“Why are we destroying the Russian land?”

116
920 years ago, 19 in October 1097, on the advice of the princes in Lyubech, the division of Russia into specific principalities was legalized. This council was preceded by a difficult epoch of Izyaslav, full of strife, trouble and blood, the internecine war of 1094-1097. and the war with the Polovtsy.

At the congress in Lyubech, heartfelt speeches were made about the structure of the world and about “almost destroying the Russian land”, and the Polovtsy “our land should be distributed”. However, despite the peace agreements reached, in the same year 1097 a new war broke out for destinies, this time in the west of Russia. The collapse of Russia was continued. The elite ambitions of the princes and the boyars eventually destroyed the empire of Rurikovich, and quite soon in historical terms it would become a relatively easy prey for the Western powers, directed by Rome, and so on. "Mongol-Tatars" (the same heirs of the continental Scythian state, like the Rus of Kiev and Vladimir).



Decomposition of the Russian state

After the death of Svyatoslav the Great (964-972), the period of decomposition of the Russian state begins. The elite ambitions of the princes, the narrow corporate interests of the boyars and merchants and the conceptual and ideological sabotage of the Byzantine version of Christianity against the background of the decline of the ancient pagan (Vedic) faith led to degradation and eventually to the disintegration and death of the Russian empire created by the works of the first Rurikovichs.

At first, Russia was stunned by the struggle of Svyatoslavich. The victory was won by Vladimir, who, in order to strengthen the princely power, first created the pantheon of gods, and then adopted the Byzantine version of Christianity. For this service, the fratricide and voluptuous owner of the harem with hundreds of concubines (where the wife of the murdered brother got into) was later called the church "holy." From this moment began a long period of the merger of Christianity and Russian paganism, which after a few centuries ended the creation of fiery Russian Orthodoxy (glory of right). But before that, the Greek missionaries, with the support of the princes and the boyars, tried to "civilize" the Rus. True, the overwhelming majority of the population adhered to paganism for several centuries, only externally accepting baptism. According to some researchers, another bloody civil war also took place in the years of Vladimir's rule in Russia - the struggle against the pagan "party". Christianity was accepted not so beautifully and voluntarily, as they later began to show, but through much blood. In addition, Vladimir to death has quarreled with the steppe (Pechenegs), with whom his father Svyatoslav had an alliance, and was forced to build a defense system on the southern approaches to Kiev.

His sons staged a new internecine war. According to the official version, it was started by Svyatopolk Okayanny (1015-1016), who killed his brothers Boris and Gleb. According to another version, the rebellion during the life of Vladimir was raised by the Prince of Novgorod Yaroslav, refusing to submit to Kiev. And Svyatopolk was the co-regent of the sick father and was preparing, along with his brothers, to crush rebellious Novgorod. After the death of Vladimir, Yaroslav and Mstislav refused to recognize Svyatopolk as a legitimate prince in Kiev. Only two brothers — Boris and Gleb — declared their loyalty to the new prince of Kiev and pledged to “honor him as their father,” and it would have been very strange for Svyatopolk to kill their allies. Jaroslav hired the Vikings to fight with the brothers and killed. The defeated Svyatopolk fled to Poland, to the father-in-law of Boleslav the Brave. In 1018, with the support of the Polish and Pecheneg troops, Svyatopolk and Boleslav marched on Kiev (How the Poles of Boleslav the Brave took Russian Kiev for the first time). The squads met on the Bug, where the Polish army, under the command of Boleslav, defeated the Novgorodians, and Yaroslav fled again to Novgorod. There he assembled a new army. Svyatopolk, quarreling with the Poles, was forced to flee again from Kiev from Yaroslav who had returned with the Vikings. He gathered an army. In the decisive battle on the Alta River, Svyatopolk suffered a decisive defeat and soon died. And the winner and his heirs - Yaroslav "the Wise" and Yaroslavichi - rewrote history in their favor, blaming all the blame for the civil war on Svyatopolk.

At the same time, Yaroslav was not the sovereign ruler of Russia for a long time. In 1023, another brother of Yaroslav, the militant Tmutarakan prince Mstislav, conquered Chernigov and the entire left bank of the Dnieper. In 1024, Mstislav defeated the troops of Yaroslav under the leadership of the Varyag Yakun under Leaves (near Chernigov). Mstislav transferred his capital to Chernigov and, sending ambassadors to Yaroslav, who fled to Novgorod, offered to divide the land along the Dnieper and stop the war: “Sit down in your Kiev, you are the elder brother, and I will have this side.” In 1026, Yaroslav, having assembled a large army, returned to Kiev, and made peace with Gorodets with his brother Mstislav, agreeing with his peaceful proposals. The brothers divided the land on the Dnieper. The left bank was reserved for Mstislav, and the right bank for Yaroslav. Yaroslav, being the Grand Duke, preferred to sit on the Novgorod table until 1036 year (the time of Mstislav's death).

Yaroslav asked the brothers to observe the "series", the order of inheritance. The elder, Grand Duke of Kiev, all were obliged to read and obey, like a father. But he also had to take care of the younger ones, to protect them. Yaroslav established a hierarchy of Russian cities and princely thrones. The first in rank is Kiev, the second is Chernigov, the third is Pereyaslavl, the fourth is Smolensk, the fifth is Vladimir-Volynsky. None of the sons remained without inheritance, each received possession according to seniority. But Russia was not divided. The younger princes submitted to the eldest, Kiev, important issues were solved together. Commons were not given to perpetual use. The Grand Duke will die, Chernigov will replace him, and the other princes will move along a kind of “ladder” (ladder) to higher “steps”. Other cities and lands were not allocated personally, but were attached to the main lands. The right bank of the Dnieper and Turovo-Pinskaya land departed to Kiev. Novgorod directly submitted to the Grand Duke. The two most important centers of Russia, Kiev and Novgorod, which determined the development of the Russian land, should have been in the same hands. Tmutarakan, other advanced outposts of Russia, lands on the Desna and Oka as far as Murom, etc., belonged to the Chernihiv table. But this order was quickly violated.

Heavy legacy Izyaslav

The Kiev table, after the death of Yaroslav, was inherited not by the strongest and most sensible of his son, like the warrior Svyatoslav or the bookshop Vsevolod. And Izyaslav - it was a weak ruler, who easily turned his wife and close. At this time, the trade-boyar, usurious (including foreigners - Khazar Jews, Greeks) top of Kiev, which enslaved the common people, sharply increased. To meet the ever-growing needs of the rich and powerful, taxes were increased, new taxes were introduced. In Kiev, predation flourished, embezzlement. The rich were nobles, boyars, merchants, Greeks, Jews, usurers, tiuny, collecting taxes. Nobles and boyars cleaned up the hands of the land and the village. The peasants, who yesterday were free community members, became dependent. The advisers suggested that the Russian Truth be edited - the laws of Russia. Laws came from ancient times, when there was no slavery and the vast majority of people were free community members. According to the Russian Truth, death was avenged by death. Now they made amendments - the blood feud and the death penalty were abolished, replaced with a money vira (fine). And if the offender can not pay, it can be sold to the same merchants, usurers. It is clear that the rich strata of the population could buy off a crime.

In the meantime, the situation on the steppe borders of Russia has dramatically worsened. In the steppe was a massacre. Polovtsi broke the Torks and Pechenegs. Those fled, some asked for Rus, becoming the "border guard". The time of the Polovtsian raids began. And Yaroslavich inside Russia themselves violated the order of the ladder. The great Prince of Kiev, Izyaslav, with his mercenary environment, removed Rostislav’s nephew (son of Vladimir Yaroslavich) from rich Novgorod. Soon Vyacheslav Yaroslavich Smolensky died. The transition began on the ladder. Igor was transferred from Vladimir-Volynsky, the fifth in rank of the city, to Smolensk. But he did not reign too long, fell ill and died. Rights to Smolensk received Rostislav. In full accordance with the ladder: when the brothers die, their sons begin to move up the stairs. At first he was the eldest, then the second-oldest, and so on. But Rostislav’s father, Vladimir, was older than Izyaslav. In this scenario, Rostislav was the fourth in line at the Kiev table! This did not suit the Grand Duke, his entourage, and Svyatoslav with Vsevolod. Rostislav walked ahead of the sons of the three main rulers of Russia. As a result, the law "edited." Like, when there was a distribution of inheritances, Vladimir was no longer alive. Therefore, Rostislav falls out of the system of a ladder. The children of the deceased brothers, Vyacheslav and Igor, were thrown out of the stairs. They became rogue princes. Smolensk and Vladimir-Volyn became the fiefdoms under the direct control of the Grand Duke and his people.

Rostislav was given Vladimir-Volynsky in feeding, but not according to the system of ladder, but from the Grand Duke's “bounty”. It is clear that Rostislav was offended. His father was the heir of Yaroslav the Wise, a favorite of Novgorod. And now his son is just a vassal of the Grand Duke, Izyaslav wanted - he gave Volyn, he wants - he will take it away, as Novgorod had previously taken away. And the descendants of Rostislav will not be able to climb the stairs, they will not be able to get Pereyaslavl, Chernigov and Kiev. Then Rostislav made an alliance with Hungary, married the daughter of the Hungarian ruler Bela. With such a father-in-law, the Volyn prince became independent from Kiev. However, in 1063, his patron Bela died. Alone Volyn was not to hold. The decisive and enterprising prince came up with one more move - he suddenly occupied Tmutarakan, which belonged to the Chernigov prince. Here he began to plan a trip to Chersonese or other Byzantine possessions. With such an inheritance, he became one of the most powerful princes of Russia and could claim the inheritance of his father. But the Greeks preventively poisoned the Russian prince.

Immediately began a new distemper. She began the independent prince of Polotsk Vseslav of Polotsk (Vseslav the Prophet), who was considered a sorcerer. Polotsk has long concealed a grudge against Kiev, even from the time when Vladimir I organized the pogrom of the Polotsk principality, killed the local prince Rogvolod, his sons, and forcibly took over his daughter Rogneda. When Rostislav brewed porridge in the south, the Polotsk prince decided that a big war would begin, the Yaroslavich brothers would be busy and would not be able to stop him. He plundered Novgorod. The brothers Yaroslavichi - Izyaslav, Svyatoslav and Vsevolod, in 1067, responded with a trip to Minsk. The city was taken by storm, the defenders killed. The townspeople were sold into slavery, Minsk burned. While Minsk was still holding, Vseslav gathered an army. In March 1067, the two armies converged on the Nemige River. The troops of the 7 days stood against each other in deep snow. Finally, Vseslav of Polotsk began a full-moon attack, and many warriors fell on both sides. The battle is described in the Word about the regiment of Igor: "... on Nemiga, sheaves are spread from the heads, beat with damasks, they put life on the current, blow the soul out of the body ...". The battle has become one of the largest and bitter internecine battles in Russia. Vseslav's troops were defeated. The prince himself was able to escape. Polotsk land was subjected to ruin. After 4 a month after the battle, Yaroslavlichi called Vseslav to negotiations, kissed the cross and promised safety, but they broke their promise - they grabbed together with two sons, took them to Kiev and imprisoned them.

“Why are we destroying the Russian land?”

Battle on Nemiga. Miniature from the Radziwill Chronicles

In the meantime, discontent with the princely government and the boyars continued to grow in Kiev. The cup of people's patience was overwhelmed by defeat from the Polovtsy. At the end of the summer of 1068, the heroic outposts reported that an enemy army was coming from the steppe. Princes Izyaslav, Svyatoslav and Vsevolod raised squads, but did not begin to gather infantry rati, so as not to waste time. They decided to meet the enemy on the far approaches, drove to the Alta River. Here, the prince's squads suffered a heavy defeat from the Polovtsy. Izyaslav and Vsevolod fled to Kiev, shut up. An avalanche of Polovtsians followed. The Russian land was not ready for the invasion, the villages were burning, the masses of people were full. Then the people of Kiev gathered the assembly and sent a message to the prince: “Here are the Polovtsi scattered throughout the land, give, prince, weapons and horses, and we will still fight them. ” However, the prince's entourage was afraid to arm the people. To know she was afraid of a popular uprising. Armed people refused. The crowd is seething. Enraged people defeated tysyatskogo court. After tysyatskogo remembered the Grand Duke. Like, why do we need such a weak and cowardly prince? They remembered that another prince, Vseslav Bryachislavich, was languishing in the dungeon and said: “Let's go, we will free our squads from the cellar”. Unfairly offended, the innocently injured Vseslav seemed a good candidate for the position of prince.

Izyaslav fled from Kiev to Poland and offered the Poles for help Cherven cities. In 1069, Boleslav marched with the army to Kiev. Kievans were ready to fight, said nothing and came to Belgorod. However, Prince Vseslav, feeling the instability of his position, left the army at Belgorod and fled to his native Polotsk. In the morning the army found out what was left without the leader and retreated to Kiev. Kievans called as peacekeepers Vsevolod and Svyatoslav. Kiev promised to surrender to the prince if he forgives the citizens and will not allow the Poles to ruin the city. The Grand Duke promised mercy, but he deceived the townspeople. He released only part of the Polish army, Boleslav remained with the other part of the army. In Kiev, the first to enter the son of the Grand Duke Mstislav, who did not give any vows. On the heads of the townspeople fell repression. And the Polish troops stationed in Kiev and the surrounding area. This caused discontent of the Russians, the Poles behaved as conquerors, did not stand on ceremony with the locals, took everything they wanted. As a result, the same story repeated as half a century ago — the Poles began to be beaten and kicked out.

The war continued with Vseslav of Polotsk. The brothers Izyaslav, seeing his "incompetence", soon came out against him themselves, when Izyaslav behind their backs began to negotiate with Vseslav. The brothers Yaroslavichi immediately went to Kiev and demanded that he leave the Kiev table. Izyaslav again fled to the West. The throne took Svyatoslav (1073-1076). Izyaslav also began to ask for help from Boleslav, then from the German Emperor Henry IV. The prince promised to recognize himself as a vassal of the Second Reich, to pay tribute if the emperor helps to occupy the Kiev table again. It got to the point that Izyaslav sent his son Yaropolk Izyaslavich to his father's father. On behalf of his father, he kissed the papal shoe, gave Russia under the authority of the "king of kings" Gregory VII, and even expressed his readiness to accept the Catholic faith. Pope in 1075, he crowned the royal crown of Yaropolk in Rome and granted him the linen of the holy throne to the Russian kingdom, the power in Kiev was to belong to Izyaslav and his son Yaropolk (For more details, see: Boleslav II the Bold and Izyaslav Yaroslavich against Kiev; How Russia planned to make "Lena of St.. Petra).

The position of Grand Duke Svyatoslav in Kiev was strong. Poland, at the direction of the papal throne, could not immediately support Izyaslav, since it was connected with the war with the Holy Roman Empire, and Russia was its ally. However, here Izyaslav lucky. In December 1076, Prince Svyatoslav Yaroslavich died suddenly. Vsevolod Yaroslavich, who occupied the Kiev table, found himself in a difficult situation. The Polovtsians again moved in the steppe. The next stage of the struggle between the Polotsk prince Vseslav Brachislavich and Yaroslavichi began. And the Polish king Boleslav immediately forgot about the alliance with Russia and how Svyatoslav helped him against the empire. He gave Izyaslav army, helped recruit mercenaries. In 1077, Izyaslav went to Kiev. Vsevolod chose to negotiate, rather than fight. Izyaslav took the Kiev table for the third time.

The third reign of Izyaslav was short-lived. The Grand Duke wisely forgot about his promise to go to Catholicism and subordinate Russia to the Roman throne. The struggle with Vseslav continued. Yaroslavichi organized two trips to Polotsk, inviting Polovtsy to help. In 1078, a new internecine war began. Their nephews, Oleg Svyatoslavich and Boris Vyacheslavich, were dissatisfied with their position against their uncles, Izyaslav and Vsevolod. Their base was the distant Tmutarakan. Connecting with Polovtsy, they broke Vsevolod on the river. Sozhitse. Vsevolod ran for help to Kiev. Izyaslav supported his brother: “If we have a part in the Russian land, then both of us. If we are deprived of her then both. I will lay down my head for you ”(and that’s what happened). Soon, the combined troops of the princes Izyaslav, his son Yaropolk, Vsevolod and his son Vladimir Monomakh spoke out against the offenders. The decisive battle on Nezhatinoy Niva happened 3 October 1078 year. Sich was angry. The rogue princes were defeated. Prince Boris died. The Grand Duke was mortally wounded in this battle.

Board of Vsevolod (1078-1093)

Great reign adopted Vsevolod. Reasonable prince tried to extinguish civil strife. He offered peace to Svyatoslavich. He was left to Tmutarakan, Oleg was offered the Murom-Ryazan principality. However, the princes refused to put up. In 1079, Oleg and his brother Roman gathered an army of representatives of the Caucasian tribes and Polovtsy, and again moved from Tmutarakan to Kiev. Vsevolod met them at Pereyaslavl. He was able to negotiate with the Polovtsian princes, who preferred to fight gold, took a ransom and turned it back. Vsevolod bribed Polovtsy, they killed Roman, and Oleg was given to the Greeks. They exiled him to the island of Rhodes, where he stayed for another fifteen years. Tmutarakan passed under the control of Kiev. According to another version, the Polovtsy were bribed by the Taman Khazars-Jews, who were tired of restless princes.

Destinations in Russia once again redistributed. The Grand Duke Vsevolod Yaroslavich did not offend the sons of the deceased brother Izyaslav - Svyatopolk left in Novgorod, Yaropolk gave Western Russia - Volyn and Turov principality. Left bank of the Dnieper gave his children. In Pereyaslavl he planted the younger son of Rostislav, Vladimir Monomakh - in Chernigov. For Monomah retained control in the Smolensk and Rostov-Suzdal principalities. Vladimir Vsevolodovich became the right hand, the main assistant of the sick father.

Vsevolod was unable to restore order and calm in Russia. Kiev trade-boyar elite accustomed to the weak prince Izyaslav, twirling them as she wanted. Vsevolod tried to promote his younger warriors, which caused discontent Kiev boyars. Yes, and the warriors themselves Vsevolod behaved not the best way. The prince could not keep track of them, in his old age he was ill, rarely left the palace, which was used by those close to him. Predatory continued. New managers vied with old, tried to get rich quickly.

There was no row in Russia. The struggle with Vseslav of Polotsk continued. At the turn of 1070-1080-ies the Polotsk prince conducted a campaign near Smolensk, plundered and burned the city. The Volga Bulgars captured Murom, made raids on the Suzdal lands. Again the tribes of the Vyatichi rose up, keeping loyalty to the old faith and having their own princes. Taking advantage of the weakness of the Kiev authorities, they generally fell away from the state. Polovtsi used the weakening of Russia, made raids. Torquay, who served the Grand Duke, seeing the weakening of the central government, revolted.

Vladimir Vsevolodovich had to put things in order with an iron hand. Now and then he raced with the squads to the north-west, then to the east, then to the south. In response, Vladimir ravaged the Polotsk land to Lukoml and Logozhsk, then conducted another expedition to Drutsk. At the beginning of the 1080-s, Vladimir Monomakh and Allied Polovtsy ruined and burned Minsk. Vseslav sat down in Polotsk, preparing for defense. But Monomakh did not go to him, and he did not become fixed in his principality. He took into account the past negative experience, when attempts to consolidate the Kiev troops in the Polotsk land led to a guerrilla war and an increase in the popularity of Vseslav among the local population. He resettled the local residents in his possessions near Suzdal and Rostov.

Monomakh visited the Oka, punished the Bulgars. He took on the hostile Polovtsy. When they went to Starodub, he broke them on the gums. Khans Asaduk and Sauk were captured. Then Vladimir made a new lightning strike and smashed the horde of Belkatgin Khan east of Novgorod-Seversky. Terrible prince-commander pacified and rebellious Torks.

At the beginning of the 1080s, two winter campaigns were conducted against the tribal alliance of Vyatichi. The fight was hard and bloody. The army of Vladimir laid siege to the capital of Vyatichi Kordno. The defense was headed by Prince Khodot and his son. Vyatichi fought back violently, went to the counter. Many brave warriors fell on both sides. The capital of the Vyatichi was taken, but Hodota left. Together with the pagan priesthood, he raised the people against the Monomakh troops. The battle was hard. Then the spit found on the stone. Vyatichi were masters of the forest war. Their militia swept away the professional squads, but the Vyatichi were strong in the forest, they set up ambushes. Skillfully used the knowledge of the area, went out from under the blow, suddenly counterattacked. Monomakh had to storm their oak fortresses, repelling the blows of detachments suddenly appearing in the forest. Along with men, as it was long accepted in Russia, women also fought. Surrounded by warriors preferred to kill themselves, not wanting to be captured. During the second campaign, Vladimir changed tactics. Instead of storming the remaining grades of Vyatichi and searching in the snowy forests of Khodot, he sought out pagan shrines. Vyatichi took an open battle, trying to protect the holy place for them. But in open battle, their militia lost to professional and better armed warriors. In one of these bloody clashes, the last prince of Khodyot Vyaticha Khodot fell, and the priests died. The resistance of the Vyatichi was broken, they resigned. Monomakh abolished the veche self-government of the Vyatichi, planted his governors. The lands of the Vyatichi entered the Chernigov principality.

And again, Vladimir did not know peace. Chased the Polovtsian troops. At the same time, the tough and victorious commander managed to be a zealous ruler, not repeating the mistakes of his father. In all cases he tried to grasp personally. Conducted unexpected inspections of cities and graveyards. He inspected the economy. He spoke with residents, the rules of the court and resolved disputes. Smolensk, completely destroyed, was rebuilt under his rule, Chernihiv was damaged after the wars and fires.

      All Rurikovich just ran away from the deeds of this very treacherous Rome, from Wagria, or in other words from Varyazhskaya Rus. They fled east, to another part of the same Russia, later named Muscovy. And now, for some reason, Great Russia is called "empire" - a fashionable foreign word.

          This is true about inventions. By the way, not only tales but also tales, all sorts of different stories, fiction, fiction, but why not yet invented, in general from all this chaos only the head goes around. And how not to believe, a person wants to believe in something: "either in Allah, then in ...", etc. A fairy tale - it is a fairy tale, so one must relate to it wisely.

                  But do you not allow self-sacrifice for the glory of the Motherland and in the name of Stalin? There is plenty of evidence that our fighters went on the attack with the cry "For the Motherland", or "For the Motherland, for Stalin." But there is no evidence that the soldiers went on the attack with the cry "For the glory of God" or "Christ is with us."

    All this nonsense is based on the Radzivilov Chronicle and the Tale of Bygone Years, which raise doubts about the authenticity. Fuel to the fire is added to the information that, when planning the celebration of the birthday of Kiev under the USSR, Ukrainian officials decently panned the age of this very Kiev in papers. So, not everything is as simple as being presented to us. No.
    Given the fact that under the Romanovs, the destruction of church books that reflected the PRESENT history of the state took a massive turn, historians have to invent history based on a small amount of source material. And to make us believe that Nizhny Novgorod got its name not because it was downstream of the Volga from the real Veliky Novgorod, but just like that, it’s so customary. And the invented Veliky Novgorod on Volkhov arose because of the confusion in the maps and whims of the Romanovs. But no one doubts that, as it is right now, although confusion in the annals leads to the idea that something is wrong here. But historians know better, they are historians laughing Therefore, Nizhny Novgorod is located downstream of the Volga from Veliky Novgorod, which is WESTERN than this place on a completely different river - Volkhov (although even the names of the rivers are consonant, which also leads to confusion request)

      Something I'm confused. "West of this place" - what do you mean?
      By the way, at the time of the founding of Nizhny Novgorod (the fact that at the confluence of the Volga and the Oka River, so as not to get confused), the beginning of the 13th century, if I’m not mistaken, the "bottom" for Novgorodians (from that Novgorod on Volkhov) was the common name of the lands of Russia located along the Volga and the Dnieper.

        The official told you this explanation laughing ? Do you believe in this nonsense? But isn’t it easier and more logical to believe that THIS Veliky Novgorod was the center of Russian land in the form of a number of cities around the Yaroslav Yard, that is. modern Yaroslavl, therefore a new city that appeared DOWN along the main trade artery of the Russian land of the Volga, was called Nizhny Novgorod, which is quite logical. But where is the logic in the alleged convenience for the Novgorodians of the official interpretation of such absurdity (for officialdom), I do not understand. And ask the official historian a simple question: WHY, according to the annals of Veliky Novgorod, after Grozny transferred the capital to Moscow, only the walls were demolished (in order to deprive the city of protection and downgrade its status), but modern Veliky Novgorod on Volkhov is worthless, and Yaroslavl is in full compliance with the annals (remained only towers without walls), but also in addition they find mass graves of human remains of the times of the Middle Ages (after the pogroms), and this is not observed in the city of V.

          I agree that any information needs to be evaluated through the prism of its own common sense, I always tried to do just that.
          Which tells me my common sense.
          The first one. The Novgorod Republic owned all the drains from the rivers, the Baltic Sea basin into the rivers, flowing in other directions - Usvyaty (Zap. Dvina, further Dnieper), Vyshny Volochek (Volga), Vologda (Sev. Dvina). In relation to all the lands lying on the banks of these rivers, Novgorod land was "higher", and those, respectively, were "bottom".
          The second one. Novgorod itself is much older than most cities of White Russia and Zalesye, so the assumption that the toponymy of these areas was formed under the influence of immigrants from Novgorod seems to me correct.
          The third. Novgorod, of course, as a transit point of trade was much more important than any another city in Russia, since it intercepted most of the possible lines of trade routes through eastern Europe in the meridional direction. Any other city (Smolensk, Polotsk, Kiev,) kept only one of the paths. Therefore, Novgorod was richer and stronger than each of these cities. That is why the Novgorod Republic was able to master and subjugate vast territories in the Russian North, in the Urals. Actually, and Zalesye, i.e. The Volga-Oka interfluve, was originally in the sphere of influence of Novgorod and was finally lost to them after the battle on Zhdan-mount in 1135.
          I can’t agree with your assumptions regarding Yaroslavl, if only because the same arguments would also apply to Tver and Gorodets, for example. As for Yaroslav's Court in Novgorod the Great, he was there, on the right bank of the Volkhov River, its location is described in so many sources that I personally have no doubt.
          Regarding the walls of Novgorod and Yaroslavl, unfortunately, I will not say anything. I was not specifically interested in this issue, but I do not want to invent facts. I will only note that even if everything is exactly the way you write with archaeological research (I can doubt it because I don’t know what sources you used), then even in this form your assumption about the primacy of Yaroslavl as the political center of Russia over other cities in XI- XII centuries It seems to me completely groundless. About 500 years passed between the children of Yaroslav the Wise and Ivan the Terrible, Novgorod the Great and Yaroslavl in their significance at all times until the 18th century. were completely incomparable.
          It seems to me that logic and common sense are just on my side. This, of course, if one evaluates the available facts objectively and not biased.

And it’s nothing that, in your opinion, the ancient merchants on the so-called “Varangians to Greeks” trade route look like complete idiots when they, on their way to Europe, having climbed the Dnieper, reach the Western Dvina, and spit on it from the heart, go further north, through the practically non-navigable Lovat? And then they go through Lake Ladoga, the most dangerous for shipping from all lakes (in order to prevent the loss of hundreds of ships every year under Peter the Great, they began to dig a canal along the southern shore of the lake, but Peter had nowhere to go - he already started building Petersburkh), then he went down along the Neva River, they end up in the Gulf of Finland, then in the Gulf of Riga, where they actually could have been a couple of months ago, just having gone down to it along the calm navigable Western Dvina in 3-4 days, when they reached the Western Dvina in the place from where, according to the followers, the ideas of the way "from the Varangians to the Greeks" through Novgorod supposedly popped into Lovat.

              No less, and even more profitable Smolensk is Polotsk. Speaking of Polotsk. I get the impression that historians who introduced the version of the Great Way from the Varangians to the Greeks through Veliky Novgorod somehow realized the difficulty of introducing it into the minds precisely because of Polotsk. Therefore, they somehow so neatly led the Russian Polotsk beyond the framework of Russian history. Like, an independent dynasty ruled there, not that it had nothing to do with Rurikovich, but split off from the "main" branch of Rurikovich - the descendants of Vladimir Krasno muzzle, because, like a son from Rogneda, it’s not like Rurikovich. Although theoretically it is his offspring that is the oldest branch of the Ruriks. Similarly, in the historical shadow stands the already mentioned Smolensk. For it also interferes with historians - supporters of the version of the Great Way from the Varangians to the Greeks through Novgorod on the Volkhov.

              In the description of the Battle of Neva, it is said that the ladok’s warden arrived in time to help Alexander Nevsky. And no one has a question. Why did Alexander come to battle earlier? After all, the path was supposed to run through Ladoga? But in those days, Novgorodians did not go to the West through Ladoga and Neva. There was a direct road along the Luga River to the Gulf of Finland. The water level in those days was 4-8 meters higher, and therefore the Luga River connected directly to Lake Ilmen through the Shelon River. Now this can be done through the Meadows - Kiba - Mshaga - Shelon. Knowing that previous water level, it is easy to assume that Lovat was navigable almost to the Dnieper, and that along the Pole River, which flows into Ilmen, one could reach Polotsk. PS Residents of Novgorod are called Novgorodians, and residents of Nizhny (Novgorod) Nizhny Novgorod. It should be clear that Nizhny is not Novgorod.

                  Why do you think that if Ilmen’s level was 4 meters higher, then the level of the Baltic should be so much higher. The Volkhov River was formed by the appearance of a ravine in the area of ​​the modern settlement of Krasnofororny. Then, after the Volkhov River was formed, after the overflow of Lake Ladoga, the Neva River was formed. Excavations in the region of the Okhta River showed that the village appeared even before the Neva River appeared. Thus, it turns out that St. Petersburg is even older than the legendary Slovensk. It is possible that the inhabitants of this village gave the primary names of the Volkhov River - the Mutnaya River, and Lake Ilmen - the Moisko Lake, and told Sloven and Rus about the places where you can settle.

And if you mean the theory that 6 thousand years ago, only Ilmen’s level was higher, but then as a result of a breakthrough it fell to the present - then I can notice that according to the official history 6 thousand years ago there were neither Greeks nor Varangians. I’ll add from myself that there was no need for the exchange of goods, especially between such remote regions. Well, the problem of the Western Dvina disappeared. If 6 thousand years ago there was a larger catchment of the rivers feeding Ilmen, then there was also a larger catchment of the rivers creating the Western Dvina. And it, too, was a deeper and wider river than today.

                      I agree with you that 6000 thousand years ago there were no Greeks, and there was no need for the exchange of goods, but there were Slavs (genus R1a1) and Rus (genus I). Rus were engaged in salting, hence their name is Varangian-Rus, and the mitten is a mitten for cooking salt. Rus on Ilmen founded a village by the salt lake. But how can one explain the desire of the Slavs to the east, if there was no need for exchange of goods. I’m sure that the Zapadnaya Dvina basin was developed much earlier than the shores of Lake Ilmen, but they didn’t stop there, but continued their movement further east, and after 500 years, according to geneticists, they came from Ilmen along the Mste and Mologa rivers to the Volga, and then to the Urals, where they founded Arkaim, and not just one but several, and began to melt copper and iron there. In my opinion, everything suggests that the Slavs had knowledge and technology for smelting metals, but did not have access to raw materials in the era of the Stone Age. Without this, a dozen millennia will not be enough to learn how to get iron from swamp ore.

            "Novgorod the Great and Yaroslavl in their significance at all times up to the XNUMXth century were completely incompatible."
            All disputes arise from ignorance or misunderstanding of the names. Yaroslavl, as well as Yuryev (now Tartu) were founded by Yaroslav the Wise, who was born in Novgorod, therefore Yaroslavl cannot be older than Novgorod because Yaroslav cannot be older than Novgorod in which he was born.
            Now, what does Mr. Veliky Novgorod mean? Novgorodians call the city simply Novgorod. Veliky Novgorod was understood as a territory that was influenced by the ends of Novgorod. Nerevsky - North and North-West, where Ugro-Finnish tribes and nationalities lived - Sum, Em, Izhora, Vod, Chud, Karela and others, Slavensky - South from Kiev to the Southern Urals And Ludin end - western lands. Thus, the word Veliky Novgorod meant the entire territory of Novgorod Land. By the word Mr. was meant the designation of the city as the capital of the state, the main city of Novgorod Land.

          A beautiful version about Veliky Novgorod on the Oka. And I myself would like to believe in it. But there is one “BUT” - the VARYAGI, and all that is connected with them, namely: 1) the participation of the Varangians (Western Russians, “watching” the Baltic so to speak) in the political life of Veliky Novgorod for several centuries - this is a fact; 2) the way "from the Varangians to the Greeks" doesn’t climb through the Oka; 3) Rurik and his Varangians-Rus pillaged the citadel in Ladoga, which is also in the land of that very "northern" Novgorod - this also has no rebuttals today; 4) the city of Slovensk, based on the river Mutnaya “now recommending Volkhov”, cannot be thrown out of the annals, that is, Novgorod is “northern” - in any case, an important city, not an outback. As a result, thinking reasonably, it does not work in any way that Veliky Novgorod (where the princes of the sons imprisoned) was attached to Oka. I would like, but ... no way. Although I completely agree that the large and important cities of the Slavic tribes from ancient times were in Moscow (Moscow), and on the Oka, and even on the White Lake, in the Vologda land, because our ancestors did not run anywhere, as they have been sitting on the lands of Rassenia for thousands of years , including the "culture of battle axes," and sat. The fact that many of these cities of the great have faded and faded from memory are the fruits of the Christianization of Russia. "Survived" exclusively those where the Christians of the churches poked. Here the author rightly noted Kordno, the city of Vyatichi. What we know about him today is nothing but a flimsy mention hidden deeper than the deep. To the monks to leave a mention of the Russian cities of "non-Christians" was not only unnecessary, but generally dangerous. Today we know a lot about Voronezhets from ancient chronicles, but nothing again. But there are oral epics, and the "Hun" cities have recently been unearthed. In general, throwing Novgorod the Great to the place of Nizhny Novgorod / Yaroslavl is passionate in the debate, and in fact, generally reducing the number of ancient Slavic cultural centers.

In fact, Slovensk is exactly where it should be according to the description (On the right bank of the Volkhov River, 3,5 km south of Novgorod, at a depth of 4 meters from the surface opposite Peryn.

You know, I was very annoyed by your categorical statements, based on don’t understand what, don’t understand how, until I realized that behind all this activity is just terry ignorance, covered as a patchwork with the most superficial knowledge in the field of pseudo-history and pseudo-linguistics. If all this is multiplied by a fierce, fanatical conviction that you are right, which, in principle, is characteristic of limited people, it is likely that what we have in your face is obtained.

Call black itself white and red green if you want, but let normal people call a spade a spade: Germany - Germany, Prussia - Prussia, the Tatar-Mongol yoke (the period of political dependence of Russia on the nomadic steppe states) - the yoke, the Mongols - Mongols and Europe - Europe.

          The term "nomadic state" is nonsense. The state cannot be nomadic. There may be a state in which a significant part of the inhabitants is engaged in seasonal nomadic cattle breeding. That is, cattle are driven in a circle (square, oval, and so on) depending on the time of year. But at the same time there are residents living settled.

            Even as you can.
            Nomadic state is a term adopted in historical literature to refer to a special form of organization of power inherent in nomadic societies. The basis of such a state was not infrastructure (caravan routes and cities (settlements), centers of trade and crafts) in a certain territory (which was also not excluded), but the strategically important importance of land, the possession of which gave the basis for the existence of the state.

                Example. In the forests on the territory of partly present-day Canada, partly the United States, once lived nomadic Iroquois who possessed notables. The question is whether the Iroquois had a state. We have the same thing: Sami, Nenets, Evenki, Khanty, Mansi, Yakut, Chukchi, Koryak, Buryats, Tuvans ... they all owned land. But no one, including the “historical literature” you have taken as the standard of truth, believes that all of the above were states. While exactly the same hulk (which in the 19th century “historical literature” began to call “Mongols”), the state allegedly existed. The same with respect to various Kazakh zhuzes and the mass of other tribes.

          There is such a thing in psychiatry and psychology as obsession (lat. Obsessio - “siege”, “embracing.” The main symptom of the obsession is various and multiple obsessive ideas and thoughts. I emphasize the word “obsessive”, which means strangers, not their own, but based on their psychological, some kind of subconscious conflicts, phobias, and most importantly pride, which Dolboslavs clearly trace in their idea of ​​past greatness and world domination and genetic features (typical Nazism, by the way) and the loss of all this for the reason that they all have one, - the origin of Christianity, they have no other reasons, the rest is a consequence. If they are obsessive, alien and not their own, then the question arises: whose? Below I wrote about a friend who was Dolboslav, and so he said, only later, after recovery, the word “recovery” I write without quotes that this idea simply took hold of him and occupied his head, there was great interest in it and sometimes, even in that state, he noticed that someone kinda feeds this idea in his head t and in every possible way protects from logical understanding, and when thinking, an internal dispute arose that naturally played out and the idea occupied consciousness even more. That is, your definition of limitedness, in this case, can be interpreted as limitedness not mental, but limitedness created and maintained, which, as the example of my friend showed, disappears after recovery.

            Some have "about the past greatness and world domination of their nation." Others have "about the past greatness and world domination of a foreign Mongolian nation and about the past humiliation of their nation." From the point of view of psychiatry, that one deviation, that another deviation, are one and the same. But choosing from two equivalent deviations, I cannot help but notice that that which exalts its own nation is at least pleasing to the soul. Russian soul, of course.

    Another dolboslavets ... First, how did the adoption of Christianity contribute to the collapse of Russia? This connection is only in the minds of the authors who were slightly moved in paganism. Just because Christianity. It also caused decay everywhere.
    Secondly, the version of the assassination of Boris and Gleb by Yaroslav is based solely on one saga of Scandinavian origin, which was recorded 300 years after the events. It’s possible to add any kind of science fiction to the case, the benefit of alternatives in history is now a dime a dozen. In fact, Svyatopolk is no son to Vladimir (but the son of his brother Yaropolk, whom Vladimir had slaughtered in the negotiations at the time), and Gleb is not "just a prince", but just the heir to Vladimir, who was given an army for a raid against the Pechenegs. And then they could give an army only to those whom the Old Man decided to leave the throne.
    The reasons for the collapse of Russia are a wagon and a small cart. The leaf system itself, ideal in concept to maintain unity, in fact led to disintegration. The idea was gorgeous: each prince is given a chance to sit on the main throne, but he must be occupied in turn. But, as it is not difficult to understand, she would be good if the princes did not breed, like all people. As a result, the queue swelled, the chance to be the prince of Kiev fell exponentially, until finally those who stood farthest from the throne began to pursue their military strength, and then realized that it was better to have their own specific tit in their hands than the distant Kiev crane in the sky. Which ended with the Lubech Congress and the principle "everyone is holding his homeland." And there were also economic reasons for the split: the decline in the value of the trade route "from the Vikings to the Greeks." While Kiev kept this, albeit under control, something fell from all the princes. But then the First Cross happened, Europe broke through a shorter trade route to Eastern goods, the sense of unity around the trade route structure fell, and with it the need to stick together was gone. More or less unity was maintained while there was a real Polovtsian danger, but after the campaigns of Vladimir Monomakh and his son, the Polovtsy were besieged, and after the death of Mstislav the Great, the last vestiges of unity collapsed. From now on, it was supported only by the cultural affinity and position of the Church, which was so fiercely denounced by a certain Samsonov, an admirer of a certain "Vedic faith." Meanwhile, it was precisely Christianity in the form of Orthodoxy that supported the idea of ​​unification and in the end was able to break through this idea in alliance with the Principality of Moscow, which so far was not on the political map ... But where the position of the Church was weak, for example, in Volyn and in Galicia, everything went very bad there and these regions generally fell out of the Russian world.

      How would I explain this to you: terminologically, Christianity itself is divided into several branches, more often people confuse concepts. For example, the Russian Orthodox Church (Orthodox) emerges in 1943, in a terrible war when no one cared to understand what Orthodoxy is, what Christianity is, and what the Vedic religions are. Until the end, there is no clarity about the time of the appearance of the Greek Orthodox Church - after all, no information about that time has been preserved. almost everything is destroyed. It is known that after the defeat of Byzantium, Moscow was already the "Moscow Patriarchal Church of the Greek Rite" - I note that it is also Orthodox and not Orthodox. Orthodoxy in Russia has been for centuries, a record of the XNUMXth century on Orthodoxy in Russia was recorded. Only this one the form of Orthodoxy was Vedicwhether it was Christian or not is difficult to answer, but the Greeks have nothing to do with it. In Russia before Peter, after his arrival from abroad, Greek Christianity was misunderstood, everyone used the Vedic Russian-speaking Orthodox faith, and the Greek Christians of the Moscow Patriarchate made up a fraction of a percent of the population. No one knew either the Greek language or Hebrew, in which the books of this Christianity were written, only the close associates of the king could understand something there. So what you write here is very far from reality, apparently this topic is far from you and you do not care what you wrote. Try to take a closer look at basic concepts. See: Shpakovsky ("caliber") never writes such nonsense, because he is silent, but he doesn’t dare to lie so thoroughly. But others, as it were, are allowed everything, given their total lack of competence in these matters. It would be nice for you personally to better understand the basic concepts of religions and at least their names.

          "Eastern branch of Christianity"- unlike the western branch, the Roman Catholic Church has its own name, namely, the Greek Orthodox Church, and until now our foreign branch has the name" Russian (foreign) Orthodox Church ", that is, the Russian Orthodox Church (foreign) ", and the term" Orthodoxy "was officially introduced for the first time only during the war in 1943. Who then thought to understand the meaning of such ancient Russian words. Therefore, when reading materials about pre-Christian, especially before Rurik Rus, natural misunderstandings necessarily arise. The term itself "Orthodoxy" was recorded back in the XNUMXth century, before the official adoption of Christianity, which we recognized as Russian, but which of the Russian people in Russia adhered to this new religion is a fraction of a percent, so it was proposed to translate the scriptures into some almost Russian language called " Church Slavonic ", which was done only in the XNUMXth century. So consider how many people in Russia understood this strange Greek religion. The ovine mass as it was according to the Orthodox tradition (before the Christian sense) remained. Even under Peter I, all the old religions (Old Believers) were banned under pain of death, and a lot of people were then implanted, and the term Orthodoxy remained in the memory of people, why the "Greek Orthodox" was simply renamed the "Orthodox". Now go, explain something to people, they don’t understand, and even that ..

      I agree. And these reasons are primarily economic, not political. Each principality at that time could exist and develop separately, without needing trade relations with its neighbors. Only Novgorod could not feed itself, but this factor has been noted only since the 12th century; during the period described, its population has not yet reached such an amount as to be dependent on food imports. The Lubech Congress simply fixed “de jure” what has long been established “de facto”.

      Again, I agree. It was the Orthodox Church that was the spiritual bond that allowed subsequently to unite Russia again. If Russia had remained in paganism with its religious tolerance and indifference to everything, Catholics and Muslims would have pulled us apart. And so you throw the cry "For holy Russia, for Orthodox faith" and it becomes very clear to a simple person what it is necessary to fight for, who is his own and who is the enemy.

What, in the Novgorod gardens did not grow turnips with cabbage? In the Novgorod forests there was a poor harvest of saffron milk, and all the hares, wild boars and moose fled to Europe? Novgorod cows stopped milking, and Novgorod chickens stopped rushing? In Novgorod marshes, crop failures of cranberries? Did fish and crayfish disappear in Novgorod rivers and lakes?

      The way from the Varangians to the Greeks and from the Greeks to the Varangians through Kiev and Novgorod is a chimera, designed to somehow support one of the most stupid versions in Christianity: the journey of a certain "Apostle Andrew" from Korsun to Rome through Kiev, Novgorod, Lake Ladoga, Finnish Gulf, Baltic .... Well, anyway, if you go from Moscow to St. Petersburg through Krasnoyarsk. For the connection of Constantinople with the Vikings, the Danube is best suited. In the Regensburg area there is now a canal connecting the Danube with the Rhine. Previously, there was a drag.

      There is something in this version. No wonder the Christian missionaries who spread Christianity among the warlike Indians didn’t particularly pedal such basic tenets of the Christian religion as: “hit you on the right cheek - turn the left one” and “love your enemy”. The last postulate of another year was transformed into "love your enemy killed by you." Otherwise, the Indians would simply despise this submissive religion. It is unlikely that the freedom-loving Slavs, whose custom was blood feud, immediately began to unite under the flag of the idea "hit me on the right cheek - I will substitute the left." Christianity is a religion aimed at preventing the people from speaking out against their oppression by the ruling elite. And it could be implanted among the people only in conditions of an already sufficiently strong state.

      Perhaps in no way. But the official history tells us that while the rulers of Russia were not Christians, Russia was one (toleg, Igor, Svyatoslav). And to divide it into destinies was the first ruler, Christian Vladimir.
      Again, it is possible, but not a fact, if Christianity had not been adopted, the Scandinavian or even Ottoman principle of maintaining the unity of the country could have been adopted in Russia. The Scandinavians younger brothers of the ruling king were expelled, the Ottomans destroyed. The principles are seemingly tough. But useful for the country. In the Ottoman Empire, a semblance of civil war was recorded only once, when the ruling Sultan Bayazid was captured and soon died there.
      Whose son Svyatopolk is is unknown. The chronicler with a candle was not standing by anyone. And indeed the exact number of even the so-called "legitimate" sons of Vladimir is not exactly known. And in relation to those who are of the type “known,” official science is confused - who comes from which mother.
      What the army could give only to the heir is only your guess. First, it is not known which part of the army Gleb took away. Is the whole army, is it half, a third, a quarter? Secondly, the army could lead any governor, not related to the "princes of blood."
      About the fact that the Crusades struck a short let, even to oriental goods - also purely your speculation. No influx of eastern goods into Europe after the Crusades was recorded in history. Well, except for trophies. But there are no goods — all kinds of spices.
      The path from the "Greeks to the Vikings", if there was one, then passed along the Danube. Some branches could pass along the waterways "Southern Bug - Western Bug". In extreme cases, along the Dnieper-Western Bug-Vistula waterway. In the most extreme "Dnieper-Western Dvina". But no way through Lake Ladoga.
      By the way, given that even according to your "crusader" version, eastern goods were delivered to ports of the eastern Mediterranean by land, it seems strange that everything in Europe should have been delivered exclusively by waterways.

    Under the emperor: Adventists, Baptists were banned, Stalin preferred traditional religions: Islam and Christianity, and at the beginning of the sixties Baptists were allowed, Adventists were allowed twenty years later, and with the "red nose" they were allowed all Satanists, astrals (they are dictated by everything at the astral level) Jehovah's Witnesses, and how many divorced the "gods and the Virgin" divorced.

      .. remember how many centuries ago Orthodoxy was established in our country. ..

      This is an interesting topic, maybe you shouldn't talk about it, but just take a closer look at it from all sides. Why does no one want to remember that the Russian Orthodox Church arose only in 1943? But did there exist a certain Orthodox church in the Republic of Ingushetia, like Peter the Great forbade all non-Christian (non-Avramic persuasion) concessions. Or is it not so? So still: "how many centuries ago Orthodoxy was established in our country"is there any sober answer to this? I think that under the term" Orthodoxy "different people imagine anything, not bothering with the true deep meaning of this word. I think that the level of zombies of the bulk of people has long gone beyond all limits!

      No! No! No kidding! It passes, is treated! I met and personally knew such a dolboslav, the Aryan to the core, very ancient and, most importantly, a terrible hater of the whole Orthodox ... Although a friend, I constantly tried to hurt and humiliate me by the fact that they, as they say, give myself to deceive and I believe in what no normal person will believe. True, he did not drink medicine, at least he did not tell. Once he fell ill ... and the medicine didn’t help him and he turned for help to his ancient hyperaic gods and their other Dolboslav practice, but ... he felt incomparably worse, clearly began to notice in his conversation that he had begun to “become inflamed in places” "psyche. There were skin and bones from him, gray-green skin, skin on his hands cracked to bleeding wounds. And then, as he says, he turned to Christ, who was hated before him, to the one whom he had blasphemed and everything connected with Him ... He went into the Temple in a cold and snowstorm and repented, simultaneously frightening with his appearance the tormented "Buchenwald", before that hated by fierce hatred, father ... Two and three months later he ceased to be that "Buchenwald man, a smile beamed on him.
      And what is important! He, as the apostle Paul from the persecutor, became a Christian, observes all fasts and teaches me not to "mow" from Wednesday and Friday. According to this, God is strong, I note, the Christian God, to change any dolbloslav.

        Representatives of each religion can tell such incredible stories of incredible numbers. A mullah can tell how one day a Christian emancipated into a mosque in a cold and a blizzard against him in a mosque ... And there is no more zealous Muslim than that former Christian. A Buddhist lama can tell the same thing about a Christian and a Muslim who, in a cold and blizzard, crawled on stones and mud for three days and nights in his mountain datsan in order to finally fall to the roots of truth and there are no more successful Buddhists now than they are . The same is Hare Krishnas, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and so on. By the way, I believe that the Rodnovers can also give a mass of examples about the arrogant Orthodox who came to them. Unless the Jews can tell anything like this - not that policy of principles.

            Yes, yes, you are right! There are some - "personally communicating." And among them there is someone whom, according to their assurances, God chose to transmit information about the methods of "saving the soul" to all mankind. Here they sometimes creep out in the area of ​​various metro stations. Again, there are those who, after "personal communication with God," refuse to receive a TIN, refuse to receive a blood transfusion, even to their critically ill children. And all with links to the "special information" obtained in the course of "personal communication" with God. Well, or referring to a neighbor who claims that he "personally communicated with God" and in the course of communication, God "forbade receiving a TIN" and asked all Orthodox to warn about this.

                From the site ORTHODOX.RU
                Section: SINODAL BOGOSLOVSKY COMMISSION ON THE PROBLEM OF INN
                "The Orthodox, accepting the TIN, becomes an apostate at the same time, and consciously stigmatized him as the Christ seller .. The path of the faithful after their shepherd Christ, through Golgotha ​​to the Kingdom of Heaven. The path of the infidels behind the false shepherds (wolves in sheep's clothing), lentil stew, silver pieces, earthly blessings of the prince of this world into fiery hell "[(Coding - a semblance of an apocalyptic press. Kiev, 1998, p. 59). (Opening address // Orthodoxy or death! Journalistic almanac. Issue 15. The penultimate choice. M. 2000, p. 4) http://www.sinor.ru/~oprichnik/st11.htm]

                The absence of a clearly expressed general church point of view leads to the fact that many people are now perplexed and even confused, believe in ridiculous rumors and the above-mentioned insanities. Some, succumbing to panic and under the influence of unreasonable confessors, quit their job, sell houses and apartments, and go into forests or mountains. This is the reality of our days. Ordinary laymen and monks were the victims of our disagreements. Archpastors, elders, famous priests make completely opposite judgments. In one famous monastery they don’t receive communion, and in another, no less famous monastery, they are excommunicated for refusing to enter the TIN.

                It is imperative for us to overcome the spirit of separation, mistrust and alienation, avoiding mutual condemnation and intolerance. Those who have different points of view need to come to terms with one another, get away from extremes and find a basis for developing a church-wide point of view, which the most famous elders, confessors, viceroys of stavropegic monasteries could agree with, and which could become the basis of a special message from the Holy Patriarch or the decision of the Holy Synod .

                It is even more necessary now to achieve from state power providing their Orthodox citizens with a reasonable and acceptable alternative to TIN and other types of computer control.

But it is precisely in Orthodoxy that they especially listen to holy fools. Fools, of course, are not drawn to saints in Orthodoxy. But in the category of "blessed" - these clicks are quite pulling.

        The Slavs in the days of the Rurikovich did not call their lands Russian, did not call the Khazars. But the Rus or the Khazars immediately called the land Russian, if they collected tribute - a fee for serving as a mercenary army or for not robbing.
        The chroniclers fed themselves from the hands of the Russians (the tithe of the collected tribute, deducted by the Rus of the Byzantine church, whose faith was accepted at that time only by the Rus, and not the Slavs) and wrote, in accordance with the charter of their church, considered the whole world and world order, from the point of view of the Old Testament under this describing only the deeds of the princes and not mentioning the actual life of the Slavs in those days. Therefore, we do not know anything about Veche and the state of Slavia.
        But even in the same annals of Nestor it is said (until this moment, Nestor does not speak of Russia, but speaks only of Slavs):
        "In the year 6360 (852), indicator 15, when Michael began to reign, the Russian land began to be nicknamed. We learned about this because at the same time Russia came to Constantinople, as it is written in the Greek chronicle." Pichem wrote Nestor annals almost 250 years after 852 years (the years of Nestor's life 1056-1114). That is, the concepts that have been historically substituted and the point of view of Nestor is not Slavic-centric, but the point of view of the apostate and traitor, who joined religion that was alien to the Slavs in those days, an alien worldview and counting the time from the reign of the Byzantine emperor Michael (drunkard). The Russians called themselves Rus, the nickname given to them by the Finns and used by the Slavs. They declared themselves Rus in their campaigns. They could even call the Slavic lands Russian on the basis of receiving tribute from the Slavic lands.
        The chronicler looked at what was happening from the perspective of the Rus. It should be noted that only those sources that whitewashed the princes survived, therefore our people are deprived of their true history.

    Supplement for Belisarius on "nomadic states" .. Example. In the forests on the territory of partly present-day Canada, partly the United States, once lived nomadic Iroquois who possessed notables. The question is whether the Iroquois had a state. We have the same thing: Sami, Nenets, Evenki, Khanty, Mansi, Yakut, Chukchi, Koryak, Buryats, Tuvans ... they all owned land. But no one, including the “historical literature” you have taken as the standard of truth, believes that all of the above were states. While exactly the same hulk (which in the 19th century “historical literature” began to call “Mongols”), the state allegedly existed.

    For the motherland! For Stalin! - what living witnesses say - war veterans.
    Fortunately, many more veterans are still alive. And, fortunately, there are people who want to know the truth and ask different questions to these veterans. They do interviews, post them on the Internet. Let’s see what live witnesses say - war veterans.
    1. Sysenko Alexander Stepanovich
    - As I understand from your story, in the battles for the height of 905 you had to rise to the attack. Tell me: how did you feel? Did they shout “For the Motherland!” For Stalin "?
    - I have had to get up to attack more than once. What was the feeling? Only one thing: ours takes. They thought: if it’s necessary, then it’s necessary. And about the screams "For the Motherland, For Stalin!" - this was as much as you want. All the time with these names went into battle.
    2. Dementiev Nikolay Ivanovich
    - What was your attitude to Stalin, the party?
    - We were convinced that we would win, while Stalin had a very good attitude. And when they went on the attack, we always shouted: "For Stalin! For the Motherland! Forward!" Near Odessa, we shouted: “Half-a-half! For the Motherland, for Stalin, go ahead!”
    3. Ivanov Alexey Petrovich
    “So this woman, when she heard such conversations, jumped out of the house and started shouting straight at the running infantrymen:“ Where are you running so and so! Who are you throwing wounded comrades at? ” And it was so unexpected that everyone stopped, and as if a current ran along the human chain. some kind of captain, well done, correctly orientated himself, shouted: "For the Motherland, for Stalin!", and everyone immediately turned around and went back to the heights. "
    4. Kinyaev Alexander Petrovich
    -A few questions about your short stay at the front. When you were attacking under the White Church, what were your feelings? “For the motherland, for Stalin” shouted?
    - With this exclamation, it all started. When after when we ate porridge, we were lined up, they gave us weapons and led us on the attack, someone shouted: “For the Motherland! For Stalin !" And how everyone ran forward after that! I had only one thought in my head: “If only not to fall behind, how not to fall behind.” Such was the rise because of this. And there was absolutely no fear. Nothing! Do you understand? Stalin was very fond of.
    5.Derevyankin Nikolay Andreevich
    -Did you shout “For Stalin!”?
    -Shouted
    . It turns out to be a tradition. Rather, in the tsarist army they also shouted. Only one word: there “For the Tsar!”, And here “For Stalin!” When, I somehow ... They showed ... I say: "Duck, we yelled the same thing." Only one word was changed. How is it ... "For faith ..." In general, the last word of the "king" we began to shout "For Stalin!" And more, of course, obscenities ...
    6. Baldin Alexander Fedorovich
    “Well, what were you fighting for?”
    - For Mother Russia, for the Motherland, for Stalin, forward. So on the tower it was written in white, white: "For the Motherland, for Stalin!"
    .......
    75. Mamutov Amza Amzaevich
    - How do you feel about Stalin, the party?
    - During the war, Stalin was a law for me, I shouted: “Forward! For the motherland! For Stalin !" I fled with these words in my time into battle. I do not blame Stalin for anything; I was a member of the party. But I can’t figure out why I risk my life on the fronts, and my relatives are being expelled from Crimea. My father was also a party man, although he was an ordinary collective farmer. But it was not Stalin’s business, others were ill-smokers.

    Maybe I’m not right, but what I have always been interested and amusing about is such stories about "the affairs of bygone days, the legends of old times distant."
    After all, scientists can’t agree on what happened 100-200 years ago. but accurate to the day, they can tell what and how it was 1000-2000 years ago.
    Who can explain this paradox? After all, according to those documents. reached us, all those events can be interpreted in the same way as the predictions of Nostradamus. and other prophets. Namely, a couple of kilometers in one direction and as many in the other.
    Who is writing these historical scripts?
    Recently I read that during the Christianization of Russia, for several centuries (it didn’t go away quickly), nearly 10 million pagan ancestors who did not want to be baptized died. Where did this figure come from? Of course. it’s not without blood. as it is written in the article, but taking into account that population, all the same it’s probably an exaggeration.
    And so it is about the other events of that era. Some regular assistant professor sits and composes a "story". to get a professor.

      According to archaeological excavations, the number of abandoned settlements in the first century after the adoption of Christianity amounted to 29% of the number investigated. Which significantly exceeds the indicator of "neighboring" periods. The method of "demographic loss" never gives the exact number of victims, but can be used for comparative analysis. The Petrine era - the population decline is also about 30%, the “reforms” of the 1990s also demonstrate a similar indicator. It seems to some a mere coincidence that in these historical eras in Russia they tried to introduce "foreign values."
