The Russian army is so severely devastated…

1696 CE to 1707 CE

The Russian army is so severely devastated after the Battle of Narva in 1700, one of the first battles of the Great Northern War, that Sweden has an open chance to invade Russia.

However, Charles does not pursue the Russian army, instead turning against Poland–Lithuania and defeating the Polish king, Augustus II, and his Saxon allies at the Battle of Klissow in 1702.

This gives Russia time to rebuild and modernize its army.
