Hello to all professional historians, as well as everyone who, due to their special mental and intellectual makeup, loves history and dedicates time to studying it! :)
Recently, I traveled to the glorious city of Yaroslavl (the home of the "Lokomotiv" hockey club and Magnus!) on business. Although I didn't have much time to see the sights, the city is still quite charming! :)
The thing is, during the trip, I read Borisov's book about Dmitry Donskoy. There's an interesting passage about how Mamai gathered troops for the Battle of Kulikovo. Among other things, it mentions an interesting and semi-mythical place from which the Tourmenian cavalry was recruited for the Horde – Lukomorye! :eek: To be honest, for me, Lukomorye is associated with Pushkin's fairy tales ("Near Lukomorye, a green oak stands...") and is on par with Wonderland, Utopia, and the Between-Worlds... If anyone knows where this region is located, I would be very grateful:smile10:
And one more question about the Battle of Kulikovo: I've read different authors' accounts of the number of troops, and for many, this number varies greatly (although everyone provides arguments in favor of their version). For example, the maximum figure I've encountered was 350,000 people on both sides, and the minimum was about 100,000. Is there any official figure for the opposing forces and their losses?
P.S.: Sorry for the somewhat rambling post – I haven't slept for two days! :smile31:
