The first annalistic a mention of Moscow is the indication of the Ipatyevsky chronicle on Friday on the fourth of April, one thousand hundred forty seventh when the growth and Suzdal prince Yury Dolgorukiy accepted in the town under the name Moscow the friends and allies led by Novgorod – the Seversk prince Svyatoslav. – then he added. – As for two hundred fifty years, you obviously confused this date with one more significant date. – it having again made a pause, added. – Date basis of St. Petersburg Pyotr the first. On the twenty seventh of May one thousand seven hundred third years. – it finished the story.
Emmanuel became inconveniently. She on the confusion or illiteracy mixed two significant dates. Date – year the basis of Moscow, and date – year the basis of St. Petersburg. How could it confuse these two dates, considerable for history of Russia? Moscow was really founded much earlier than St. Petersburg. Moscow is nearly eight hundred fifty years old, and St. Petersburg this year was two hundred ninety years old, soon – three hundred.
– To me it is so inconvenient. – told Emmanuel, and kind of in justification she asked forgiveness. – I mixed two dates. Excuse for this disrespect for history of Russia.
Luda exchanged glances with Zhora. Both of them understood that this reservation is connected simply with ignorance of history so, which. What is learned at schools, is quickly forgotten. History by and large is necessary to nobody. We remember only recent dates, approximately in hundred or two hundred years. As for profound history, here full disrespect for history. We remember nothing, we know nothing, and guides in the museums tell us the text of an excursion learned by heart. Will you try to argue at them something besides the excursion program? They will goggle at us the eyes, and will send us there where sends the Russian people of each other, and maybe further away.
Luda, understood Emmanuel. Of course, it is possible to be mistaken in any of dates. It was in the first turn – the foreigner. And it history of Russia was plowed up by the teacher only in the general for the school program knowledge. Agree, in most cases we are incapable even to call the capitals of all states in the world on the planet – the earth. What to tell about significant dates in the history of the planet when we know own history by hearsay.
Luda consoling Emmanuel told:
– All of us can be mistaken, anyway. – then she told, for example. – Here will tell I. – it having made a pause, told. – Ask me for example, all states of the USA, I will not call them. Ten biggest, and their more than forty. – then it, having made a pause, added. – And Russia! How many here is autonomous areas? I do not even know. – it having slightly smiled, added. – What to be upset? All of us sometimes are mistaken. There is nothing of that kind reprehensible.
Emmanuel having looked at Luda, slightly smiled, and seemed to her that from her heart the stone fell. She with relief sighed, and admitted:
– I too for example do not know all districts of Paris. – then she added. – though I there sometimes live.
Seeing that Emmanuel after his story about Moscow became sad as it whatever you may say mixed two dates, in a consolation Zhora told it:
– Do not mourn. – it having made a pause, continued. – I am a historian. I teach students in MGIMO. – then he added. – how many to me time had to hold exams at the blockheads, most of them do not know when to a throne there ascended the Tsar. All for some reason claim that the first Tsar in Russia was Pyotr the first, but it not so. – it having made a pause, added. – All for some reason forget about Ivan Vasilyevich Grozny. But also those who say: "he was the first tsar in Russia", are mistaken. Ivan Vasilyevich Grozny. It was венчан on the kingdom in one thousand five hundred forty seventh. As sovereign всея Russia and grand duke Moscow Ivan fourth Grozny. He was венчан a tsar, and accepted a full title: "Veliky sovereign, to Bozhiyey favor tsar and grand duke всея Russia, Vladimir, Moscow, Novgorod, Pskov, Ryazan, Tver, Yugra, Perm, Vyattsky, Bulgarian and others". – it finished the story about Ivan the Terrible, and passed to the pervo-tsar. – The first Veliky Knyaz Moskovsky Ivan the third proclaimed himself the tsar. The wedding already went to the kingdom from Ivan Vasilyevich Grozny since one thousand five hundred forty seventh. From a dynasty of Ryurik dynasty, Vasily the third and Elena Vasilyevna Glinskaya's son. Ivan the fourth nicknamed subsequently Ivan the Terrible was born in one thousand five hundred thirtieth when to his father Vasily to the third, was already for fifty. As for Ivan the third. – it having made a pause, collecting thoughts to the necessary course, lived. – He was called Vasilyevich too. Also Ivan Veliky. Given rise on the twenty second of January one thousand four hundred fortieth years, and rested on the twenty seventh of October one thousand five hundred fifth years. – Zhora finished the long and interesting story about the first tsar. At the end he added. – So neither Grozny, nor Pyotr the first were the first tsars, and Ivan the third, just as is known as Ivan Veliky. Given rise on the twenty second of January one thousand four hundred fortieth years, and rested on the twenty seventh of October one thousand five hundred fifth years.
Having listened to Zhora, Emmanuel having estimated his knowledge in the history of the Russian country, thought. She thought now of what in fact nobody for certain knows who was the first tsar in Russia. Someone considered that Ivan Vasilyevich Grozny was the first tsar, someone considers that Pyotr great "FIRST" was the first true tsar. History the state of Russian knows many tsars and queens. How many revolutions were those times of troubles when there was a cruel race for power. The monarchy – so call governments of tsars and queens. The last emperor All-Russian was Nikolay the second of "Novels". All know its tragic destiny. Revolution of the seventeenth year. Ipatyevsky house, execution. Then ended thousand-year board of the monarchy. Instead of it dictatorship of the proletariat came. Dictatorship of the proletariat held on till August eighteenth, one thousand nine hundred ninety first, and the twenty first day of the same month and number Boris Nikolaevich Yeltsin became the first president of Russian Federation. The monarchy consigned to the past, Russia accepted democracy. Imperial traditions were forgotten, parties were formed. Parties which were united in one party – United Russia. But nevertheless? If Russia was the monarchy of the millennium, then why it is democratic now? The answer to this poll it is necessary to look for board of the country in democratic system. But nevertheless the answer to this question is simple: nobody wants to let go the power, and to give to her lineal heirs tsars especially. Yes as under the law you will make it? They already subject other states. And it is fraught …
Emmanuel asked:
– And Dolgorukiy?
Zhora did not understand a question Emmanuel:
– What Dolgorukiy?
– How do you think why it a table the tsar?
Zhora shrugged shoulders, assumed:
– In those days Russia was the princely country. – Zhora explained. – There were many cities, and respectively there are a lot of princes. – then he explained. – On a modern harmony – the MEDT. – then it continued. Obviously, then such life suited all, all ruled the city. – then he kind of emphasized. – The power is such piece, will never try once and any more … – then he with sneered. – in janitors you will not go.
– It is right. – Emmanuel agreed, and then emphasized. – The power spoils the person as the person and as the personality.
Luda agreed:
– Quite right. – and then added. – The power is a scourge not only the person separately, but also society in general. – then she added. – To remember, for example, the fable by Krylov, a goat. There put a goat in this system, and all.
Emmanuel took an interest:
– What?
– It
