Already modern Russia has already managed take part in 3 wars on the threshold of the 21st century. Who is more often than other countries and peoples were our adversaries on the battlefields? In the 17-18 centuries most of all, Russia fought with Sweden, with this country Russia converged on the battlefields almost 8 times, the last war ended in 1809, this is when having lost its province of Finland, the Swedes no longer fought against Russia. 
A photo from open sources The next country that is the most fought against Russia, it was Turkey, from the 18th to the 19th century Russian troops fought against the Turkish army in almost 7 wars, mostly always successful. And only one war ended unsuccessfully, this is the Prut campaign of Peter I. The last, 8 times Russia fought against Turkey at the beginning of the 20th century, in the first world war South Caucasus. Quite a lot of Russia fought against Poland. Of history knows that, starting almost from the 16th century, Russia and Poland with some interruptions fought against each other in 7 various wars and other armed conflicts. Interestingly, if in the 16th century the Russians waged a war of liberation against the Poles, then in the 19th century, now the Poles fought against the tsarist regime for their independence is when they raised two large armed the uprising, crushed not without difficulty by the Russian army. Were at the Poles and pretty decent successes in the fight against Russia, this is when in 1920 Red Bonaparte overestimated its capabilities and underestimated enemy, as a result, Soviet Russia received shameful defeat.

By the results of the campaign were eliminated all the gains of the Poles at the end 1920 year. The most formidable enemy of the Russian army in the fields The battles were, of course, the German (Prussian) army. With the Germans Russians fought on a large scale three times. But if in the 18th century during the seven-year war of the Prussians was smashed even by not very gifted Russians generals, then in the 20th century Russians and Germans fought to the death in two world wars in which the fate of everything was really decided of humanity. Russia also had other worthy opponents, so Russia converged with France on the battlefields four times, the most famous of them were the three wars, this is the war 1805 -1807 years., famous for the shame of Austerlitz, Patriotic of 1812, but also Of course the Crimean (Eastern) war. Fought against us four times Japan, in 1904-1905 they managed to overcome the tsarist army, and at sea and even more to win a brilliant victory, but later against The Japanese did not succeed in fighting the Red Army successfully. If in border conflict at Lake Hassan samurai with the Red Army fought on equal terms, then on Khalkhin Gol and further in Manchuria in 1945. they suffered utter defeats. Japanese diplomats still haven’t abandon efforts to smooth out the shame of their army with a kind of peace treaty in exchange for lost islands.
