The army of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, led by Prince Constantine of Ostrog was of Polish, Lithuanian, Ukrainian and Belarusian troops - said on its website of the National Bank of Ukraine. On one side of the coin depicts four swords that as presumptuous writes the National Bank of Ukraine , & laquo; symbolizes the military community of Polish, Lithuanian, Belarusian and Ukrainian peoples & raquo;. On the reverse side is an image of the battle itself, the story of the composition at the same time borrowed from painting & laquo; Battle of Orsha & raquo; unknown party battle. The Battle of Orsha took place September 8, 1514 during the Russian-Lithuanian War 1512-1522 period. In this case, management of the Ukrainian National Bank had forgotten that preceded the battle and its aftermath. - In 1514, Russian troops made great strategic success: was taken Smolensk city. Prior to that, for 110 years, Smolensk was part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania - told & laquo; KP & raquo; historian Oleg Nazarov. - And a strategic objective of the Polish-Lithuanian army at this time was the return of Smolensk. They mobilized all its resources, and under the road to Smolensk crashed near Orsha two units of the Russian army. It was far from the main forces of the Russian army. They just turned up the Polish-Lithuanian troops. Next Polish-Lithuanian troops went to Smolensk, and there they did not work. But since the defeat at Smolensk was very sensitive to them, they were back then, 500 years ago began energetically promoting his victory near Orsha. The Polish king was to send letters to all European addresses and painted the victory in the most radiant colors. Just to somehow cover up their shame from loss of Smolensk. After this war lasted 8 years and ended with the defeat of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. However, the current Kiev historical details are not needed. They care only for the defeat of the Russian army, at least some. Suddenly, a luxury such date & mdash; 500 years of the Battle of Orsha. A bezrybe, as they say, cancer and fish - says Oleg Nazarov
