Previous events

The war was preceded by a coup d'état in the Kazan Khanate. The previous Khan Shah-Ali, who grew up in Kasimov, was placed on the throne in 1519 with the support of the Moscow government at the age of 13. His reign was accompanied by the active intervention of the Russian ambassador Fyodor Karpov in all the affairs of the Kazan Khanate, which ultimately caused an increase in anti-Russian sentiment. In 1521, a conspiracy matured in Kazan with the aim of enthroning the Crimean prince Sahib Giray, brother of the ruling in the Crimea, Mohammed Giray. The Crimean Khanate recommended him to this throne back in 1519, but then Moscow was able to hold its candidacy. Sahib Giray with a small detachment managed to secretly approach Kazan and, with the support of Kazan supporters, carry out a coup d'état, as a result of which Shah Ali was removed from power. He was allowed to go to Moscow with a small detachment. But in Kazan, 5,000 people of his Kasimov guard and the Russian detachment of the voivode V.Yu. were destroyed. Podzhogina. There was a pogrom of Russian merchants in the city, who were robbed and arrested.

fighting

Immediately after the accession to the throne of Khan Sahib-Girey, the war between Kazan and Russia began, which apparently was resolved by the Girey brothers even before the coup. The allied troops of the Kazanians and Crimeans simultaneously invaded Russia from the east and south. They also tried to attract the Astrakhan Khanate to the union - the Crimean government sent an embassy there, however, the union with Astrakhan did not take place.

The Crimean army was significantly reinforced by Nogai detachments. The fact is that the lands of the Nogai Horde were captured by the Kazakh Khanate in 1519, led by Khan Kasim, and many Nogai fled from them to the west into the possessions of the Crimean Khan and recognized themselves as his subjects. The army under the command of Mukhammed Giray reached the Oka between Kaluga and Serpukhov, where they defeated the Russian army under the command of Vasily III's brother Prince Andrei Staritsky, then crossed to the left bank of the Oka and headed along it to Kolomna.

The offensive was accompanied by the ruin of the villages, whose inhabitants were captured and sold into slavery in the slave markets in Astrakhan and in the Cafe. The Nikolo-Ugreshsky Monastery and the palace of Vasily III in the village of Ostrov near Moscow were burned.

Vasily III departed for Volokolamsk. The defense of the capital was entrusted to the royal son-in-law, Tsarevich Peter-Khudai-Kul. Panic began in Moscow, residents tried to hide in the Kremlin, at the entrance to it there was a stampede in which several hundred people died.

The Tatars entered the city on July 30, 1521, burned the surrounding villages, settlements and settlements, their headquarters was located on Sparrow Hills. Already a day later, the Moscow authorities offered peace, and the Tatars agreed to start negotiations, which ended a week later.

On August 6-8, 1521, an agreement humiliating for Vasily III was signed in the Kremlin. The prince acknowledged his dependence on the Crimean Khan and agreed to pay him tribute, which was paid to the khans of the Golden Horde. Upon the conclusion of peace, the allies left Russia.

On the way back, the Tatars besieged the city of Pereslavl Ryazansky, and the khan began, on the basis of this letter, to demand the capitulation of the city from the governor Khabar Simsky. But, having begged the Tatar ambassadors with this written commitment to his headquarters, Ivan Vasilyevich Obrazets-Dobrynsky (such was the generic name of Khabar) withheld the letter, and repelled an attempted attack. The Tatar army hurried back to the Crimea, so they did not linger near Ryazan.

The results of the war

The prince acknowledged his dependence on the Crimean Khan and agreed to pay him the tribute that was paid to the khans of the Golden Horde. However, the letter itself was lost, and Vasily III refused to recognize this treaty in the same year. Upon the conclusion of peace, the allies left Russia. The Tatars seized (presumably) a lot of booty, and Kazan was temporarily freed from the Russian protectorate. The fighting continued in the following years: In 1522, the Crimeans were again expected in Moscow, Vasily and his army even stood on the Oka. Khan did not come, but the danger from the steppe did not pass. In 1523, in connection with another massacre of Russian merchants in Kazan, Vasily announced a new campaign. Having ruined the khanate, on the way back he founded the city of Vasilsursk on the Sura, which was to become a new reliable place for bargaining with the Kazan Tatars. In 1524, after the third campaign against Kazan, Sahib Giray, who was allied to the Crimea, was overthrown, and Safa Giray was proclaimed Khan instead.

WARS OF RUSSIA WITH THE KHANATE OF KAZAN (1521–1552)

WARS OF RUSSIA WITH THE KHANATE OF KAZAN

(1521–1552)

The wars of the Grand Duke of Moscow Vasily III and his son Ivan IV the Terrible, the first Russian Tsar, with the aim of annexing the Kazan Khanate - the largest Tatar state, formed on the site of the Golden Horde.

Kazan Tatars, aware of the inequality of forces, did not intend to restore dominance over Russia, however, they considered the territory of Moscow and other Russian principalities as an object for raids in order to seize booty and, first of all, “human goods” - prisoners, and also periodically demanded payment of tribute. In 1521, when the main forces of the Russians were turned to fight against Lithuania, the Kazanians, together with the Crimean Tatars, reached Moscow, devastating many Russian lands. This was the last major campaign of the Kazan Khanate against the Moscow principality.

In 1523, after the conclusion of a truce with Lithuania, the Grand Duke of Moscow Vasily III sent a large army on a campaign against Kazan. As a result, the Vasilsursk fortress was founded on the Volga, 200 km from Kazan, which became an intermediate base for Moscow troops in subsequent campaigns.

The conquest of Kazan was continued by the son of Vasily III, Ivan IV the Terrible, who ascended the throne in 1533. He organized three campaigns against the Kazan Khanate. The first campaign took place in 1547, but the troops did not reach Kazan, due to supply difficulties, returning halfway. In the same year, Ivan assumed the royal title, which emphasized the claims of Russia to all territories previously occupied by the Golden Horde.

More successful was the second campaign, undertaken in 1549. In February 1550, Russian troops besieged Kazan and began to bombard it with cannons. However, the assault on the fortress ended in failure. In connection with the spring thaw, the king decided to lift the siege, as it became difficult for the besiegers to bring food and ammunition to the camp. The only success of this campaign was the laying of the fortress of Sviyazhsk, 25 km from Kazan. Sviyazhsk became a stronghold in the third campaign, which ended with the capture of Kazan.

Preparations for this campaign began in the spring of 1552. The so-called "ship's army" was sent along the Oka and the Volga with a supply of food and artillery ("outfit") for the entire army. Three regiments were concentrated in Sviyazhsk, and the crossings across the Volga between Vasilsursk and the mouth of the Kama were occupied by strong detachments. Part of the Russian troops in Murom, Kashira and Kolomna, if necessary, had to repel the Crimean Tatars if they tried to come to the aid of Kazan.

The number of the rati that went on the Kazan campaign was subsequently determined by one of the Russian governors, Prince Andrei Kurbsky, at 90 thousand people, of which at least 30 thousand were cavalry. The Russians had 150 heavy siege weapons and big number light guns.

Almost all the military forces of Russia were thrown near Kazan. On June 16, 1552, the main forces, led by the Grand Duke, set out from Moscow. Already on the way to Kolomna, it became known that significant forces of the Crimean Tatars were moving towards Tula. On June 23, the Tula governor Temkin reported that the city was besieged by a large Crimean army, reinforced by Turkish artillery and Janissaries. The next day, the Tatars launched an assault on Tula, which was repulsed. Having learned about the approach of significant Russian forces to the city - the regiment right hand and the advanced regiment, urgently dispatched by the Grand Duke to help Tula, the Crimean Khan did not dare to attack again and began to retreat. The Russian regiments overtook the Crimean army on the Shivoron River and inflicted a heavy defeat on it. The mistake of the Crimean Khan was that he hurried with the campaign, not waiting until Ivan IV with the army had moved far enough from Moscow, then he would have lost the opportunity to repel the Crimean threat in time.

After the defeat of the Crimean Tatars, the campaign against Kazan continued. On July 1, all Moscow regiments, except for the sentry, gathered in Kolomna. From here, the council of war decided to move in two columns. The right column, consisting of a large and advanced regiments and a right-hand regiment, went through Ryazan and Meshchera, the left, which included ertaul (light-horse reconnaissance), guard and royal regiments and a left-hand regiment, went through Vladimir and Murom.

On August 4, both columns joined at the Boroncheev settlement on the Sura River. On the morning of August 13, the Moscow army arrived in Sviyazhsk, where the garrison of the fortress, the militia of the Cheremis, Chuvashs and Mordovians, the Tatar detachment of Shig-Aley (Shih-Ali), a Russian ally, and also the ship’s army with artillery and food supplies that arrived along the river were waiting for her. On August 17, Moscow troops began crossing the Volga, which lasted three days. This fact alone testifies to the large size of the army of Ivan the Terrible.

On August 19, the siege of Kazan began. The king offered the Tatar Khan Edigey to surrender, but was refused. The city surrounded wooden wall about 5 km long with 15 towers. It was covered with a moat 6.5 meters wide and 15 meters deep. Inside the city there was a citadel - the Kazan Kremlin, surrounded by an oak wall with 8 towers. To the east of Kazan, in the Arsky forest, the Tatars built a fortification, from where they threatened the rear of the Moscow troops. The Kazan garrison numbered about 30 thousand people. In addition, in the Arsk fortification there was a detachment of Prince Epanchi of several thousand horsemen. He waged a guerrilla war.

On August 21, the Russians began to build siege fortifications - log palisades and tours - baskets of twigs filled with earth. On August 23, the troops began to advance to the walls of Kazan. Ertaul, consisting of 7 thousand horsemen, was suddenly attacked by a strong Tatar detachment and was cut in two. Archers hurried to help the noble cavalry, dispersing the Tatars with fire from squeakers. By the end of the 23rd, Kazan was completely surrounded. However, in the evening of the next day, a strong storm destroyed part of the ships with supplies, which complicated the position of the besiegers. But Ivan the Terrible was adamant in his desire to take Kazan at any cost.

The Russians built a dam and diverted the Kazanka River from the city in order to deprive the defenders of the fortress of water. However, the Tatars began to take water from a spring on the bank of the river, to which they went through the dungeon. The besiegers built two circumvalence lines around Kazan. The garrison made sorties, interfering with the siege work, but was not able to disrupt them, destroying only small sections of the fortifications.

On August 27, the Russians began to deploy artillery against Kazan. On August 30, 150 siege guns opened fire on the fortress, suppressing a significant part of the Tatar artillery. On the Arsk field, the Russians built a wooden tower 13 m high. They put 10 guns and 50 hooks on it (light cannons with a hook (hook) to counteract recoil) and, having rolled the tower to the fortress wall between the Arsk and Tsar’s Gates, they began to shell the city from the side of the Arsky fields.

On August 31, the besiegers began four digs under the Kazan walls. One of these tunnels was brought under the underground passage through which the Kazan people went for water. The passage was blown up, and after that an acute shortage of water began to be felt in the city. Only city wells remained its source. Due to poor sanitary conditions, epidemics spread in Kazan.

On August 30, half of the entire Russian army was moved against the Yepanchi detachment. A small Russian force entered the Arsk forest, was attacked by the Tatars and, by their retreat, brought the enemy under attack by the main part of the army. After this battle, the Yepanchi detachment with heavy losses retreated to their fortification. However, it was not destroyed, and the Moscow governors decided to storm the Arsk fortress. On September 8, she was taken by a detachment under the command of Prince Humpback-Shuisky. Epancha fled with the remnants of his army and could no longer disturb the besieging army with his raids.

On October 2, the troops of Ivan the Terrible launched an assault on Kazan. Two days before, a tunnel had been blown up at the Arsky Gate, which destroyed the defensive structures in front of the gate. After that, the Russians brought the tours closer to the very gates. Streltsy, boyar people and Cossacks managed to capture the Arskaya tower. In addition, artillery made a number of breaches in the walls of the fortress. Against the breaks, the Tatars hastily erected wooden log cabins and covered them with earth. Ivan turned to the Tatars with a proposal to capitulate, but they replied: "We will all die or sit out." Then the army went on the attack.

The main blow was delivered on the eastern and southwestern faces of the fortress, where there were the most breaches. On the remaining directions of attack, the Tatar forces were to be pinned down. Russian troops were divided into six assault columns. Each of the columns, in turn, was deployed in three lines. In the first line were Cossacks and boyar people. The second line was the main body of the archers, and the third line served as a reserve. The tsarist regiment was the general reserve.

At 3 o'clock in the morning on October 2, tunnels under the Arsk and Nogai gates were blown up. After that, fire from all guns was opened on the fortress. Under his cover, the troops went on the assault. The Tatars fired at the enemy with cannons and squeakers, poured boiling tar on the attackers, and dropped logs on them. However, from the side of the Arsky field, where a part of the fortress wall was destroyed as a result of the explosion of the digging, the Russians managed to break into the city. Hand-to-hand fighting ensued in the streets. The Tatars launched a desperate counterattack and pushed the enemy back to the walls. At this moment, Ivan brought into battle half of the tsar's regiment, which threw the Tatars back to the khan's palace. Almost all the defenders of the city were killed or captured. Only a detachment of 6 thousand people crossed the Kazanka and went into the forest. At the same time, a significant part of those who broke through was destroyed by the Russian troops who provided the assault.

As a result of the capture of Kazan and the defeat of the Kazan Khanate, Moscow established control over the vast region of the Volga region. The sad example of Kazan prompted the Astrakhan Khanate in 1556 to surrender without a fight to the mercy of Tsar Ivan. In 1580, the Volga region served as a springboard for the campaign in Siberia of the Cossack detachments of Ataman Yermak.

Russia Moscow

The Crimean campaign against Moscow - the campaign of Mehmed I Giray, which took place in 1521. It was the heaviest during the reign of Vasily III.

Cause of the war

In 1520, the Tsar of the Moscow Principality Vasily III, yielding to the persuasion of the boyars, did not send an annual tribute to the Crimean Khan Mehmed Girey, the latter was forced to go on a campaign.

Members

Mehmed I Giray gathered a huge army of about 35 thousand people, according to Russian sources 100 thousand people. In addition to almost the entire Crimean horde, it included Nogai and Lithuanians under the voivodeship of Evstafy Dashkevich, and then the Kazan Tatars joined.

Vasily III with an army of 35 thousand people (according to some sources up to 55 thousand people) decided to meet the Crimeans in the Tula direction, one part of the army in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe current city of Sepukhov, the other in the area of ​​Kashira], the third in the area of ​​​​the city of Tarusa.

Battle of the Oka River

On July 28, 1521, the Crimean troops approached the Oka River near the city of Kolomna and crossed over it. In Kolomna there was a small garrison, which could not offer resistance. Russian troops arrived in time under the command of Belsky D.F. and the tsar's brother, Prince Andrei Ivanovich. However, the Moscow regiments were defeated, probably one by one, by a significantly outnumbered enemy. The Russian army suffered heavy losses, including the death of many governors, many were captured. After the battle, the remnants of the Moscow troops fled to the cities, and the Crimean troops began to ravage the surroundings of Kolomna. Soon, the Kazan troops under the leadership of Sahib Giray joined the Crimeans, who, moving towards Moscow, managed to ravage Nizhny Novgorod and the surroundings of Vladimir.

Burning of Moscow

On August 1, 1521, a joint Tatar army approached the surrounding area and set fire to Moscow, then laid siege to the Kremlin. Before that, they managed to burn the Nikolo-Ugreshsky Monastery, captivated tens of thousands of people. Khan demanded that Vasily III confirm with his letter that he would continue to regularly pay tribute to the Crimean Khanate. The boyars persuaded the tsar to issue a letter, since there was a shortage of gunpowder in the Kremlin, and they issued the corresponding letter to the khan. Having received the letter, the khan took the troops home along with the prisoners, who began to be sold already on the way home, many were redeemed by the Russian people. During the raid, Russia suffered heavy losses, including among the civilian population, many were taken prisoner. In 1522, the city of Vasilsursk was built for defense against the Kazan Khanate. As a result, the Crimean Tatars were no longer able to make such a breakthrough across the Oka.

According to Karamzin

Having stolen Kazan from our hands, Magmet-Giray did not waste time in inaction: he wanted to strengthen it for his brother and, for that, shake the Vasiliy state with a strong blow; armed not only all the Crimeans, but also raised Nogaev; united with the Ataman of the Cossacks of Lithuania, Evstafiy Dashkovich, and moved so quickly to the Moscow limits that the Sovereign barely had time to send an army to the banks of the Oka in order to keep his desire. The chief Governor was the young Prince Dimitry Belsky; with him was the younger brother of the Sovereign, Andrei: in reckless arrogance they did not consult with experienced men, or did not obey their advice; they were not where they should be; let the Khan through the Oka, fought at the wrong time, without a device, and cowardly fled. Governors Prince Vladimir Kurbsky, Sheremetev, two Zamyatnins, laid down their heads in an unfortunate battle. Prince Theodore Obolensky-Shovel was taken prisoner. The Grand Duke was horrified, and even more so, when he learned that another enemy, Saip-Girey of Kazan, was also moving towards our capital from the banks of the Volga. These two Kings united near Kolomna, devastating all places, killing, capturing people by the thousands, defiling the shrines of temples, acting evil, as happened in the old days under Batu or Tokhtamysh. The Tatars burned the monastery of St. Nicholas on Ugresh and the beloved village of Vasilyevo, Ostrov, and in Vorobyov they drank honey from the Grand Duke's cellars, looking at Moscow.

The sovereign retired to Volok to gather regiments, entrusting the defense of the capital to his son-in-law, Tsarevich Peter, and the Boyars. Everything trembled. Khan on July 29, among clouds of smoke, under the glow of burning villages, was already standing a few miles from Moscow, where the inhabitants of the surrounding area with their families and their most precious estate flocked. The streets were closed with shells. Aliens and citizens, wives, children, elders, sought salvation in the Kremlin, crowded at the gates, crushed each other. Metropolitan Varlaam (Simonov's successor) fervently prayed with the people: the mayors ordered the defense, relying most of all on the skill of the German gunner Niklas. A firearm could really save the fortress; but there was a shortage of gunpowder. Another disaster was also revealed: the terrible crowding in the Kremlin threatened with inevitable infection. Foreseeing bad consequences, the weak leaders took it into their heads - this is how one foreign modern Historian tells - to disarm Khan Magmet-Girey with rich gifts: they sent the Embassy and barrels of strong honey to him. Fearing our army and the impregnable Moscow fortifications, Khan agreed not to disturb the capital and peacefully go home if the Grand Duke, according to the charter of ancient times, undertakes to pay tribute to him with a letter. It is unlikely that the barbarian Magmet Giray himself considered such an obligation to be valid: it is more likely that he only wanted to humiliate Vasily and testify to his victory with such an offensive treaty for Russia. It is also likely that the Boyars of Moscow would not have dared to give this letter without the knowledge of the Sovereign: Vasily, apparently, was less afraid of temporary shame than the disasters of Moscow, and preferred its peaceful deliverance to the glorious dangers of a bloody, unfaithful battle. They wrote a charter, sealed it with the Grand Duke's seal, handed it to Khan, who immediately retreated to Ryazan, where his camp looked like an Asian marketplace: the robbers became merchants, called the inhabitants to them, assured them of their safety, sold them their booty and captives, of which many even without the ransom went to the city. This was a trick. Ataman of Lithuania, Evstafiy Dashkovich, advised Magmet Giray to take the fortress by deceit: fortunately? Okolnichiy, Khabar Simsky, the son of Ioannov Voevoda Vasily Obrazts, was awake in her, an experienced, prudent husband, the savior of Nizhny Novgorod. The Khan, wishing to put him to sleep, sent him a letter of Moscow to certify that the war was over and that the Grand Duke recognized himself as a tributary of the Crimea; meanwhile, the enemy crowds went to the fortress, as if to find their fugitives. Simsky, fulfilling the charter of honor, gave them all the captives who were hiding in the city, and paid 100 rubles for the release of Prince Theodore Obolensky; but the number of Lithuanians and Tatars constantly multiplied under the walls, until the very time when the Ryazan skilful gunner, the German Jordan, with a single shot, put their multitude on the spot: the rest dispersed in horror. The insidious Khan pretended to be amazed: he complained about this enemy action; he demanded the head of Jordan, threatened with revenge, but hurried to leave, for he knew about the possession of the Astrakhans within his own borders. The triumph of Simsky was perfect: he saved not only Ryazan, but also the honor of the Grand Duke: the shameful charter of Moscow remained in his hands. He was given after the rank of Boyar, and - more importantly - a description of such a famous service was included in the Books of Bits and genealogies as a keepsake for centuries.

This invasion of the barbarians was the most unfortunate case of Vasily's state. Having set fire to the villages from Nizhny Novgorod and Voronezh to the banks of the Moskva River, they captured a myriad of inhabitants, many noble wives and maidens, throwing babies to the ground; sold slaves in droves in the Cafe, in Astrakhan; the weak, the elderly were starved: the children of the Crimeans learned from them the art of stinging and killing people. Moscow alone glorified its, in the opinion of the people, supernatural salvation: they talked about phenomena and miracles; they set up a special procession to the monastery of the Presentation, where we still thank Heaven three times a year for delivering this ancient capital from the attacks of Tamerlanov, Akhmatov and Magmet-Gireev. The Grand Duke, returning, expressed his gratitude to the German gunnery officers, Niklas and Jordan; but ordered to judge the Governor, who let Khan into the heart of Russia. Everyone reproached Belsky with recklessness and cowardice; and Belsky laid the blame on the Sovereign's brother, Andrei, who, having first shown the enemy's rear, dragged the others along with him. Vasily, sparing his brother, punished only one Voevoda, Prince Ivan Vorotynsky, a husband very experienced in military affairs and hitherto always brave. His fault, it seems, was that, offended by Belsky's arrogance, he saw with secret pleasure the mistakes of this young Commander, sacrificed self-esteem for the fatherland and did not do everything possible for the good of Russia: an important crime and the less excusable, the harder it is to catch the guilty! Deprived of his estate and rank, Prince Vorotynsky was imprisoned for a long time: he was later released, went to the Court, but could not leave the capital.
