This outstanding commander of the Ancient Rus, the greatest military leader of that time, the Grand Prince of Novgorod and Vladimir and his small army and Ladoga militia defeated the Swedish forces on July 15 (21), 1240. In the battle Alexander proved to be an experienced commander and demonstrated valour and heroism for which he was called “Nevsky”. On April 05 (11), 1242, he defeated the Livonian Branch of the Teutonic Knights in the Battle on Lake Chudskoye and stopped German invasion. As a far-sighted politician and a proficient diplomat he strived for preventing destructive invasions of the Tartars by strengthening the centralized power of the Grand Princes. Generalship of Alexander Nevsky enriched Russian and world art of war. The monument to Alexander Nevsky (sculptor – V.G. Kozenyuk) and the Commemorative Cross (sculptor – V. Reshchikov) were erected at St. Sophia Cathedral in Pushkin.
