history

On June 18, 1391, the battle of the Kondurcha between the Golden Horde under Toktamish and the Emir Timur took place here, during which Toktamish was defeated against him in Timur's second campaign. The refugees of the Golden Horde were then pursued for two days to the banks of the Volga, which explains a three-day battle described in literature.
