The book focuses on the significant military achievements of the Zaporozhian Hetman Petro Konashevych-Sahaidachny, for which he became famous at sea and on land. The author examines the naval campaign of the Cossacks led by him in 1616, which ended with the capture of the powerful Turkish fortress of Kafa. The main attention is paid to the detailed coverage of the combat actions of P. Sahaidachny's troops during the Polish-Muscovite war of 1617-1618. The strategy and tactics of the Ukrainian Cossacks' struggle against the Muscovites are revealed, in particular, on the examples of large-scale combat raids of P. Sahaidachny's units in the territory of the Moscow Kingdom, the Cossacks' forcing large water obstacles, and their siege of enemy fortresses. The author traces the course of the Tugalesk-Kolomenskoye operation and the general battle of the tsarist forces with the Cossacks near the Donskoy Monastery. Emphasis is placed on the coverage of events related to the storming of the capital of Muscovy by the Rzeczpospolita troops.
