About this listen

In Legacy of the Battlefield, Author Terry Sloan delivers a powerful and engaging account of one of Eastern Europe’s most pivotal military confrontations—the Battle of Poltava in 1709—and its enduring impact on Russian national identity.

This landmark clash between Peter the Great’s Russian forces and the Swedish army under Charles XII was more than just a turning point in the Great Northern War. It marked the emergence of Russia as a dominant European power and laid the ideological groundwork for centuries of imperial ambition, cultural transformation, and state-building.

Through compelling narrative, original analysis, and rich historical detail, Sloan explores:

  • The political and military strategies behind the Battle of Poltava

  • The symbolism of victory and its role in shaping Russian historical memory

  • How Peter the Great leveraged the battlefield to forge a new vision of Russian identity

  • The legacy of Poltava in modern Russian nationalism and historical narratives

Whether you're a student of history, a scholar of nationalism, or simply fascinated by the forces that shape nations, Legacy of the Battlefield offers a thought-provoking journey through war, myth-making, and the enduring power of historical legacy.
