Russia 2022, Warrior Prince Mikhail Vorotynsky, Battle of Molodi 1572, 450th Anniversary of Victory, VF-XF MNH**, €6
SK # 2945
The Battle of Molodi (Russian: Би́тва при Мóлодях) was one of the key battles of Ivan the Terrible's reign. It was fought near the village of Molodi, 40 miles (64 km) south of Moscow, in July–August 1572 between the 40,000–60,000-strong horde of Devlet I Giray of Crimea and about 23,000–25,000 Russians led by Prince Mikhail Vorotynsky. The Crimeans had burned Moscow the previous year, but this time they were thoroughly defeated.
Битва при Молодях, или Молодинская битва, & mdash военное сражение, произошедшее между 29 июля и 2 августа 1572 года на территории, входящей в наши дни в границы города Чехова Московской области. В бою сошлись русские войска под предводительством князей Михаила Воротынского и Дмитрия Хворостинина и армия крымского хана Девлета i Гирея.
Несмотря на более чем двукратное численное превосходство, 40-тысячная крымская армия была обращена в бегство и почти полностью перебита. По своему значению битва при Молодях сопоставима с Куликовской и другими ключевыми битвами в российской истории. Победа в битве позволила России сохранить независимость и стала поворотной точкой в противостоянии Московского государства и Крымского ханства, которое отказалось от притязаний на Казанское и Астраханское ханства и впредь потеряло большую часть своей мощи.
На марке изображены портрет князя Михаила Воротынского, русское войско, передвижное полевое укрепление «гуляй-город» и картуш из военного снаряжения.
The battle of molodi was a military battle that took place between july 29 and august 2, 1572, in the territory that currently is within the boundaries of the city of chekhov of the moscow region. The battle was fought between the russian troops led by princes mikhail vorotynsky and dmitry khvorostinin and the army of crimean khan devlet i giray.
Despite having more than twice the numerical superiority, the 40,000-strong Crimean army was put to flight and almost completely smashed. The Battle of Molodi is comparable in importance to the Kulikovo and other key battles in the Russian history. The victory in the battle allowed Russia to maintain its independence and became a turning point in the confrontation between the Moscow state and the Crimean Khanate, which gave up its claims to the Kazan and Astrakhan khanates and henceforth lost much of its power.
The postage stamp provides a portrait of Prince Mikhail Vorotynsky, Russian army, a siege vehicle mobile field fortification and a cartouche from military munition.
