Although the Battle of the Kalka River, the first clash between Rus' and the Mongol-Tatars, is included in the required curriculum of all school and university textbooks, it remains largely enigmatic to historians. The location of the battle is disputed, as no river by that name appears on modern maps. Discussions rage not only about the day, but even the year of the battle. There is disagreement about the number of combatants and the route of the opponents. How are the famous Halley's Comet and Karl Marx connected to the battle? Did the Russian hero Alyosha Popovich participate in the battle? What role did the Kalka River play in the fate of the Horde temnik Mamai? Is it possible, 800 years later, to reconstruct the events of the past? Based on an analysis of the entire historical source material, the author answers these and other questions.
