About the battle
The Battle of Javad was a military engagement of the Russo-Persian War (1826–1828), fought on 14 October [N.S. 26 October] 1826 at the confluence of the Kura and Aras rivers near the village of Javad. A Russian detachment under Colonel Pyotr Mishchenko defeated the combined forces of Mostafa Khan of Shirvan and accompanying Persian regular infantry, driving them from the right (Russian) bank of the Kura and effectively ending the Persian-backed military occupation of Shirvan that had begun in July 1826.
