		Alexander was taken to Novogrod,as a young child, where he witnessed firsthand the baneful effect of internal dissension as his father struggled with the proudly independent spirited boyars.
		Alexander refused to consent to such idolatry and prepared himself to accept the death penalty (which Prince Michael of Chernigov had paid under similar circumstances).
		Although it was 200 years before Russia was free of Tatar control, Alexander’s skill and self-sacrificing devotion which he brought to the Herculean task set before him as ruler, and his commitment to the preservation of Orthodoxy at the core of a growing national consciousness, made him a hero of both historic and spiritual dimensions.

	Sergei Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky Cantata
		Alexander Nevsky is a serious film made late in the 1930s with an overt propaganda purpose: to raise the morale of the Russia populace in the likely event of a war with Germany.
		Eisenstein wrote a screenplay about a medieval hero, Grand Duke Alexander of Novgorod, who in 1240 (at the age of 20) had defeated a Swedish army in a battle on the River Neva (for which feat he was dubbed "Alexander of the Neva" or "Alexander Nevsky").
		Alexander Nevsky was so urgently needed in 1938 that entire units of the Russia army were drafted to serve as extras, and the climactic battle scenes were shot during a July heat wave on a vast leveled field covered with sodium silicate to give it the appearance of ice.

		Even when this elder brother showed symptoms of delicate health it was believed that his life might be indefinitely prolonged by proper care and attention, and precautions had been taken for the succession by his betrothal with Princess Dagmar of Denmark.
		Under these circumstances the greatest solicitude was devoted to the education of Nicholas as cesarevich, whereas Alexander received only the perfunctory and inadequate training of an ordinary grand-duke of that period, which did not go much beyond primary and secondary instruction, practical acquaintance with French, English and German, and a certain amount of drill.
		His elder brother when on his deathbed had expressed a wish that his affianced bride, Princess Dagmar of Denmark, should marry his successor, and this wish was realized on the gth of November 1866.

		Alexander Nevsky, Sergei Eisenstein's landmark tale of Russia thwarting the German invasion of the 13th century, was wildly popular with home-grown audiences back in 1938, quite intentionally so, given the prevailing Nazi geopolitical advancement and destruction at the time.
		Clearly, any film from the 1930's will feel somewhat dated, but "Alexander Nevsky" is cursed by the melodramatic posturing of its acting style - it looks more like a throwback to the era of silent movies, or even to the Victorian stage or early 20th century opera.
		Alexander Nevsky was a Russian leader who fought off invading Swedes, Poles, and Germans, at a time when his country was most threatened by the Tartars - they exacted an annual tribute to ensure their continued passivity.

	Alexander Nevsky - Sergei Prokofiev (Site not responding. Last check: )
		There is a good reason that some film music becomes so famous and in the case of Alexander Nevsky it's not terribly difficult to know why; it is very thematic, rousing, thrilling, beautiful and moves through every kind of emotion an epic tale such as Nevsky's should.
		The climax of the suite is the rousing, yet hymnal Alexander's Entry into Pskov where the choir and orchestra capture the celebratory mood of Nevsky's victory.
		I would admit that sometimes it is not easy listen; much of the central portions of Alexander Nevsky are fairly intense and uncompromising, but this is the kind of music that has truly transcended its origins and brilliantly tells the story without the visuals.

	Aleksandr Nevsky (1938)
		In the fields Prince Alexander Nevsky (Nikolai Cherkassov) recuperates with his men, fresh from defeating the Swedes (on the River Neva).
		A significant problem for Aleksandr Nevsky is that because the arduous battle is so stunning in its impact, the remainder of the movie lies in shadow.
		During the battle, indeed throughout the rest of the film, Aleksandr Nevsky paints a highly believable picture of Medieval society; the clothes are rough and functional, the buildings either solid towers or ramshackle huts and the weapons bluntly deadly.

	Plastic Soldier Review - Strelets Russian Army of Alexander Nevsky (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Alexander (1220 — 1263) defeated the Swedes (1240), Teutonic Knights (1242) and Lithuanians (1245), but recognised the overwhelming power of the Mongols and spared his people their wrath by cooperating with them.
		Cavalry was less of a major component in Alexander’s army but it certainly had a role to play.
		Once again we despair of some of the Strelets horse poses, and a more balanced representation of Alexander’s army would be achieved by combining this set with that of Zvezda, but this set has some charm and will doubtless find a home in future models of the exploits of one of Russia’s greatest heroes.
