  1. The painting is of the Orthodox St. Alexander Nevsky (1220-1263)leading the attack on either the Roman Catholic Swedes or the Roman Catholic Livonian/Teutonic Knights (I forget which). Nonetheless it certainly is stirring.

    1. Wrong battle, it is the battle of Kulikovo field where Russa broke the Tatar Muslem yoke.
