed at the mouth of the Neva River to march against Novgorod, and the Livonian Knights besieged Pskov. Without waiting for an assault from the Swedes, Alexander Nevsky with a small detachment of Novgorod and Ladoga residents advanced towards the Neva River and, catching the Swedes off guard, decisively defeated their troops. On 5 April 1242, Novgorod and Suzdal residents vanquished the Livonian Order forces, thus destroying the opportunity for the Western neighbours to advance further to the East.
A memorial was erected in Pskov in 1993 to commemorate the famous deed of the Grand Prince Alexander Nevsky. The thirty-metre sculptural composition made of bronze and granite and weighing more than one and a half hundred tons embodies the unity and valour of the nation in the fight against enemies and the unity and integrity of the Russian land that defended its independence from the Catholic West.
Alexander Nevsky was also a far-sighted diplomat who managed to make peace with the Golden Horde, which enabled his successors to become strong and establish the powerful Russian centralised state.
