The Teutonic Knights of Europe (Germany specifically) went to Russia to convert the Orthodox Russian Christians to Roman Catholicism. Alexander Nevsky (Named for the river at which he defeated the Swedes in 1240), the "hero" of Russia led his army to a frozen strait. When the Teutonic (German) knights attacked the ice broke and most of the knights, horses and supplies, were lost to the river.
This "saved" Russian Orthodox Christianity and later this victory would serve as a "rally" cry during WW II, when the Germans invaded. Soviet posters adorned with Nevsky's image and his victory against the Teutonic (Germans- see the connection) knights. He would be like a "Davy Crockett" for Americans, or some other heroes you might think of being used as a symbol of patriotism in the US.
