Tales from Russian History

Sergey Petrovich Alekseev (1922 — 2008) — a famous children's writer, laureate of the State Prize and holder of the honorary diploma from the International Board on Books for Young People. The main theme of his work — the historical past of our Motherland. This book contains stories from the cycles about the Tatar-Mongol invasion, the Time of Troubles, the reforms of Peter the Great, the Catherine era and the glorious feats of Suvorov, about the outstanding victories of the Russian people over Napoleon in 1812 and over fascist Germany in the Great Patriotic War. All of them are permeated with a sense of love for the homeland and pride for the great history of Russia.
