Brother at brother. Cursed XIII century: Victor Karpenko

The beginning of the XIII century from the Nativity of Christ. White Rus’ is still one of the strongest states in Europe, but endless princely discords undermine the roots of the Russian world. While the brother goes to the brother, and the Rurikovich pouring their own blood in the internecine wars, ruin the Russian cities worse than the steppes, the Mongolian thunderstorm gathers in the east, which will sweep away their squads from the face of the earth, turning the former greatness to dust and ash …
From the death of Vsevolod, a large nest to a fratricidal Sich on Lipitsa, where 20 thousand Russian soldiers were killed, and from the defeat on Kalka to the Batyev invasion – this historical epic is catching the great, heroic and tragic era, which has become the cursed century of Russian land.
