The Last War of the First Romanov. New Sources on the Kalmyks’ Invasion of the Territory of the Moscow State in 1642—1644

The military clashes of the Kalmyks with the Russian detachments of the 1640s did not receive comprehensive consideration in historiography, being interpreted as minor border skirmishes. The involvement of new sources allows us to assess the nature of the fighting in a different way. In Moscow, the events on the Lower Volga and in the Northern Caspian Region were taken seriously. This is indicated by the terminology of Russian documents that used the concept of “war” to denote military operations. The siege of Russian cities by nomads (Tsaritsyn and Yaitsky gorodok), the danger of the Kalmyks concluding an alliance with the Don Cossacks forced the Moscow government to send a large military contingent under the command of voivode Lev Pleshcheyev to fight the enemy, whose success eliminated the threat of the Kalmyk invasion of Russia.
