Russia and England: Non-Shiny Isolation 1553-1689

A. D. Litovchenko. "Ivan the Terrible shows his treasures to the English ambassador Horsey", 1875

When Chancellor and Willoughby were moving on their ships to the future Arkhangelsk, to the place where it would be based after their arrival, they hoped to find in the vastness of Russia the same foothold as the Portuguese and Spaniards found in Latin America, and their more successful Dutch colleagues - in the East Indies.

They planned to find a colonial base to supply what was then already called colonial goods.

What could Russia offer England, and what could England offer Russia? Why can this period be called non-shiny insulation? How did the civil wars in these states proceed?

Answers to these and other questions will be given by the chief specialist of the Russian Military-Historical Society in the lecture "Non-shiny isolation of 1553-1689." from the lecture hall "Dostoevsky".

From the lecture, you can also find out what events, similar to each other, took place in Russia and England, what led to the expulsion of the Catholic King James II, and who became a vivid symbol of the two powers by the end of the 17th century.

This is how a significant number of Topwar readers study history.

Why is this poor video on the site?
Willoughby never visited the future Arkhangelsk; he died during the winter in Varzina Bay.
