Russian-Kazan contacts of the second half of the XV – the first third of the XVI century – is a mixture of military confrontation, undercover struggle in the best traditions of the Game of Thrones, as well as close cultural and economic cooperation. Suffice it to say that the lion’s share of coins preserved in the archaeological layers of Kazan of the Khan’s period is of Moscow origin. Of course, this intense interaction did not occur in a vacuum: it was influenced by many third forces. What was worth only the struggle of the Grand Duke of Moscow and the Crimean Khan for the right to call Kazan his yurt?
The pages of this book not only chronologically describe the history of Russian-Kazan contacts during the reign of Ivan III and his son Vasily III. The study details the military, political, diplomatic and economic aspects of these relations. The article describes the place of both states in the system of international relations and their importance for each other. The book raises such important questions as the causes of the Tatar raids on Russian territories and the roots of the ever-increasing Moscow expansion in the Middle Volga region in the period under review. Special attention is paid to what the Kazan Khanate was and what was the ratio of forces between the two states.
