The Pecheneg raids brought many problems to the Kyiv princes and the inhabitants of Ancient Rus in the 9th-early 11th centuries. These steppe nomads were more than once under the walls of Kyiv, including sending their hordes there on behalf of the Byzantine emperors and for a reward from them. The famous Serpent Ramparts near Kiev, the favorite brainchild of Prince Vladimir, were built precisely to contain the rapid advance of the Pechenegs, with whom the Russian infantry squads could not fight on equal terms. Only Prince Yaroslav the Wise was able to defeat the Pechenegs. In this issue, we will talk about the origin and life of this Turkic people, the secrets of their military success and the reasons for the defeat inflicted by stronger nomadic hordes, as a result of which they forever left the borders of Ancient Rus. 0:00 In this video... 01:00 The first mentions of the Pechenegs in literature and sources 08:30 Geographical distribution of the Pechenegs 11:25 History of generations of the Pechenegs 13:40 Military tactics of the Pechenegs 22:24 Relations between the Pechenegs and the Rus Subscribe to the channel https://www.youtube.com/c/FreytakMedi...
