Russian Video: 300 Years of Poltava Battle!

On June 27, 1709, the Russian army under Peter the Great ended the Swedish military domination in Europe with the help of Ukrainian Cossacks.

This victory is very important in Russian history: "After the Poltava victory, the united Russian state became a major factor in European politics. Since then, nobody on the European continent could ignore Russia’s political will."
