Holy Russia, Myth or Reality?

Madame again on the estates. Soldiers herded like sheep to the slaughter, but in Russia there was no one to plow and sow. Hunger is the result of war and destruction, too. That was when there were street children. And the loans that purchased weapons. Even helmets bought in France. People did not like it and those who followed the faith of the king and the fatherland. Four years later he went under the red banners of the revolution, and the king that has led the country to disaster, brought to trial and received their just deserts. At the war loans it was then zazhirovala America, and we have a famine in the Volga region.
In the documents there are contemporaries who spoke the truth, and the king called bloody. You are apparently not affected. Actually, I'm sorry to waste time on your stupidity. Take your Zhorik and leave your stupidity.

Photos are wonderful, Prokudin-Gorsky - one of the most important figures in Russian photography. It's amazing how much effect it could be achieved using only three filters (red, green and blue).
His photos truly embodied an entire historical epoch: the people, their way of life, nature. And what scenery! I can not believe that it was filmed 100 years ago

Lived in Russia during the reign of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich (1629 - 1676) 17 years Yuri Krizhanich, a Croat and a Catholic, and saw a large part of what was then Russia, from its western borders to Tobolsk, condemned the extravagance of the Russian common: "People are even lower classes were hit with sable hats whole and the entire coat ... and what you can invent a more ridiculous than the fact that even black people and peasants wear shirts embroidered with gold and pearls? "Krizhanich required to" prohibit ordinary people to use silk, gold yarn and expensive red cloth to nobility differed from ordinary people. For nowhere unseemly to an insignificant clerk wore the same dress with a noble boyar ... Such ugliness does not exist anywhere in Europe. Poor people are saying are not able to be wasteful.

Indignant at Rasputin and the powerful prime minister. Although their position on the "Balkan Question" at many points, the intervention of Father Grigory "in politics was unbearable for Stolypin. Newspaper articles about the peasant in the palace undermined the prestige of the royal family, the fruits of dangerous rumors. Yes, and Stolypin repeatedly subjected to humiliation. As she wrote in her diary Bogdanovich: "About three weeks ago came with the report of Stolypin and waited for half an hour ... because the king was with his wife, who has sat in the bedroom this" Blazhko.

With the peasants, and not with him, Prime Minister, discussed the fate of the war in the Balkans! Stolypin and learned another word that could not disturb him. It turned out, his political rival, Witte has already established contact with Rasputin: A man comes to yesterday, now disgraced prime minister.

"I told him then:" Listen, why do you actually come to me? If you know about it, they will say that I've been looking through a rapprochement with the influential salons, but you say that you keep in touch with a menace to society "... Rasputin, invited me to talk very original and interesting views," - later recalled graph.

Meeting the king's favorite, with a liberal Witte, who in 1905 forced the king to grant a constitution, caused panic among the monarchists. Bogdanovich has noted in his diary: "Great danger is the fact that the" Blazhko "... sang with Witte Witte wants to regain power."

Stolypin reported that the man met not only with Witte. He has already participated in the discussion of candidates for top government posts - happy bride future chief procurator of the Synod!

And it was true. After all the trouble - with the investigation of Tobolsk consistory, with accusations of Theophanes, the activities of her sister Ella and her entourage - Alix was afraid that her enemies are using the synod to again accuse the elder in Khlystyism. And she decided to find loyal to Rasputin chief prosecutor.

At the beginning of this post discussed the candidacy of Vladimir Sabler. That's when Alix first decided to use an amazing method of "verification" candidate for the post: it was proekzamenovat "man of God". Given the special relationship "Our Friend" with the sky, he met the future head of the Synod was to the empress's quite logical.

The meeting took place, and Rasputin was able to see the full obedience to the candidate of "Father and Mother". And soon Sabler, a man with non-Russian name (he was from a family Russified Germans), to everyone's amazement put at the head of Russian church ...
