Abstract

In meaning Grunewald Battle for Moscovia Tsardom, their on the international position of Russian State in the process of integration of Russian territories. The given article is dedicated to the 600-anniversary of the Battle of Grunewald, which was celebrated in 2010. In the given work, we consider the influence of the victory of the join forces of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Polish Kingdom and regiments of the Golden Horde over the troops of the Teutonic Order in 1410 on the external political position of the Russian State. The authors come to the conclusion that the Grunewald Battle results had negative consequences for the Moscovia Tsardom. To our mind, the defeat of the Teutonic Order resulted in Lithuanias, Polands and Golden Hordes strengthening and it significantly worsened the external political position of the Moscovia State, and delayed integration of the Russian lands around Moscow for a long period of time, postponed the fall of the Golden Hordes yoke and contributed to the rift of the integral ancient Russ nation. The article also analyses the reasons of formation of the positive estimation of the results of the Grunewald Battle in the native historiography, and considers the points of view of foreign leading historians on the results of the Battle.
