Battle of the Kalka River

Zaporizhzhian land is rich in historical events. Let’s concentrate on one of these events, namely on the first battle of Russian soldiers with Tatar-Mongols in May of 1223. The place where this battle took place cannot be considered to be completely ascertained in historiography.

Where do we have to look for the Kalka River, where is location of the “stone place” where the military camp of Kiev Knyaz Mstislav Romanovich was fortified?
