What are the reasons for the victory of Russian troops in the Battle of the Neva?

There were several main reasons for the victory of Prince Alexander’s Novgorod squad in the battle on the Neva. First of all, it was the swiftness of the surprise attack and the numerical advantage of the Russians over the Danish-Swedish detachment of knights. Also, Alexander (later called Nevsky) played an important role, bravely fighting in the forefront, inspiring the soldiers to victory with his strength, heroism and personal example. The heavy weapons of the Swedes and Danes made it difficult for them to act against riflemen, mobile and dealing damage from a distance.
