Years: 1572 - 1572
The Crimean Tatars, undertaking another assault against Moscow in 1572, encounter Russians returning from the Russo-Turkish War of 1568-69, who help their countrymen defeat the Tatars at the battle of Molodi, about twenty-five miles from Moscow, after which the Tatars withdraw to the Crimea.
Devlet Giray's attempts have been unsuccessful, but still he manages to impose annual monetary and fur tributes on some of the Russians and Ukrainians living in the south.
