The battle of Molodi was a military battle that took place between July 29 and August 2, 1572, in the territory that currently is within the boundaries of the city of Chekhov of the Moscow Region. The battle was fought between the Russian troops led by Princes Mikhail Vorotynsky and Dmitry Khvorostinin and the army of Crimean Khan Devlet I Giray.
Despite having more than twice the numerical superiority, the 40,000-strong Crimean army was put to flight and almost completely smashed. The Battle of Molodi is comparable in importance to the Kulikovo and other key battles in the Russian history. The victory in the battle allowed Russia to maintain its independence and became a turning point in the confrontation between the Moscow state and the Crimean Khanate, which gave up its claims to the Kazan and Astrakhan khanates and henceforth lost much of its power.
