In 1462 the throne of the Principality of Moscow passed to Ivan III (1462–1505), who succeeded
in throwing off the Tatar yoke. For the next 200 years this new state struggled to maintain her
borders against a series of attacks from the Lithuanians, Swedes and Poles to the west, as well
as the Tatars to the south. They achieved this through the development of a network of fortified
sites and a series of linear defensive systems. This book examine how these fortifications were
developed to respond to ever changing situations under the command of such charismatic rulers as
Ivan the Terrible, right through to the military reforms of Peter the Great.
