In January 1558, Ivan the Terrible's regiments crossed the Russian-Livonian border. The tsar intended to collect from the Livonians the "Yuriev tribute" promised by them but never paid, to achieve the abolition of discriminatory measures against Russian merchants, to open the gates to the West in order to obtain technology, invite specialists, and buy raw materials that were not available in Russia. For three years, the Baltics were engulfed in the flames of war, which soon became known as the Livonian War. Russian troops defeated the Livonian confederation, and its territory was divided between powerful neighbors ...
The history of the forgotten, but victorious for Ivan IV military campaign of 1558-1561, despite its great importance for the subsequent history of not only Russia and the Baltics, but also Poland, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Sweden, Denmark still remains poorly studied, replete with stereotypes and myths. The NEW BOOK by Dr. of Historical Sciences, Professor V.V. Pensky is a true chronicle of military actions in Livonia and the most complicated diplomatic struggle for the "Livonian inheritance".
