Years: 1467 - 1467
The fragile peace between Moscow and the Tatars is broken in 1467, when Ivan decides to support his ally Qasim's claims to the Tatar throne of Kazan and declares war on the ruling khan Ibrahim.
Ivan's army sails down the Volga, with their eyes fixed on Kazan, but autumn rains and rasputitsa—the semiannual mud season—hinder the progress of the Russian forces.
When frosty winter comes, the Russian generals launch an invasion of the northern Vyatka Region.
The campaign falls apart for lack of unity of purpose and military capability, but many atrocities are reported when the Russian army devastates Udmurtia.
