Alexander Nevsky was a 13th-century prince of Novgorod and later the Grand Prince of Vladimir, known for his military leadership and strategic diplomacy against both the Swedish and German crusaders. He is celebrated in Russian history for his decisive victory at the Battle of the Neva in 1240 and the Battle on the Ice in 1242. Nevsky was canonized as a saint by the Russian Orthodox Church and is regarded as a national hero, symbolizing Russian unity and resistance against foreign invaders. His legacy continues to be honored in various forms, including the famous 1938 Soviet film "Alexander Nevsky."
