	Alexander Nevsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nevsky faced the enemy on the ice of the Chudskoye Lake and crushed the Teutonic Knights during the Battle on Lake Peipus on April 5, 1242.
		Alexander’s victory was a significant event in the history of the Middle Ages.
		Nevsky's great victory against the Teutonic Order apparently involved only a few knights killed rather than hundreds claimed by the Russian chroniclers; decisive medieval and early modern battles were won and lost with forces small to modern eyes.

	Order of Alexander Nevsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Order of Alexander Nevsky (Russian: Орден Александра Невского) was first instituted in 1725 by Catherine I of Russia.
		However, on July 29, 1942, the Soviet Union reinstated the Order and awarded the status upon hundreds of men who served during WWII, thereby reviving the memory of Alexander Nevsky's struggle with the Teutonic Knights.
		During the war the Order was granted to more than 42,000 Soviet servicemen, about 70 foreign generals and officers, and over 1,470 military units that wear the order on their banners.Since then, the Order has been regarded solely as a military award.

		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.
		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.
		The Order was re-established by the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet, in 1942, to honour Soviet Commanders in WWII

	Alexander Nevsky - Saint Alexander, St. Petersburg
		Alexander Yaroslavich was born around 1220 at Pereslavl Zalessky (150km NE of Moscow) and was the second of three sons of Yaroslav Vsevolodovich, the devout orthodox Grand Prince of the medieval Russian state of Vladimir.
		Alexander's direct reign over this troubled area lasted until 1252 when he succeeded his brother Andrew as Prince of Vladimir, although he continued to control justice in Novgorod through his son, Vassily.
		The latest tribute immortalizing this remarkable man is a new monument in the center of the traffic island at Ploschad Alexander Nevskogo, which is just outside the entrance to the Lavra where his remains are buried.

		In order to obtain possession of those parts of Russia which had not fallen under the dominion of the Tartars and to cut the only outlet of Novgorod to the Baltic Sea, King Erik had gathered together a great army and placed it under the command of his son-in-law Birger.

		There are plenty of fine performances of Alexander Nevsky available on CD and a handful of the Scythian Suite as well, but this pairing is thrilling in the extreme with sonics which allow us to hear every bit of Prokofiev's fascinating, always original scoring.
		I have a number of recordings of the Alexander Nevsky (one even narrated by Christopher Plummer, and an excellent recording it is) and I have to admit that it is hard to find a bad recording of the work.
		Alexander Nevsky is one of my favorite pieces of music, and Gergieiv does a pretty good job overall.

		In brief, the late 1930's Soviet film recounted a 13th century attempt by the (German) Teutonic Knights to conquer Russia, and their defeat by a Russian army under Alexander Nevsky (who, by the way, is recognized as a saint by the Russian Orthodox Church).
		Produced before the Nazi-Soviet pact of 1939, it was conceived largely as anti-German propaganda, portraying the Knights as a brutally murderous gang, driven in part by a warped (Western) religiosity (thus also an anti-Christian, especially anti-Western Christian, subtext).
