Battle of Kozludzha

[5] This battle, alongside several others in this campaign, established the reputation of the Russian Lieutenant-General Alexander Suvorov as one of the brilliant commanders of his time.

[9] The Ottoman forces were demoralized due to previous defeats and had poor logistics (including a year of withheld back pay).

[10] The Russian army under Lieutenant-Generals[3] Alexander Suvorov and Mikhail Kamensky encountered the Ottoman forces of Abdul-Rezak Pasha.

[5][11] Although Abdürrezzak Pasha was a bureaucrat, he was one of the rare Ottoman statesmen who commanded a large military force.

[8][11][13][15][16] The Russian victory was one of the major reasons why a month later, on 21 July, the Ottomans were forced to sign the unfavorable Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca.
