Years: 1736 - 1736

The Russian Dnieper Army (sixty-two thousand men) under the command of Field Marshal Burkhard Christoph von Munnich on May 20, 1736, takes by storm the Turkish fortifications at Perekop and on June 17 occupies Bakhchisaray.

However, lack of supplies coupled with the outbreak of an epidemic forces Münnich to retreat to Ukraine.

The Russian Don Army (twenty-eight thousand men) under the command of General Peter Lacy with the support from the Don Flotilla under the command of Vice Admiral Peter Bredahl, on June 19 seizes the fortress of Azov.
