The Swans of Nepryadva

The Swans of Nepryadva (Russian: Лебеди Непрядвы) is a Soviet animated film about the medieval Battle of Kulikovo, released at its 600th anniversary.

The film starts with a history of the 13th century, showing the Mongol invasions and the Battle of the Kalka River.

A century and a half later, Prince Dmitry Ivanovich of Moscow explains to his son why he rides to the Horde.

By dawn, the Russians and the united Mongol and Tatar armies take position for battle.

The knights of the ambush regiment, whose head is Bobrok, urge them to assist, but the commander waits for a signal.
