The history of the Russian state has more than 12 centuries. Top 10 important dates in the history of Russia assembled in our top ten.

Of course, such a list cannot be called exhaustive - in the richest Russian history there are more than one hundred significant days. However, we propose to start small and turn to the current ten.

September 8, 1380 - Battle of Kulikovo (Don or Mamaev battle)

This battle between the army of Dmitry Donskoy and the army of Mamaia is considered a turning point in the more than two hundred year period of the Tatar-Mongol yoke. A crushing defeat dealt a blow to the military and political rule of the Horde. According to legend, the battle was preceded by a duel between the Russian hero Peresvet and the Pecheneg Chelubey.

November 24, 1480 - The fall of the Tatar-Mongol yoke

The Mongol yoke was established in Russia in 1243 and remained unshakable for 237 years. At the end of November 1480, the Great Standing on the Ugra River ended, marking the victory of the Grand Duke of Moscow Ivan III over the khan of the Great Horde Akhmat.

October 26, 1612 - The liberation of the Kremlin from interventionists

On this day, members of the militia led by the legendary Dmitry Pozharsky and Kuzma Minin liberate the Kremlin from Polish-Swedish interventionists. Among those who left the Kremlin was the nun Martha with her son Mikhail Romanov, who in 1613 was proclaimed the new Russian sovereign.

June 27, 1709 - Battle of Poltava

The largest battle of the Northern War ended in a decisive victory for the Russian army. From that moment, the authority of Sweden as one of the leading military powers in Europe was over. But the power of the renewed Russian army was demonstrated to the whole world.

August 26, 1812 - Battle of Borodino

The largest battle of World War II lasted 12 hours. Both armies lost 25-30% of their composition. The battle was conceived by Napoleon as a general, and the goal was a crushing defeat of the Russian army. However, the battle ended ingloriously for the French, despite the retreat of the Russians, and was the beginning of the end of the Napoleonic campaign.

February 19, 1861 - the abolition of Russian serfdom

The freedom of the peasants was secured by the manifesto of Emperor Alexander II, who was popularly called the Liberator. By the time the manifesto was published, the share of serfs in the Russian population was about 37%.

February 27, 1917 - February Revolution

An armed uprising in February 1917 led to the abdication of Emperor Nicholas II. It is these events that are considered the beginning of the Soviet period in the history of Russia. For the next 74 years, a new form of government was established in the state.

May 9, 1945 - Signing of the Act on Unconditional Surrender of Germany

The end day of the Great Patriotic War was declared a national holiday immediately in 1945. Despite the fact that the first victory parade was held in the capital on Red Square on June 24, 1945, the Russians celebrate Victory Day on May 9.

April 12, 1961 - Yuri Gagarin's flight into space

The first manned flight into space became not only the most important event in the scientific world, but also significantly strengthened the prestige of the USSR as a military-space power. In the eyes of the whole world, the authority of the Americans was undermined, space flight became the determining factor for a number of states, vacillating in their sympathies between the Union and the USA.

December 8, 1991 - Signing of the Agreement on the Creation of the CIS (Bialowieza Agreement)

The agreement was signed by three leaders: Boris Yeltsin, Stanislav Shushkevich and Leonid Kravchuk. This event can be considered the date of the final collapse of the USSR. By the end of 1991, the Russian Federation was recognized by the world community and took the place of the USSR in the UN. We can assume that from this moment the history of modern Russia began.
