The Battle of the Vozha River (Russian: Битва на реке Воже, romanized: Bitva na reke Vozhe) was a battle during the Great Troubles, fought between the Principality of Moscow and Mamai's faction within the Golden Horde on 11 August 1378.[6] Mamai sought to punish Dmitri Ivanovich of Moscow (who had not yet received his nickname Donskoy) for refusing to pay the tribute.[7]
