Alternative history of Russia. How was a prince or tsar chosen in pre-Christian Russia? The essence of alternative history

7 035

All processes going on in this world develop in time. Each current state has historical prerequisites that condition modernity by cause-and-effect relationships. It is the past that determines everything that is in the present, just as the present determines everything that will happen to us in the future. Therefore, all nations want to know their past.

“The Slavic peoples of Europe are miserable dying nations doomed to annihilation. In its essence, this process is deeply progressive. The primitive Slavs, who have given nothing to world culture, will be absorbed by the advanced civilized Germanic race. Any attempts to revive the Slavs, emanating from Asiatic Russia, are "unscientific" and "anti-historical." Ultimately, the Germans and the Germanized Jews should own not only the Slavic regions of Europe, but also Constantinople ”(F. Engels. “Revolution and Counter-Revolution”, 1852).

According to Moses' "Genesis", Noah, who survived the flood, had three sons, from whom the whole Earth was settled: Shem, Ham and Japheth. Shem got the south, Ham got the east, and Japheth got the north. Sons of Japheth: Homer, Javan, Madai, Magog, Mosoch, Tabal and Firas. Mosoch is the biblical ancestor of the wolverines. (According to Ezekiel, in the land of Magog also lived Gog, the prince of Rosa, Mosokh and Tavala).

The Jews are descended from Shem. The hundred-year-old Shem “gave birth” to Arfaksad two years after the flood and then lived for 500 years. Descendants of Arfaxad: Sala, Eber, Peleg, Raghav, Serug, Nachor, Terah, Abram. From Abram and his barren wife Sarah came the people of Israel. The compilers of the Old Testament with amazing accuracy calculated how many years passed from the Flood to the birth of Terah, the father of Abram - 222 years. At what age Terah “gave birth” to Abram, the Bible, unfortunately, does not indicate, and the duration of his life is extremely contradictory: “Tarah lived seven hundred years”, “And the days of Terah’s life were two hundred and five years, and Terah died in Harran”. The difference of five hundred years in Terah's life expectancy, with such scrupulous accuracy in calculating the years before his birth (202 years), personally surprises me greatly.

But if we ignore this contradiction, then the following degree of kinship between Russians and Jews will become obvious: Abram is the great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-nephew of Mosoch. That is, there is undoubtedly a relationship, but "the thirtieth water on jelly."

The first Russian philosopher, however, to declare the Russian people "exceptional" was P.Ya. Chaadaev: “We belong to the number of those nations that, as it were, are not part of humanity, but exist only in order to give the world some important lesson.” Russia, according to Chaadaev, is generally outside the axial time, outside the main path of mankind, outside the cultural space. Chaadaev saw this main path of humanity in Catholicism and urged Russia to part with Orthodoxy. And Russia "crazy" because, Chaadaev believed, that she did not have a heroic history, "the memory of which is the joy and teaching of adulthood." “First wild barbarism, then gross ignorance, then fierce and humiliating foreign domination, the spirit of which our national power later inherited - such is the sad story of our youth.” Russia is in unconsciousness, because in the past it has nothing but a gloomy, slavish, dead existence, the "basman madman" argued.

The tsarist autocracy declared him insane. Perhaps this announcement was wrong in essence. Firstly, because it was not Chaadaev who had to be declared insane, but those who taught him precisely such “Russian history”, that is, Russian historians of German nationality. And secondly, because his teachers were by no means madmen, but very smart people. It was just that such a Russian history was extremely beneficial to them, in which there was absolutely nothing good, but only savagery and hopelessness. And they laid such a Russian history, despite the resistance of M.V. Lomonosov and V.N. Tatishchev.

The most disgusting thing is that over the past two and a half centuries, Russian historians have done nothing to debunk the "Chaadaev" version. As if we had nothing heroic in the past. And it seems to me that they do not see any heroism, not because it was not there, but because they do not want to see it at close range.

I think not the last role in this was played by Marxism-Engelsism, which "ruled the show" in our country for more than seventy years. But Engels wrote: “The Slavic peoples of Europe are miserable, dying nations, doomed to annihilation. In its essence, this process is deeply progressive. The primitive Slavs, who have given nothing to world culture, will be absorbed by the advanced civilized Germanic race. Any attempts to revive the Slavs, emanating from Asiatic Russia, are "unscientific" and "anti-historical." Ultimately, the Germans and the Germanized Jews should own not only the Slavic regions of Europe, but also Constantinople ”(F. Engels. “Revolution and Counter-Revolution”, 1852).

Our historians fully and completely agreed with Yankel-Engels in terms of "scientific-unscientific", just as they previously agreed with the priests who claimed that before the adoption of Christianity, the ancestors lived in the forest, like any beast and kidnapped the girls near the water. But in fact, we had not even a thousand-year, but a multi-thousand-year history. A completely different story. Some far-sighted foreigners knew, felt this peculiarity, and connected it with our special position in our ancestral homeland-Hyperborea. Here is the opinion of the famous physician and naturalist Philip von Hohenhem, better known as Paracelsus: “There is one people that Herodotus calls Hyperboreans. The current name of this people is Muscovy. You cannot trust their terrible decline, which will last for many centuries. The Hyperboreans know both a strong decline and a huge flourishing ... In this country of the Hyperboreans, which no one has ever thought of as a country in which something great can happen, the Great Cross will shine over the humiliated and outcast. Also, by the way, a German, but without the admixture of Jewish blood.

There was a lot of heroism in our past. Here is just one example:

Macedonian in connection with Russian history

Once, twice passing by Jerusalem and for some reason not noticing the proud Jews, Alexander the Great came to our land. It was on the river Yaksart (Yaik with Syrty). The Greeks called this river Tanais, "flowed" it from the Riphean (Urals), "flowed" into the Caspian Sea and drew the border between Europe and Asia along it. Medieval Germans called this Tanais Tanakvislem, and regarding Riphea, the Caspian Sea and the border of Europe with Asia, they spoke in exactly the same way as the Greeks.

Ambassadors from the local people, the Greeks called him Scythians, urging Alexander to be at peace with them, told Alexander that they remember how their ancestors defeated Media and Syria and reached Egypt, that in the west their country borders on Thrace. Alexander, apparently, did not read Herodotus, who wrote more than a century before Alexander: “Among all the peoples known to us, only the Scythians possess one, but the most important art. It consists in the fact that they do not allow a single enemy who attacked their country to be saved.

Alexander, who lived on Jaxarte, could not conquer the people, despite the fact that he destroyed seven local cities. He only invaded the right bank of the Jaxarth in Europe for 20 km and returned. Medieval Iranians believed that Alexander fought the Russians here. The Central Asians called the population of Jaksart the Usrushans, that is, the Russian people living at the mouth of the Tana River, and the Germans called the inhabitants of the lower reaches of the Tanakvisl Slavs-vans. Since one of the seven cities mentioned was built by the Persian king Cyrus, Caucasians and learned Jews called Jaxartes the Cyrus River and the Russian River.

I am fully aware of the fact that all of the above related to Jaxart and A.Macedonsky, to put it mildly, is indisputable. Historians consider Yaksart to be the Syr Darya, the Ustrushans are placed in Central Asia, and the Scythians are considered Iranians. But that is precisely the function of science, to sort out controversial issues. In short, if I were the President of Russia or the Prime Minister, I would create five research institutes to consider the problem from different angles: from Greek, Iranian, Central Asian, German and Russian. Perhaps we could prove to the “Chadaevites” that we did have a heroic history, and what a story!

Localization of the Ancestral Home of Humanity

It should be noted with all resoluteness that in historical science, as in philosophy, there is a basic question formulated as follows: modern peoples were born on the lands where they now live (autochthonous), or their ancestral home, the place of development was in completely different lands (allochthonism). )? Traditionally, Western historians resolve this issue in favor of autochthonism, despite the fact that there were epochs of the Great Migration of Peoples, despite the fact that the Indo-Aryans and Iranians came to the places of their current residence from somewhere in the Arctic: we. Europeans, of course, are autochthons, and all sorts of barbarian aliens there are allochthons. Thus, the concept of resettlement rests on the question: did all peoples migrate and how was this resettlement - chaotic or directed.

The harmony and meaningfulness of the concept of resettlement is given by the idea of ​​a single ancestral home of mankind. Some linguists insist on this idea, seeing a deep kinship of languages ​​not only of the Indo-European language family, but also of the Uralic, Altaic, Kartvelian, Semitic-Hamitic and Dravidian families.

Ethnographers and culturologists give a lot of evidence of the existence of a single ancestral home. The ancient Indo-Aryans called it Meru, the Greeks Hyperborea, the Slavs Lukomorye and Land-Earth. At the same time, G.M. Bongard-Levin and E.A. Grantovsky discovered the extreme similarity of the Greek myths about Hyperborea with the Vedic narratives about the Arctic ancestral home. The well-known Sanskritologist Bal Gangadhar Tilak analyzed the Indo-Aryan Vedas in detail and came to the conclusion that the Arctic was the homeland of the Aryans. He called his book, which went through several editions at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, “The Arctic Homeland in the Vedas”. At the very beginning of the 21st century, it was translated into Russian and published in Russia.

Based on this hypothesis, the anthropological type of speakers of the Early Indo-European language should have been boreal, that is, most of all correspond to Scandinavian: blond hair, blue eyes, white skin, etc. It was this point of view that the German scientists shared and it was not their fault that the Nazis used this doctrine.

In addition to linguistic and racial features, the Aryans, as people from the Arctic ancestral home, were also characterized by other features, such as a cultural function, economic structure, the role of women in managing society, religion, and their position in the First Civil War. If you snatch out one of the signs from the sum, it is not difficult to fall into a mistake.

Many opinions have also been expressed on the issue of localization: these are the Northern Black Sea region, Asia Minor and the Eurasian Arctic. This last localization surprisingly coincides with the ancient Greek Hyperborean myths and the Vedic hymns of the Rigveda, which was noticed by Grantovsky and Bongard-Levin.

According to my concept, the Indo-European ancestral home formed quite naturally on the Taimyr Peninsula. This process was determined by climatic conditions and developed as follows. Under the conditions of the Ice Age, which reigned on Earth for the last three million years, animals were successively squeezed out of Europe into Siberia. This happened due to the large snow cover in Europe and the lack of snow in Siberia. Warm currents, in particular the Gulf Stream, caused gigantic evaporation near European coasts, snowfalls covered Europe, while Atlantic cyclones arrived in Siberia already dry. A “hunting paradise” was created in Siberia (A.N. Okladnikov): a colossal number of mammoths, woolly rhinos, reindeer and wild horses easily fed on a plain with little snow, and it was easy for a person to get them. Therefore, Neanderthals first migrated from Europe to Siberia, and later (40-10 thousand years ago) Cro-Magnons. Europe has become depopulated, and the Siberian expanses have accommodated everyone.

At the end of the Ice Age in Europe, the three-kilometer-thick Scandinavian glacier melted for a long time, and in Siberia, where there was no powerful ice cover due to the absence of heavy snowfalls, the ice melted much faster and the climatic zones began to quickly shift to the north. Cold-loving mammoths also moved north, and people followed them. (Now Siberia has already become depopulated and Academician Okladnikov called this phenomenon the Mesolithic crisis of culture). Both of them began to accumulate on the shores of the Arctic seas. And since the coast of the Arctic Ocean is built in the form of a wedge (the White Sea and Cape Dezhnev are located at the latitude of the Arctic Circle, and Cape Chelyuskin on the Taimyr Peninsula is 12 degrees to the north), animals and people are concentrated in the north of Taimyr behind the Byrranga mountains.

Opponents believe that Siberia was settled by people much later. Because it's cold, because it's far away... But in fact, already 10 thousand years ago, the territory of Taimyr was densely populated. In 1993, in the course of archaeological field research under the program of the Russian-German project, on the northern shore of Lake Taimyr, an ancient man's tavern was discovered, where a huge number of fragmented bones of various animals, including mammoth, were thrown into the trash. The absolute age of the bones from this feast is 1020+-60 and 9680+-130 years.

Two words about the importance of the initial concentration of the Siberian population in the north of the Taimyr Peninsula. If earlier people lived in the vast Siberian expanses scattered, according to the laws of the pride in the form of primitive human herds, guarded their territory, and simply ate strangers, then having concentrated they were forced to establish good-neighborly human relations with each other. Simply put, a person became a person, and sociogenesis became the result of the initial concentration. . In addition, a huge number of concentrated animals led the then people, firstly, to a settled way of life, and, secondly, to productive forms of management - animal husbandry and agriculture. Than running after animals on the pampas, isn't it easier to throw a rope around the neck of the nearest deer or horse and spit it tomorrow? Hands and brains were freed for handicrafts, art and science, for serving the gods, administration, etc. Thus, the conditions for the formation of civilization were formed. And she formed. It was a civilization explosion. Statehood, urban planning, metallurgy - everything arose quickly and rapidly, and the rest of humanity, including in Egypt, Sumer, the Indus and the Huang, continued to stay in the Stone Age. It was the newcomers from the Taimyr ancestral home that created secondary centers of civilization in these places, which can be confirmed by the composition of the bronzes.

What made the ancestors leave the ancestral home? At first, it was simply overpopulation. After all, the territory of the Ancestral Motherland (the northern slopes of Byrrang, the Kara coast, the islands of Severnaya Zemlya) is very small and quickly filled up. Soon people settled throughout Taimyr. The first long-distance migrations to the south were peaceful and the settlers did not build fortifications in their new places of residence. At the same time, they did not pray to the gods, but to the goddesses and worshipers they had women.

Later, the main reason for the exodus was a sharp cold snap. Here is how it is said about him in the Avesta: “The homeland of the Aryans was once a bright, beautiful country, but an evil demon sent cold and snow on it, which began to hit it every year for ten months. The sun began to rise only once, and the year itself turned into one night and one day. On the advice of the gods, people left there forever. Further, in the Avesta, the details of the exodus of the Avestan, led by Yima, are very revealingly described: “And three hundred winters came to the kingdom of Yima and it became crowded with people and cattle. Then Yima stepped out into the light at noon on the path of the Sun and expanded his country, where people lived for six hundred years, and then again expanded the country towards the Sun and lived in the country for nine hundred years.

It should be noted that resettlements never happen “to the last person”. A smaller part of the people left, as a rule, they were active young people capable of reproducing and conquering new lands. Most of the people (parents!) remained. It is no coincidence that the Iranians who migrated called the Turans who remained in their ancestral homeland their elder brothers. It is no coincidence that the Germans call the new fatherland "Deutschland" - a daughter land.

So, settlers came out of the Ancestral Homeland, creating centers of civilization in Egypt, Sumer, in Harappa, on Huankh. Later, the Hittites, Iranians, Cimmerians, Scythians, Germanic Celts came out from here. These are the so-called branches of the ethnogenetic and linguistic tree of the Ancestral Homeland. And what was the trunk of this formation, this community? What modern nation is the bearer of the language, religion, traditions, rituals, meaning-giving values ​​of the Ancestral Motherland? We do not have enough data to judge this issue with confidence. But we can reason. Look, the Indo-Aryans, the Indians left, the Wends remained, the Iranians left - the Turans remained. True, both of them soon moved to Europe and to the south of Western Siberia. Wends (Wends) in Europe are quite rightly considered the ancestors of the Slavs. The Persians consider Turanians to be their elder brothers and confidently produce Russians from them. Thus, we have the right to believe that the Slavs, and more specifically, the Russians, are the successor of the stem ethnolinguistic formation of the Indo-European Homeland, since 80% of the Slavs are Russian people. And this means that we have the right and even the obligation to look for ancient traces of the Slavs in Taimyr.

Localization of the Slavic Homeland

A century and a half ago, in the Balkans, in the Macedonian province of Bulgaria, the remarkable ethnographer Stefan Ilyich Verkovich recorded a huge number of ancient Macedonian songs. Verković was a Bosnian Serb, Pan-Slavist, and knew the Pomak (Macedonian) language well. In 1860, he published in Belgrade the collection "Narodne Pesme Macedonian Bulgara". In total, he collected 1515 songs, legends and legends with a total volume of 300,000 lines. From 1862 to 1881 an insignificant part of this collection (about one tenth) was published by him.

French linguists, who studied the Indio-Aryan Vedas in detail at the end of the 19th century, showed interest in the materials collected by Verkovich. In 1871, the French Ministry of Public Education instructed Auguste Dozon, consul in Philippopolis, who spoke South Slavic dialects, to verify the authenticity and archaism of Macedonian songs. Dozon was forced to recognize the Macedonian songs as unconditionally authentic. Moreover, he himself recorded and published in France a curious Macedonian song about Alexander and his horse Bucephalus.

The work of Verkovich became interested in the Russian Emperor Alexander II. The second volume of the "Veda of the Slavs" was published with the financial and organizational support of Alexander. The assassination of the reformer tsar by terrorists marked the beginning of the suppression of the results of Verkovich's work and for a long time, if not forever, pushed back the recognition of the Slavic Homeland in the Arctic.

The main statement of the "Veda of the Slavs" is the assertion that the Slavic ancestral home was not located at all where the Slavs lived at the end of the 19th century. The Vedas convincingly speak of the exodus of the ancestors of the Slavs from the Far North from the Northern ancestral home, which the Macedonians called the Land of Land. The edge of the earth was really on the edge of the Eurasian continent near the Black, that is, covered with darkness, sea, into which two White (covered with ice and snow) Danubes flowed. In the Land of the Land, winter and summer lasted for half a year, which testifies not only to the polar conditions of this land, but also to its proximity to the North Pole.

So, the Slavic ancestral home of the Land of the Earth was located in the Eurasian Arctic. But it is large, from the Kola Peninsula to Cape Dezhnev. Try it, look it up!

However, in the "Slavic Vedas" there are other signs that make it possible to narrowly localize the search area. In the "Vedas" the people of the Yuriy people are mentioned. Arab travelers Ibn Fadlan and Al-Garnati, who visited the Volga Bulgaria, called Yugra Yura. If so, the Land-Earth was located next to Yugra, and this is the Subpolar Urals and the Trans-Urals.

In addition, there were Holy Mountains in Land's End. In our Arctic there are mountains on the Kola Peninsula, there is the Subpolar Urals, there are the Byrranga mountains, there is the Putorana plateau, there are the Verkhoyansk and Chersky ridges. Of the listed mountain objects, the Putorana Mountains attract our attention first of all. Why? Because in the "Slavic Vedas" there are mentions of toponyms and "heroes" that are very similar phonetically with Putorana toponyms.

Firstly, the Vedas mention a certain dragon that lives in a mountain lake and does not allow people to pass through the mountain gorge and the lake. The dragon was called Harsh Lamia. Not far from Norilsk, in the mountain gorge of the Putorana Plateau, there is a lake called Lama. It may very well be that Lake Lama near Norilsk is named after Severe Lamia.

Secondly, in the Land-Earth, according to the Vedas, Cheta-Krai is mentioned (Cheta-Earth, also known as the Chitai Land). The Russian translator of the "Slavic Vedas" Alexander Igorevich Asov considers it possible to call this Chitai land Chinese land. In this case, we are not talking about China at all. On the medieval map of Witsen (XVII century), the river China was called the Yenisei, and the Chinese land was considered the interfluve of the Ob and the Yenisei. To the south of Lake Lama in the Putorana Mountains is Lake Heta. On modern maps, the signature near this lake is duplicated in parentheses by the name Kita. The entire north of Siberia between the Ob and the Yenisei and to the east is characterized by an abundance of Hittite hydronyms. The transition of "x" to "k" (Khatanga - Katanga, Khetta - Keta) as a result of Turkization is very typical for Siberia and not only for Siberia.

Thirdly, the Kharapskoe field is part of the Land of Land. In the Kharapsky land, near the two White Danubes, there was the country of Pravda (Shernie-land). In the south of the Putorana Plateau there is the Gorbiachin River. Taking into account the regular letter transition ("g" - "x", "p" - "b"), in the presence of the formant "chin", Gorbiachin clarifies the localization of the Kharapsky field and the country of Pravda.

Fourthly, in the "Vedas" it is said that Divy people lived near the Kharapsky field. They did not plow the land, did not sow, did not engage in any productive labor, lived by robbery and were essentially savages, cave troglodytes. Divas, Divy people are known from Russian chronicles and Slavic folklore. These hairy giants were used in battles as indestructible heroes. Nizami wrote about this in the poem "Iskender-name". In Bulgar Arab travelers saw them on chains. The Tatars gave Edigei two wild hairy people caught in Siberia on Mount Arbus.

In the west of the Putorana Plateau between the Gorbiachin River and Lake Kheta (Kita), we found more than a dozen Gog-Magog hydronyms: the Tonelgagochar River (the Goga Tunnel River), the Irbegagochar River (the Goga Fish River), the Gogochonda River, the bay of the Khantai reservoir Mogokta (many Magogs) and two rivers with the same name, the Malaya Mogokta River, the Mokogon and Umokogon Rivers, the Makus River, the Mogen and Mogady Bays. Such an abundance of Gog-Magog hydronyms on an area of ​​30 by 30 km indicates that the Divy people lived here and it was here that A. Macedonsky built the Copper Gate against the Gogs and Magogs.

Toponymy

During migrations, historians say, every last person never leaves. Usually parties of young energetic people are sent to new lands, capable of active reproduction, but still a smaller part of the people. Most remain. There remains a stem ethnic formation. Above, we have already found out that the successors of the "trunk" are the Russians. And consequently, the toponymy of the Ancestral Motherland should abound in Russian names, or processed Russian toponyms. But this is precisely the picture we are seeing in Taimyr.

It is known that when they came to Siberia, the Cossacks were faced with the fact that the names of rivers, mountains, swamps, etc. sounded in the mouths of local residents somehow very much in Russian. In the Western Altai and in the north of Siberia, in places there were only Russian toponyms in general. So, on the rivers Khet, Kotue and Khatanga, in the drawing of Semyon Remezov “Pomorie Turukhanskoye” (end of the 17th century), only Russian names are shown: Boyarsko, Romanovo, Medtsovo, Medvedevo, Sladkovo, Daursko, Esseiko, Zhdanovo, Krestovo, etc. Of course, one can think that these names were given by Russian Cossack pioneers in the 17th century. But what a catch! Some unconditionally Russian names are present on Western European maps of the 16th century (maps of Mercator, Gondius, Herberstein, Sanson, etc.): Lukomorye, Grustina, Serponov, Terom, etc. These maps were bought in Moscow from officials greedy for bribes, and they were compiled by Russian people, either pioneers or natives. It is important that these names are pre-Yermakov, that Russians lived in Siberia until the beginning of the 17th century. And, consequently, part of the impeccably Russian toponyms in Siberia are pre-Ermak.

There are a lot of Russian toponyms in Taimyr. River Kazak-Yakha, r. Talovaya, r. Rybnaya, oz. Deep, Medvezhka, Chest, r. Wolverine. But it is very difficult to isolate which objects were named in the 17th century and later, and which have been preserved since ancient times. It is logical to assume that the more ancient toponyms were mostly reworked by the Nenets, Evenks, Nganasans, Dolgans, Yukaghirs and other local peoples. There are such toponyms here. For example, the right tributary of the Taz River is called the Lutseyakha (in brackets - the Russian River). It’s good that the translation is given on the map, otherwise you can’t recognize the Russian river in this Lutseyakh. Two more impeccably Russian hydronyms - Nyucha-Khetta in the Nadym basin - Russian Khetta and Nyuchchadkholyak - the right tributary of the Popigay River. Nyucha, so the Yakuts still call Russians. In the passport of my wife, who received it in Yakutia, the nationality column says “nuucha”

This is also Cape Armed in the north of Lake Pyasino, the Dzhangy (Money) River in the Kharayelakh Mountains, Lake. Gudke, Mount Gudchikha. The undoubted reworking of these toponyms indicates that they are very ancient. These names were given to geographical objects immediately after the departure of the Indo-Aryans and Iranians, and maybe even when they were in these places. But this is at least the second millennium BC.

And now let's ask ourselves a question: how could our ancestors, living in Taimyr, fail to notice the richest local ore? Of course they couldn't. They found it and actively developed it. Based on archeological data and the chemical composition of the bronzes, Yuri Krakovetsky, the chief geologist of the Norilskgeology Production Association, and Viktor Vakhrushev, a leading specialist, argue that copper was mined in the Norilsk region as early as the 9th century BC. Joining the Norilsk geologists will not be a big deal, and we will join them. We only add that the Taimyr bronzes were melted with an additive not of tin, but of arsenic, which was mined in the area of ​​the Tarei River. One must think that it was the Taimyr arsenic bronze with a high content of silver and gold, as well as Norilsk copper with an admixture of nickel, platinum and palladium, that were traded in the Mediterranean by the unsurpassed navigators Phoenicians. The Phoenicians and Greeks called this land Tartess, and the greatest poet of antiquity, Homer, directly connected Tartess with Tartarus and Tartaria.

Trading in copper and bronze, the then Taimyr (Tartess) grew fabulously rich, and the hydronym Dzhanga may be alluding to this particular side of the local land. The local riches could not but attract conquerors. So people came here with a sword: Semiramis, Cyrus, Alexander the Great. True, everyone was beaten, Semiramis took away only 20 people, Cyrus saved seven, and the invincible Macedonian froze three-quarters of his troops in the snows of Putorana.

The Russian idea in the light of the "trunk" and "branches"

Let's return to the Russian idea. Since we are the stem ethnic formation of the Siberian Ancestral Homeland, our Russian identity is expressed through the difference between the trunk and branches. Just as it is impossible to make a log, beam, chopping block, plank, carve an oblank, etc. out of branches, even thick ones, in ethnogenetic branches one cannot see carriers of the parent language, ancient traditions, original meaning-giving values, continuously developing culture. All this is the prerogative of stem education.

We, Russians, differ from the non-Slavic peoples of Eurasia precisely in that we are the bearers of the most ancient spirituality based on the service of Pravda (company), the bearers of the most ancient Vedic worldview, we speak the most ancient and beautiful language, we develop the most ancient and humane culture on earth.

Our relationship with the peoples who separated and moved to new lands was akin to the relationship between children and parents. Parents tend to love all children equally. Concern for the departing "children" led to the "universality" of the Russian people noted by Dostoevsky, to the purity of nationalism. The attitude of the departed peoples towards us was often likened to the attitude of children towards their "backward ancestors", and some of the "children", I mean primarily the Germans, were stuck in a transitional age.

It was our stem position and parental attitude towards other peoples that caused the “inexplicable” growth of the Russian Empire, the voluntary joining of small and large ethnic groups to us. Remember how instantly and almost bloodlessly Siberia was taken. Compare this with how the “enlightened and civilized” Anglo-Saxons “mastered” North America, how many millions of Indians they destroyed in the process.

Our stem position also explains to us the ease with which the Russian language was perceived by the annexed peoples. The Russian language is able to convey any shades of thought because these thoughts exist. In other words, language is the expression of the deepest worldview, worldview, worldview. In this regard, all attempts by some brazen politicians to discard the Russian language are doomed to failure - the development of science and art will slow down.

From the stem position, we can explain all the features of the Russian national character: the mystery of the Russian soul, which is so surprising to Westerners, lies in its high spirituality. The soulless West cannot understand and accept our Ivan the Fool, who is a fool only because he is not acquisitive. Possessiveness is one of the most characteristic features of the Russian character. Being rich in the midst of the surrounding poverty was considered shameful in Russia.

Next to non-acquisitiveness stands contemplation. It has always been important for a Russian person to understand something most important about life, and for this it was necessary to carefully contemplate life and think about it, and not just work hard. By the way, Russian people know how to work hard no worse than ants. Harsh climatic conditions have accustomed us to this. When winter rolls in your eyes, you have to work at the limit of your strength.

Two words about Russian fearlessness, which made the Russian soldier the best in the world. This fearlessness was a consequence of the ancient Vedic worldview. According to the ideas of the ancestors, the soul of a person after the death of the body did not go to heaven or hell, but was embodied in a new body to live a new life on Earth. The Magi taught young warriors not to be afraid of death in battle, because they promised the young men an early new incarnation in their family, among their people. To do this, the Magi attracted young women and used ritual sex immediately after the battle, until the souls of the dead warriors “flew” far away. Christian preachers have broken many poisonous arrows over this ritual they misunderstood.

And what is the role of Christianity in the formation of the Russian national character? I think his role was, to put it mildly, exaggerated by his predecessors. But to the inconsistency of the Russian character, which N.A. tirelessly emphasized. Berdyaev and led out of dual faith, Christianity is undoubtedly involved. On the one hand, humility and humility, on the other, a tendency to revelry and anarchy. On the one hand, a steadfast adherence to Orthodoxy, on the other, an abundance of mystical sects. It is easy to see that some traits of the Russian character, such as fearlessness, unbridledness, love of freedom, and, first of all, the desire for inner freedom of the spirit, communitarianism, a penchant for witchcraft bear traces of the influence of paganism, or rather the ancient Vedic religion, while humility, patience, almost slavish obedience, due to the influence of Christianity.

Curiously, thanks to the research of Ksenia Kasyanova, we can quantify how much more pagan in our character than in the character of Americans or Western Europeans. It turns out that most of all we differ from Americans in unbridled feelings, men at 13% of the scale, and women as much as 20%.

But still, our main difference with the West, the "trunk from the branches" lies in the meaning-giving values. In the West there has been a monstrous shift of these values ​​from the realm of the spiritual to the realm of the material. All their values ​​are reduced to the "golden calf", everything is valued at face value. Here is an example. In December 1993, journalist Yuri Geiko described in Komsomolskaya Pravda a typical American "love story" about how an Italian persuaded his seventeen-year-old mistress Emmy Fisher to shoot his annoyed wife. Fischer missed and only injured her opponent. She survived, but Emmy was imprisoned. And then the absolutely unimaginable begins. Newspapers and television literally go crazy for this Fisher: every day for months, articles, interviews, photos. Three major TV companies release three films on the screens, and ... the Americans are watching! The results of a survey of three hundred students at Columbia University showed that in the top ten most popular people in America, Emmy Fisher shared third and fourth place with George W. Bush himself. The spouses who became millionaires reconciled and live, they say, soul to soul. Fisher, who has become a millionaire, is quietly waiting for her release.

How do we differ from the West in terms of meaningful values? The fact that we are still aware that their “tower has been demolished”, but they don’t understand this anymore, they don’t understand at all what is good and what is bad. Vaguely foreseeing the impending catastrophe, the World is looking at our country with hope. Will we justify these hopes? Will the “loose kids” listen to us? However, before we take up the belt, we need to prove to the whole world our “trunk position”. And for this, our historical science needs to take some absolutely extraordinary measures. Especially for fools, I’ll say that they have something to cling to: first of all, you need to shoot all doctors and candidates for a doctor of historical sciences and create a new historical science out of the blue, and then retrain school teachers.

Do you know that the royal rule in Russia was not inherited before Christianization?

In Russia, they lived according to Kopnoy Pravo, where only those who, not in word, but in deed, proved that he was a normal smart man, a family man, and not a drunk or some kind of lazybones, had a voice. A handicraft craftsman, such as a woodworker. Here are 10 such men unanimously (!) chose the tenth, the tenths chose the sotsky, etc. to the Monarch, whose power was not inherited! Those. the best of the best was chosen, and when they saw him, the people said Tse Zarya (TSE (tse - this, this one) ZARYA (Dawn - Carrying Light)), which later was reduced to “King”. Children born from kings were called Tse Sarevich (Tse Zarevich). That is, it is the same as the son of the dawn. From the Etruscans (the Russian ethnic group is one of our clans), the Latins adopted this concept and called their rulers Caesar (Caesar). That's where there was freedom of speech, will and democracy of elections.

And who teaches us democracy today? Those who a thousand years ago imposed monarchy and totalitarianism.

About taxes in Russia

The tax was in the form of a tithe, i.e. everyone paid tithes. Those. 10th part of 144. Now instead of 144, 100 (%) is taken. In order to recalculate the tithe in a modern way, we will make up the proportion: 144/10 \u003d 100 / x. Hence x = 10 100/144 = 7 (%). The tithe went to the maintenance of the Cossacks (“the sighted horse”) and the construction of border towns to protect our lands from invaders. One of the camps of the Cossacks is now called KazakhStan, this happened after the October Revolution, although even before the revolution it was called Kazaksky Stan (KazakStan). The Cossacks were skilled warriors, and they were even hired by the Japanese emperors, the samurai probably did not reach the level of our Ancestors.

History of Russia

Our modern official history, taught in schools, took its final form in the 18th and 19th centuries AD. and was written in accordance with the biblical concept of history commissioned by the Romanovs. Thus, today we are taught from childhood that our history is only a little over 1000 years old. Allegedly, the brothers Cyril and Methodius did good to the dark and wild pagans, giving them writing.

Let's see what happened and who and how falsified our past.

Let's start with Tsar Peter the Great, who instead of “Summer” introduced the “Year” and in Summer 7208 from S.M.Z.Kh (Creation of the World in the Star Temple, where the creation of the world used to mean the signing of a peace treaty) On December 20, Peter I postponed the New Year by issuing a decree to congratulate each other on January 1 “with the new Got”, and to introduce a new foreign Julian calendar, where after December 31, 7208 from S.M. January 1, 1700 began from the birth of Christ. Thus, he easily and simply stole 5508 years of history from us.

Since our Ancestors wrote the numbers in drop caps, our writing has at least existed for more than 7.5 thousand years, which Catherine II wrote in her “Notes on Russian History”: “... the Slavs had a written language older than Nestor ...”.

But the worst thing was during Christianization, when in Russia the monuments of pre-Christian writing and culture of ancient Russia-Russia-Rasseniya were subjected to total destruction.

About the "Great" Prince Vladimir Krasno Solnyshko

The illegitimate son of the Khazar woman Malusha, Prince Vladimir, who illegally occupied the throne of Kyiv (by poisoning the legitimate heirs), introduced an alien religion with fire and sword. In the years from 988 to 1000, ¾ of the population of Kievan Rus was destroyed, after which only 3 million people remained from the original 12 million. The survivors were mostly children and the elderly. Children deprived of parents were brought up in a Christian spirit, with the denial of the entire great Heritage of the Ancestors.

The Higher Clergy of Belovodye (the center of Belovodye was in Asgard, modern Omsk), the sacred land of Russenia-Rus-Russia in 1222 from the RH decided to create a special governing body to protect the Old Faith, which became known as: OR-DEN, which meant “Strength Light” or “Light Force”, where the Kh'ary rune “OR” meant “strength” in the Old Slavic language, the rune “DEN” meant “light”. This Light Power came from beyond the Urals in the form of retribution to the Russian lands, devastated and captured by the Greek-Jewish-Christian.

Tatar-Mongol yoke

This word “Order” was distorted by the Latins as “Orde”, and the writers of history changed it to the word “horde” and the Great Horde or the Mongol-Tatar yoke appeared. Foreigners called Russia Mongolia. The very name “Mongolia” (or Mogolia, as Karamzin and many other authors write, for example) comes from the Greek word “Megalion”, i.e. "Great". In Russian historical sources, the word "Mongolia" ("Mogolia") is not found. But there is "Great Russia". The word "Igo" means order, hence the name "Igor" - the guardian of order. “Tat” is an enemy, i.e. the Tatar is the enemy of the Aryan. And to whom could the Aryan be an enemy? Could he be an enemy of the Rasichs, i.e. to their brothers in the Clans of the Great RACE? No. The only one to whom he was an enemy was those who wanted to enslave these Rods. That is why they write in their history (from tori-ya) that to Russia (and they considered only Kyiv and the surrounding lands to be Russia, and “Kievan Rus” was invented by M. Pogodin, who in his dissertation “On the Origin of Russia” ( 1825), as well as Messrs. G. Bayer, later G. Miller and A. Schlozer substantiated the Norman theory of the emergence of Russian statehood: “come and rule us”), the Great Horde went, or in other words - the Mongols-Tatars - the Great Enemies of the Aryans, not who accepted Christianity. And they went from the East of Rasseniya (Rasseniya are the territories over which the Clans of the Great Race settled), more precisely from Siberia, which in those days from the Urals to the Pacific Ocean and from the Cold Ocean to Central India was called Tarkhtaria, the land of which is patronized by the Gods - the son and daughter of Perun, brother and sister, Tarkh, nicknamed Dazhdbog (Giving God), and his younger sister Tara. Our Ancestors told foreigners: "... we are the children of Tarkh and Tara ...". Later, Tarkhtaria became Tartaria, and the biblical people, who hardly pronounce the letter “r”, called it Tataria.

Let's look at the map of 1754 "I-e Carte de l'Asie"

Across the entire vast territory of the Russian Empire, up to the Pacific Ocean, including Mongolia, the Far East, etc., there is an inscription in large letters: Grande Tartaria, that is, Great Tartaria.

Now it is clear that the words “Tatar” and “Tatar” had nothing to do with modern Tatars until, after the revolution of 1917, historians of biblical nationality decided to falsify the “trace of the Mongol-Tatar yoke”, so that by another deception, substitution of concepts, to confirm his fictional story about the invasion of Russia by a never-existing enemy and avert suspicion from himself as a real enemy.

They carried out this plan to declare someone a former enemy for about a decade and a half, and Lazar Moiseevich Koganovich completed it in 1935, declaring several peoples Tatars: the Volga Bulgarians or Bulgars, baptized people, Uighurs, and also Siberians. Thus, in recent history, another substitution of names and concepts was carried out.

Once, in the northeast of the Black Sea, there was Khazaria, which undertook predatory and predatory attacks on neighboring peoples. Once Khazaria seized the Volga lands with their peace-loving peoples and subjugated them. But part of the Volga Bulgars did not want to submit to the power of the Khazars, and they, together with their khan (i.e. military leader) Astarukh, moved to the Danube, built their cities there and still live there - these territories are called Bulgaria. But note that modern historiography ranks the Danube Bulgarians among the Slavs, and their eastern brothers - the Volga, Kazan Bulgarians - to the Turks - to the Tatars.

What caused this division? Yes, due to the fact that from Tsar-grad Christianity was imposed on the Danube, and Islam was imposed to the Volga. And since in ancient times Islam was accepted mainly by Turkic tribes, therefore, the Volga Bulgarians began to be classified as Turks, although they were actually Slavic tribes that at first did not accept Christianity, but then Islam was forcibly imposed on many of their tribes.

However, among them there were tribes that did not recognize either Islam or Christianity, and many, especially along the Vyatka and higher, and closer to the Caspian Sea, remained on their ancient faith of the Ancestors and lived apart. Therefore, they still call themselves White Bulgarians.

Why don't modern Russian children get this knowledge at school?

Yes, again, because the modern official version of the history of the Russian people was finally formalized in the 18-19th century and was written in strict accordance with the biblical picture of the world: they say that there is the most ancient, God's chosen people - the Jews, and the Russians were Greeks (Semites) before they were Christianized ) by wild pagans, and even writing was given to the Russians by the Greek monks Cyril and Methodius.

In fact, the semi-literate monks Cyril and Methodius reduced the Slavic Initial Letter (I know God, I know the Verb Good ... - one of the types of our writing that existed in Russia many thousands of years before Christ) from 49 letters to 44, and four of the remaining letters were given Greek titles that do not contain such sound images. It was precisely those letters from the old Initial Letter that were destroyed that did not find a match in the Greek language.

Greek is built on the basis of simplified Phoenician, and Phoenician is based on Scythian, and Scythian is our Slavic, because. Scythians are one of the Slavic tribes. Yaroslav the Wise with his "wisdom" removed one more letter. The reformer Peter the Great removed five letters, Nicholas II - three, Lunacharsky - three, introduced "Yo" and removed images from the ABC (Az, Buki, Vedi ...) and introduced phonemics (a, b, c ...) and the ABC became the Alphabet (alpha + vita - in the Greek manner) and our mighty language became without figurative (ugly).

The war against Russia has been going on for a very long time and very, very successfully. Of course, not on the battlefields, where we have always beaten everyone and very painfully, but where the West has always won and continues to win - in information wars. The main goal is to prove to the inhabitants of our country that they are stupid, brainless cattle, not even second-rate, but somewhere around 6-7 ranks, without past and future. And he has already practically proved that even the authors of many patriotic articles agree with this approach entirely.

Examples? You are welcome!

The first capital, the city of Slovensk, was founded in 2409 BC... Example 1. We recently celebrated the 1000th anniversary of Russia. When did she actually show up? The first capital (only the capital of a large country!), the city of Slovensk, was founded in 2409 BC (3099 from the creation of the world); the source of information is the chronicle of the Kholopye Monastery on the Mologa River, the chronograph of Academician M. N. Tikhomirov, S. Herberstein’s “Notes on Muscovy”, “The Tale of Slovenia and Rus”, which is ubiquitous and recorded by many ethnographers.

Since it is believed that Novgorod was built on the site of Slovensk, I pestered the archaeologists leading the excavation, as far as it is plausible. They literally answered me like this:

“And hell knows. We have already dug up the Paleolithic sites there.”

Rurik is the grandson of the Novgorod prince Gostomysl, the son of his daughter Umila and one of the neighboring princes of a lower rank ... Example 2. It is generally accepted that somewhere in the 8th century, wild brainless and good-for-nothing Slavs, wandering in herds through the forests, called to themselves Viking Rurik and said: "Own control of us, O great European superman, otherwise we, idiots, cannot do anything ourselves." (A free presentation of a history textbook). Actually,

Rurik is the grandson of the Novgorod prince Gostomysl, the son of his daughter Umila and one of the neighboring princes of a lower rank. He was called along with his brothers, since all 4 sons of Gostomysl died or perished in wars. He was accepted by agreement with the elders, and worked hard to earn respect in Russia. Source: Joachim Chronicle, Russian history according to Tatishchev, Brockhaus and Efron, etc.

Example 3. The opinion is spread everywhere that almost the only civilization of the past was the Roman Empire, a model of legality and morality. In general, that the gladiator fights of Rome, that the modern indulgence of marauders in Iraq is one field of berries. The morality of the Western world has not changed much, and still causes disgust among "savages" like Russians, Chinese and Dagestanis.

Bare-assed and bare-footed, poorly armed Roman infantry... The official story: the great, beautiful and mighty Roman civilization fell under the blows of stinking shaggy savages. In fact, the geeks, fed up with everything (as the Americans are now), were subjected to sanitation by more decent neighbors. Naked and bare-footed, poorly armed Roman infantry (open a textbook on the history of the ancient world, and admire the legionnaires) was trampled down by cataphracts clad in steel from tops to horse hooves.

The main source of information is "Cataphracts and their role in the history of military art" by A.M. Khazanov. (I don’t remember the rest, but those who wish can rummage through the auto search themselves. There is a lot of material - they just don’t let him into schools. “Harmful”).

Cataphracts are the Slavs who defended themselves against the Europeans ... The most interesting thing is where did the Huns come from to “clean up” Rome? Ob, Ugra, the Volga region, the Urals, the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov ... Graves with partial armament of cataphracts were also found in Dagestan. Have you, comrade patriots, looked at the map for a long time? So where did the Huns go to Rome? Why was "wild Russia" in Europe called Gardarik - the Land of Cities? Now it doesn't matter, because we are celebrating 1000 years of Russia with joyful faces, we consider Rurik to be the owner who came from Norway, who founded Russia, and even, it seems, we are proud of such a story.

4 millennia were sent down the drain, impudently fucked up, as uninteresting - and not a single dog even yelped.

1:0 in favor of the West.

The second goal against the Russian fools. In the 8th century, one of the Russian princes nailed a shield to the gates of Constantinople, and it is difficult to argue that Russia did not exist even then. Therefore, in the coming centuries, long-term slavery was planned for Russia. The invasion of the Mongol-Tatars and the 3rd century of humility and humility. What marked this era in reality? We will not deny the Mongol yoke due to our laziness, but ... As soon as Russia became aware of the existence of the Golden Horde, young guys immediately went there to ... rob the Mongols who had come from rich China to Russia. The Russian raids of the 14th century are best described (if anyone has forgotten, the period from the 14th to the 15th century is considered the yoke).

In 1360, the Novgorod lads fought along the Volga to the Kama mouth, and then stormed the large Tatar city of Zhukotin (Dzhuketau near the modern city of Chistopol). Having seized untold riches, the ushkuyniki returned back and began to “drink zipuns on drink” in the city of Kostroma. From 1360 to 1375, the Russians made eight large campaigns on the middle Volga, not counting small raids. In 1374, the Novgorodians took the city of Bolgar (not far from Kazan) for the third time, then went down and took Saray itself, the capital of the Great Khan.

In 1375, the Smolensk guys in seventy boats under the command of the governor Prokop and Smolyanin moved down the Volga. Already by tradition, they paid a "visit" to the cities of Bolgar and Saray. Moreover, the rulers of Bolgar, taught by bitter experience, paid off with a large tribute, but the Khan's capital Saray was taken by storm and plundered. In 1392, the Ushkuiniki again took Zhukotin and Kazan. In 1409, the governor Anfal led 250 ears to the Volga and Kama. And in general, to beat the Tatars in Russia was considered not a feat, but a trade.

A monograph by the Tatar historian Alfred Khasanovich Khalikov ... During the Tatar “yoke”, the Russians went to the Tatars every 2-3 years, Saray was fired dozens of times, Tatars were sold to Europe by the hundreds. What did the Tatars do in response? Wrote complaints! To Moscow, to Novgorod. The complaints persisted. There was nothing more the “enslavers” could do. The source of information on the mentioned campaigns - you will laugh, but this is a monograph by the Tatar historian Alfred Khasanovich Khalikov.

They still cannot forgive us these visits! And at school they still tell how Russian gray-pawed men cried and gave their girls into slavery - because they are submissive cattle. And you, their descendants, also penetrate this thought. Does anyone doubt the reality of the yoke?

Ivan the Terrible In the 16th century, Ivan the Terrible came to power. During his reign in Russia:

Jury trial introduced;

Free primary education (church schools);

Medical quarantine at the borders;

Local elected self-government, instead of governors;

For the first time, a regular army appeared (and the first military uniform in the world - among the archers);

Stopped Tatar raids;

Equality was established between all segments of the population (do you know that serfdom did not exist at that time in Russia at all? The peasant was obliged to sit on the land until he paid for its rent, and nothing more. And his children were considered free from birth, in any case !).

Slave labor is prohibited (source - Ivan the Terrible's lawsuit);

The state monopoly on the fur trade introduced by Grozny was abolished only 10 (ten!) years ago.

The territory of the country is increased by 30 times!

The emigration of the population from Europe exceeded 30,000 families (those who settled along the Zasechnaya line were paid a raise of 5 rubles per family. Account books have been preserved).

The growth in the welfare of the population (and taxes paid) during the reign amounted to several thousand (!) Percent.

During the entire reign, there was not a single executed without trial or investigation, the total number of "repressed" was from three to four thousand. (And the times were dashing - remember St. Bartholomew's night).

Now remember what you were told about Grozny at school? That he is a bloody tyrant and lost the Livonian War, and Russia was shaking in horror?

3:0 in favor of the West.

By the way, about the stupid Americans as a result of propaganda. Already in the 16th century in Europe there were many brochures for every brainless layman. It was written there that the Russian tsar was a drunkard and a debauchee, and all his subjects were the same wild freaks. And in the instructions to the ambassadors, it was indicated that the tsar was a teetotaller, unpleasantly smart, categorically cannot stand drunk people, and even forbade drinking alcohol in Moscow, as a result of which you can “get drunk” only outside the city, in the so-called “liquor” (the place where they pour it) . Source - study "Ivan the Terrible" by Kazimir Valishevsky, France. Now guess three times - which of the two versions is presented in the textbooks?

In general, our textbooks proceed from the principle that everything that is said about vile Russia is true. Everything that is said good or intelligible is a lie.

One example. In 1569 Grozny arrived in Novgorod, which had approximately 40,000 inhabitants. An epidemic was raging there, and it also smelled of a riot. According to the results of the visit of the sovereign, the commemorative lists completely preserved in the synodics mark 2800 dead. But Jerome Horsey in "Notes on Russia" indicates that the guardsmen slaughtered 700,000 (seven hundred thousand (?)) people in Novgorod.

Guess which of the two numbers is considered historically accurate?

4:0 in favor of the West.

Wild Russians weep and wail. And they are constantly stolen and driven into slavery by dashing Crimean infidels. And the Russians are crying and paying tribute. Almost all historians point a finger at the stupidity, weakness and cowardice of the Russian rulers, who could not cope even with the shabby Crimea. And for some reason they "forget" that there was no Crimean Khanate - there was one of the provinces of the Ottoman Empire, in which Turkish garrisons stood and the Ottoman governor sat. Does anyone have the desire to reproach Castro for not being able to capture a tiny American base on his island?

The Ottoman Empire, by this time, was actively expanding in all directions, conquering all the Mediterranean lands, stretching from Iran (Persia) and advancing on Europe, approaching Venice and laying siege to Vienna. In 1572, the Sultan decided to conquer, at the same time, the wild Muscovy, as the European brochures assured. 120,000 troops moved north from the Crimea, supported by 20,000 Janissaries and 200 cannons.

This is the place near the village of Molodi ... Prince Mikhailo Vorotynsky ... Near the village of Molodi, the Ottomans encountered a 50,000-strong detachment of the voivode Mikhail Vorotynsky. And the Turkish army was ... No, it was not stopped - it was completely cut out !!!

From that moment on, the offensive of the Ottomans on the neighbors stopped - and try to engage in conquests if your army was almost halved! God forbid to fight off the neighbors yourself. What do you know about this battle? Nothing? Here's something! Wait, in 20 years, about the participation of Russians in the Second World War, they will also begin to “forget” in textbooks. After all, all "progressive mankind" has long and firmly known that Hitler was defeated by the Americans. And it's time to correct Russian textbooks that are "wrong" in this area.

Information about the Battle of Molodi can generally be classified as closed. God forbid, the Russian cattle learns that it can also be proud of the deeds of its ancestors in the Middle Ages! He will develop an incorrect self-consciousness, love for the Motherland, for its deeds. And this is wrong. So, it is difficult to find data about the Battle of Moldody, but it is possible - in specialized reference books. For example, in the "Encyclopedia of weapons" of Kosmet three lines are written.

So, 5:0 in favor of the West.

Stupid Russian bums. Remembering the Mongol invasion, I always wonder - where did they manage to get so many sabers? After all, sabers were forged only starting from the 14th century, and only in Moscow and Dagestan, in Kubachi. Such a strange fork - forever we are unexpectedly the same with the Dagestanis. Although, in all textbooks, there are always a couple of hostile states between us. Nowhere else in the world have they learned how to forge sabers - this is a much more complex art than it might seem.

But there was progress, 17th century. The saber gave way to other weapons. Before the birth of Peter 1, there was very little left. What was Russia like? If you believe the textbooks, approximately the same as in Tolstoy's novel "Peter the Great" - patriarchal, ignorant, wild, drunk, inert ...

Do you know that it was Russia that armed the whole of Europe with advanced weapons? Every year, Russian monasteries and foundries sold hundreds of cannons, thousands of muskets, edged weapons there. Source - here is a quote from the Encyclopedia of Arms:

Chugan cannon. These were sold to wild Europeans ...

“It is interesting that in the 16th-17th centuries artillery guns were produced not only by the sovereign Pushkar courts, but also by monasteries. For example, a fairly large-scale production of cannons was carried out in the Solovetsky Monastery and in the Kirillovo-Belozersky Monastery. They owned cannons and used them very successfully by the Don and Zaporozhye Cossacks. The first mention of the use of cannons by Zaporozhye Cossacks dates back to 1516. In the 19th-20th centuries, in Russia and abroad, there was an opinion that pre-Petrine artillery was technically backward. But here are the facts: in 1646, the Tula-Kamensky factories delivered more than 600 guns to Holland, and in 1647, 360 guns of 4.6 and 8 pounds caliber. In 1675, the Tula-Kamensky factories shipped abroad 116 cast-iron cannons, 43892 cannonballs, 2934 grenades, 2356 musket barrels, 2700 swords and 9687 pounds of iron "

Here you have the wild backward Russia, about which they say at school.

6:0 in favor of the West.

By the way, from time to time, I meet Russophobes who claim that all of the above cannot be, since even the highly progressive and developed England and France learned to cast iron only in the 19th century. In such cases, I bet on a bottle of cognac and take a person to the Artillery Museum in St. Petersburg. One of the cast-iron cannons, cast in 1600, lies there cheekily on a stand for all to see. I have already accumulated 3 bottles of cognac in the bar, but they still don’t believe me. People do not believe that Russia throughout its history and in all respects overtook Europe by about two centuries. But…

Loser's conclusions. Starting from school years, we are told that our whole history is like a huge cesspool, in which there is not a single bright spot, not a single decent ruler. There were either no military victories at all, or they led to something bad (the victory over the Ottomans is hidden like nuclear launch codes, and the victory over Napoleon is duplicated by the slogan Alexander - the gendarme of Europe). Everything that was invented by the ancestors is either brought to us from Europe, or just a baseless myth. The Russian people did not make any discoveries, they did not free anyone, and if someone turned to us for help, it was enslavement.

And now everyone around has the historical right of Russians to kill, rob, rape. If you kill a Russian person, this is not banditry, but a desire for freedom. And the destiny of all Russians is to repent, repent and repent.

The information war against Russia has been going on for many centuries ... A little more than a hundred years of the information war - and a feeling of our own inferiority has already been sown in all of us. We are more, like our ancestors, not sure of our own rightness. Look what is happening with our politicians: they are constantly making excuses. No one is demanding that Lord Judd be brought to justice for promoting terrorism and collaborating with bandits - he is being persuaded that he is not quite right.

We threaten Georgia - and do not carry out threats. Denmark spits in our face - and even sanctions are not imposed against it. The Baltic countries have established an apartheid regime - politicians shamefacedly turn away. People demand to allow the sale of weapons for self-defense - they are openly called useless cretins who, out of stupidity, will immediately kill each other.

Why should Russia justify itself? After all, she is always right! No one else dares to say it.

You think - just the current politicians are so indecisive, but instead of them, just about, others will come. But that will NEVER happen. Because the feeling of inferiority is laid not on a post of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. It begins to be systematically brought up from childhood, when the child is told: our grandfathers were very stupid, stupid people, incapable of the most elementary decisions. But a kind and smart uncle Rurik came to them from Europe, began to master them and teach them. He created for them the state of Russia, in which we live.

Historical facts, accepted as an indisputable truth, sometimes cause many doubts among those who are used to analyzing the course of events and reading “between the lines”. Frank contradictions, silence and distortion of obvious facts cause healthy indignation, since interest in one's roots is inherent in man by nature. That is why a new direction of teaching has arisen - an alternative history. Reading various articles about the origin of mankind, the development and formation of states, one can understand how far the school history course is from reality. Facts, not supported by elementary logic and argumentation, are planted in young heads as the only true path of historical development. At the same time, many of them do not stand up to elementary analysis even by those who are not luminaries in this area, but are only interested in world history and know how to think sensibly.

The essence of alternative history

This direction is considered to be unscientific, since it is not regulated at the official level. However, reading articles, books and treatises on alternative history, it becomes clear that they are more logical, consistent and substantiated than the "official version" of events. So why are historians silent, why do they distort the facts? There can be many reasons for this:

  • It is much more pleasant to present your origin in a more advantageous light. Moreover, it is enough just to provide the bulk of the population with an attractive theory, even if it does not fit in with the context of real history - they will definitely accept it “as their own”, amusing their self-esteem on the subconscious.
  • The role of the victim is advantageous only in the event of a successful ending, because, as you know, all the "laurels" go to the winner. If it didn’t work out to defend your people, then, a priori, the enemies must be bad and insidious.
  • To act on the attacking side, destroying other nationalities is “not comme il faut”, therefore it is at least unreasonable to flaunt such facts in the annals of historical events.

The list of reasons for lies and cover-ups in history is endless, but they all originate in one single statement: if it is written that way, then it is beneficial. Moreover, in this context, the benefit implies not so much economic as moral, political and psychological comfort. And it doesn’t matter at all that any lie looks stupid, it’s enough just to analyze the indisputable facts of that time.

Over time, the alternative history becomes more complete and meaningful. Thanks to the work of people who are not indifferent to their origin in the annals of our country, and the world as a whole, there are less and less “dark spots”, and the chronology of events takes on a logical and consistent form. That is why reading about an alternative history is not only informative, but also pleasant - clearly verified facts make the narrative logical and reasonable, and accepting one's roots allows you to better understand the deep essence of historical events.

An alternative history of mankind: a look through the prism of logic

Darwin's theory of human origins is ideally suited to be taught to children as a cautionary tale about the benefits of work, with one acceptable context - it's just a fairy tale. Each artifact obtained during the excavations, each ancient find causes healthy skepticism regarding the official version of history, since they clearly contradict the voiced version. And if you consider that most of them are simply kept under the heading "Secret", the origin of mankind looks vague and doubtful at all. A consensus on this issue has not yet been formed, but one thing is known for certain: a person appeared much earlier than history ascribes to him.

  • traces of a man of the era of dinosaurs discovered in Nevada, which are more than 50 million years old;
  • a fossilized finger, which, according to research, has been stored for about 130 million years;
  • hand-drawn metal vase, about half a billion years old.

The proof of the correctness of alternative versions of history is not limited to these facts - the number of traces of human presence in the ancient world is steadily growing, however, far from everyone is known to a wide range of people. Moreover, many theories regarding the course of historical events have already been voiced in the context of mythology, but scientists have dismissed them, since there was no evidence for this. Now, when the revealed facts convince of the opposite, they simply do not want to “lose face”, rewriting the history of mankind.

If in the course of evolution and technological progress people became more and more developed, then how were the famous Egyptian pyramids built? After all, even now, having a huge arsenal of equipment and building materials, such a structure causes delight and awe, because it seems almost unreal. But such pyramids were built not only on the African continent, but also in today's America, China, Russia and Bosnia. How could such inept and technically illiterate ancestors, according to the version of academic history, be able to build this?

Turning to the ancient Indian treatises, one can find references to flying chariots - the prototypes of modern aircraft. They are also mentioned in the writings of Maharshi Bharadwaja, a sage of the 4th century BC. His book was found back in the 19th century, but never had a resonance thanks to the efforts of those who adhere to the official version of history. These works were recognized as nothing more than entertaining writings based on a fertile imagination, while the descriptions of the machines themselves, suspiciously reminiscent of modern ones, were considered mere conjectures.

Not only the ancient Indian works confirm the dubiousness of the academic theory of the development of mankind - the Slavic chronicles store no less number of confirmations. Based on the described technical structures, our distant ancestors could not only move through the air, but also make intergalactic flights. So why is the alternate history suggestion of Earth populating the planet from space considered practically insane? It is a completely logical and reasonable version that has the right to exist.

The question of the origin of man is considered one of the most controversial, since rare facts make one only speculate and speculate. The academic version assumes that mankind came out of Africa, but this version hardly withstands the elementary “strength test” of modern facts and discoveries. The novelties of alternative history seem more convincing, since even the latest articles in 2017 consider several options at once as a possible course of events. One of the confirmations of the plurality of theories are the works of Anatoly Klyosov.

Alternative history in the context of DNA genealogy

The founder of DNA genealogy, which reveals the essence of the migration processes of the ancient population through the prism of chromosomal similarities, is Anatoly Klyosov. His works cause a lot of indignant criticism in his address, since the theories set forth by the scientist openly contradict the official version of events about the African origin of the entire human race. The critical questions raised by Klyosov in his books and publications reveal the essence of the erroneous assertions of popgeneticists that "anatomically modern man" (precisely in the context of the current genetic basis) went from the African people by constant migration to neighboring continents. The main evidence of the academic version is the genetic diversity of Africans, but this fact cannot be considered confirming, but only makes it possible to put forward a theory that is not supported by any justification.

The main features of the idea promoted by Klyosov are as follows:

  • the genetic genealogy founded by him (DNA genealogy) is a symbiosis of history, biochemistry, anthropology and linguistics, and not a subsection of academic genetics, as is commonly believed in scientific circles, accusing the author of quackery;
  • This approach allows us to formulate a new calendar of ancient migrations of mankind, which is more accurate and scientifically justified than the official one.

According to the data obtained in the course of a long and rigorous analysis of historical, anthropological and chromosomal studies, the development "from the African source" is not complete, since the alternative history of the Slavs at that time was taking a parallel course. The Proto-Slavic origin of the Aryan race is confirmed by the fact that the chromosomal halogroup R1a1 came from the Dnieper territory and the Ural River and went to India, and not vice versa, as the official version of events claims.

His ideas are actively promoted not only in Russia, but throughout the world: the Russian Academy of DNA Genealogy founded by him is an international online organization. In addition to publishing online, Klyosov has published many books and periodicals. His collection of articles on alternative history, based on a DNA genealogical database, is constantly updated with new works, which each time lift the veil of secrecy over the most ancient civilization.

Tatar-Mongol yoke: an alternative history

There are still many "dark spots" in the academic history of the Tatar-Mongolian yoke, which allow not only historians of our time, but also ordinary people who are interested in their origins, to make assumptions and guesses. Many details indicate that the Tatar-Mongol people did not exist at all. That is why the alternative history looks very reliable: the details are so logical and justified that, willy-nilly, doubts arise, but are the textbooks lying?

Indeed, there are no mentions of the Tatar-Mongols in any Russian chronicle, and the term itself causes healthy skepticism: well, where could such a nationality come from? From Mongolia? But, according to historical documents, the ancient Mongols were called "Oirats". There is no such nationality and there was not, until in 1823 it was introduced artificially!

The alternative history of Russia in those days is clearly reflected in the work of Alexei Kungurov. His book “There was no Kievan Rus, or what historians are hiding” caused thousands of controversies in scientific circles, but the arguments seem quite convincing even to those who are familiar with history, not to mention ordinary readers: “If we demand to present at least some material evidence of the long existence of the Mongol empire, then archaeologists, scratching their heads and grunting, will show a pair of half-rotted sabers and several women's earrings. But do not try to find out why the remains of sabers are "Mongol-Tatar" and not Cossack, for example. No one will explain this to you for sure. At best, you will hear a story that the saber was dug up at the place where, according to the version of the ancient and very reliable chronicle, there was a battle with the Mongols. Where is that chronicle? God knows it, it has not reached our days ”(c).

Although the theme is thoroughly revealed in the works of Gumilyov, Kalyuzhny and Fomenko, who are undoubtedly experts in their field, the alternative history reveals the Tatar-Mongol yoke in such a reasoned, detailed and thorough manner precisely at the suggestion of Kungurov. Undoubtedly, the author is thoroughly familiar with the timing of Kievan Rus and studied many sources before putting forward his theory regarding that time. That is why there is no doubt that his version of what is happening is the only possible chronology of events. Indeed, it is difficult to argue with a logically competent justification:

  1. Not a single "material evidence" of the invasion of the Mongol-Tatars remained. Even from the dinosaurs, at least some traces remained, and from the whole yoke - zero. No written sources (of course, you should not take into account later fabricated papers), no architectural structures, no coin trace.
  2. Analyzing modern linguistics, it will not be possible to find a single borrowing from the Mongol-Tatar heritage: the Mongolian and Russian languages ​​do not intersect, and there are no cultural borrowings from the Transbaikal nomads.
  3. Even if Kievan Rus wanted to eradicate the difficult times of the dominance of the Mongol-Tatars from memory, at least some trace would remain in the folklore of the nomads. But even there - nothing!
  4. What was the purpose of the capture? They reached the territory of Russia, captured ... and that's it? Was the conquest of the world limited to this? And the economic consequences for present-day Mongolia were never discovered: no Russian gold, no icons, no coins, in a word, nothing again.
  5. For more than 3 centuries of imaginary dominance, not a single mixing of blood has occurred. One way or another, domestic population genetics did not find a single thread leading to the Mongol-Tatar roots.

These facts testify in favor of an alternative history of ancient Russia, in which there is not the slightest mention of the Tatar-Mongols as such. But why, over the course of several centuries, people were instilled with the opinion of the cruel attack of Batu? After all, something happened during these years that historians are trying to cover up with external interference. In addition, before the pseudo-liberation from the Mongol-Tatars, the territory of Russia was really in a huge decline, and the number of the local population decreased tenfold. So what happened during these years?

The alternative history of Russia offers many versions, but the most convincing seems to be forced baptism. According to ancient maps, the main part of the Northern Hemisphere was the Great State - Tartary. Its inhabitants were educated and literate, they lived in harmony with themselves and with natural forces. Adhering to the Vedic worldview, they understood what was good, saw the consequences of planting a religious principle and tried to maintain their inner harmony. However, Kievan Rus - one of the provinces of the Great Tartaria - decided to take a different path.

Prince Vladimir, who became the ideological inspirer and executor of forced Christianization, understood that people’s deep convictions cannot be broken just like that, so he ordered to kill most of the adult population, and put a religious principle into innocent children’s heads. And when the troops of Tartaria came to their senses and decided to stop the cruel bloodshed in Kievan Rus, it was already too late - the province at that time was a miserable sight. Of course, there was still a battle on the Kalka River, but the opponents were not a fictional Mongol corps, but their own army.

Looking at the alternative story about the war, it becomes clear why it was so "sluggish": the Russian troops, who forcibly converted to Christianity, perceived the Vedic army of Tartaria not as an attack, but rather as a liberation from the imposed religion. Many of them even went over to the side of the "enemy", while the rest did not see the point in the battle. But will such facts be printed in textbooks? After all, this discredits the modern idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe "great and wisest" power. There are many dark spots in the history of Russia, as, indeed, in any state, but hiding them will not help to rewrite it.

An alternative history of Russia from ancient times: where did Tartaria go?

By the end of the 18th century, Great Tartaria was wiped out not only from the face of the Earth, but also from the political map of the world. This was done so carefully that there is no mention of it in any history textbook, in any chronicle and official paper. Why is it necessary to hide such an obvious fact of our history, which was revealed relatively recently, only thanks to the works of Academician Fomenko, who was engaged in New Chronology? But Guthrie William described Tartaria, its provinces and history in detail back in the 18th century, but this work remained unnoticed by official science. Everything is simple to the point of banal: the alternative history of Russia does not look as sacrificial and imposing as the academic one.

The conquest of Great Tartaria began in the 15th century, when Muscovy was the first to attack the surrounding territories. The army of Tartaria, which did not expect an attack, which at that time concentrated all its forces on protecting the external borders, did not have time to orient itself, and therefore yielded to the enemy. This served as an example for others, and gradually everyone sought to “bite off” at least a small piece of economically and politically profitable lands from Tartaria. So for 2 and a half centuries, only a weak shadow remained from the Great State, the final blow to which was the World War, referred to in the course of history as the “Pugachev Rebellion” in 1773-1775. After that, the name of the once great power began to gradually change to the Russian Empire, however, some regions - Independent and Chinese Tartaria - still managed to preserve their history for some more time.

Thus, the long war, which ultimately exterminated all the native Tartarians, began precisely with the filing of the Muscovites, who subsequently took an active part in it. This means that the territory of modern Russia was brutally recaptured at the cost of tens of thousands of lives, and our ancestors are precisely the attacking side. Will such textbooks be written? After all, if history is built on cruelty and bloodshed, then it is not as “wonderful” as they are trying to portray.

As a result, historians who adhere to the academic version simply took certain facts out of context, swapped the characters and presented everything “under the sauce” of the sad saga of devastation after the Tatar-Mongol yoke. In this perspective, there could be no talk of any attack on Tartaria. And what an alternative history of Tartaria, there was nothing. The maps are corrected, the facts are distorted, which means that you can forget about the rivers of blood. Such an approach made it possible to inspire many inhabitants, who were not accustomed to think and analyze, with exceptional integrity, sacrifice and, most importantly, the antiquity of their people. But in fact, all this was created by the hands of the Tartarians, who were subsequently destroyed.

An alternative history of St. Petersburg, or What is hidden in the chronicle of the Northern capital?

Petersburg is almost the main platform for the country's historical events, and the architecture of the city makes you breathless with delight and awe. But is everything as transparent and consistent as the official history shows?

The alternative history of St. Petersburg is based on the theory that the city at the mouth of the Neva was built in the 9th century BC, only it was called Nevograd. When Radabor built a port here, the settlement was renamed Vodin. A heavy fate fell on the locals: the city was often flooded, and enemies tried to seize the port area, causing devastation and bloodshed. In 862, after the death of Prince Vadim, the Novgorod prince who came to power destroyed the city almost to the ground, destroying the entire indigenous population. Having recovered from this blow, after almost three centuries, the Vodinians met another attack - the Swedish one. True, after 30 years the Russian army was able to regain their native lands, but this time was enough to weaken Vodin.

After the suppression of the uprising in 1258, the city was renamed again - in order to pacify the recalcitrant Vodinians, Alexander Nevsky decided to eradicate his native name and began to call the city on the Neva Gorodnya. And after another 2 years, the Swedes again attacked the territory and named it in their own way - Landskron. Swedish dominance did not last long - in 1301 the city returned to Russia again, began to gradually flourish and recover.

Such an idyll lasted a little more than two and a half centuries - in 1570 Moskhi captured Gorodnya, calling it Kongrad. However, the Swedes did not give up their desire to get the port territory of the Neva, so in 1611 they were able to recapture the city, which has now become Kanets. After that, it was renamed one more time, calling Nyenschanz, until Peter I won it back from the Swedes during the Great Northern War. And only after that the official version of history begins the annals of St. Petersburg.

According to academic history, it was Peter the Great who built the city from scratch, created St. Petersburg the way it is today. However, the alternative history of Peter I does not look so impressive, because, in fact, he received a ready-made city with a long history into submission. It is enough to look at the numerous monuments allegedly erected in honor of the ruler in order to doubt their origins, because on each of them Peter I is depicted in completely different ways, and not always appropriate.

For example, the statue in the Mikhailovsky Castle depicts Peter the Great, dressed for some reason in a Roman tunic and sandals. A rather strange outfit for the realities of St. Petersburg at that time ... And the marshal's baton in an awkwardly twisted hand suspiciously resembles a spear, which for some reason (obviously why) was cut off, giving it the appropriate shape. And looking at the "Bronze Horseman", it becomes clear that the face is made in a completely different way. Age changes? Hardly. Just a falsification of the historical heritage of St. Petersburg, which was adjusted to suit academic history.

Alternative history review - answers to burning questions

Thoughtfully reading a school history textbook, it is impossible not to “stumble” over contradictions and imposed clichés. In addition, the revealed facts make us either constantly adjust the approved chronology for them, or hide historical events from people. But A. Sklyarov was right, stating: "If the facts contradict the theory, it is necessary to throw out the theory, not the facts." So why do historians act differently?

What to believe, which version to stick to, everyone decides for himself. Of course, it is much easier and more pleasant to close one's eyes to the obvious, proudly calling oneself a luminary in the field of historical sciences. Moreover, the novelties of alternative history are met with great distrust, calling them quackery and creative fiction. But each of these alleged fictions has much more logic and facts under it than academic science. But to admit this means to abandon an extremely convenient and advantageous position that has been promoted for decades. But if the official version continues to pass off fiction as reality, maybe it's time to stop being deceived ourselves? All you need to do this is to think for yourself.

There is a lot of information that makes you look at the version familiar from school differently. Moreover, we are not talking about some secret or new sources that historians simply did not take into account. We are talking about all the same chronicles and other sources of the Middle Ages, on which the supporters of the version of the "Mongol-Tatar" yoke relied. Often inconvenient facts are justified by the "mistake" of the chronicler or his "ignorance" or "interest".

1. There were no Mongols in the "Mongol-Tatar" horde

It turns out that there is no mention of warriors of the Mongoloid type in the troops of the "Tatar-Mongols". From the very first battle of the "invaders" with the Russian troops on the Kalka, the troops of the "Mongol-Tatars" had wanderers. Brodniki are free Russian warriors who lived in those places (the predecessors of the Cossacks). And at the head of the wanderers in that battle was the governor Ploskin - Russian and Christian.

Historians believe that the participation of Russians in the Tatar troops was forced. But they have to admit that, "probably, the forced participation of Russian soldiers in the Tatar army later ceased. There remained mercenaries who had already voluntarily joined the Tatar troops" (M. D. Poluboyarinova).

Ibn-Batuta wrote: "There were many Russians in Sarai Berke." Moreover: "The bulk of the armed service and labor forces of the Golden Horde were Russian people" (A. A. Gordeev)

"Let's imagine the absurdity of the situation: for some reason, the victorious Mongols hand over weapons to the "Russian slaves" they conquered, and those (being armed to the teeth) calmly serve in the troops of the conquerors, making up the "main mass" in them! Let us recall once again that the Russians supposedly had just been defeated in an open and armed struggle!Even in traditional history, ancient Rome never armed the slaves it had just conquered.Throughout history, the victors took away the weapons from the defeated, and if they later accepted them into service, they constituted an insignificant minority and were considered, of course, unreliable.

“But what can be said about the composition of Batu’s troops? The Hungarian king wrote to the Pope: “When the state of Hungary, from the invasion of the Mongols, as from the plague, for the most part, was turned into a desert, and like a sheepfold was surrounded by various tribes of infidels, namely: Russian , wanderers from the east, Bulgars and other heretics from the south..."

"Let's ask a simple question: where are the Mongols here? Russians, wanderers, Bulgars are mentioned - that is, Slavic and Turkic tribes. Translating the word "Mongol" from the king's letter, we simply get that "great (= megalion) peoples invaded", namely : Russians, wanderers from the east. Therefore, our recommendation is: it is useful to replace the Greek word "Mongol = megalion" with its translation = "great" every time. As a result, you will get a completely meaningful text, for understanding which you do not need to involve some distant people from the borders of China (About China, by the way, in all these reports there is not a word)." (G.V. Nosovsky, A.T. Fomenko)

2. It is not clear how many "Mongol-Tatars" there were

And how many Mongols were at the beginning of the Batu campaign? Opinions on this matter vary. There are no exact data, so there are only estimates of historians. In early historical writings, it was assumed that the army of the Mongols was about 500 thousand horsemen. But the more modern the historical work, the smaller the army of Genghis Khan becomes. The problem is that for each rider you need 3 horses, and a herd of 1.5 million horses cannot move, since the front horses will eat all the pasture and the rear ones will simply starve to death. Gradually, historians agreed that the "Tatar-Mongol" army did not exceed 30 thousand, which, in turn, was not enough to capture all of Russia and enslave it (not to mention the other conquests in Asia and Europe).

By the way, the population of modern Mongolia is a little more than 1 million, while even 1000 years before the conquest of China by the Mongols, there were already more than 50 million there. And the population of Russia already in the 10th century was about 1 million. At the same time, nothing is known about targeted genocide in Mongolia. That is, it is not clear how such a small state could conquer such large ones?

3. There were no Mongolian horses in the Mongolian troops

It is believed that the secret of the Mongolian cavalry was a special breed of Mongolian horses - hardy and unpretentious, capable of independently obtaining food even in winter. But it is in their own steppe that they can break the crust with their hooves and profit from grass when they graze, and what can they get in the Russian winter, when everything is swept up by a meter layer of snow, and you also need to carry a rider. It is known that in the Middle Ages there was a small ice age (that is, the climate was harsher than now). In addition, experts in horse breeding, based on miniatures and other sources, almost unanimously assert that the Mongol cavalry fought on Turkmen women - horses of a completely different breed that cannot feed themselves without human help in winter.

4. The Mongols were engaged in the unification of Russian lands

It is known that Batu invaded Russia at the time of permanent internecine struggle. In addition, the question of succession to the throne was acute. All these civil strife were accompanied by pogroms, ruin, murders and violence. For example, Roman Galitsky buried alive in the ground and burned his recalcitrant boyars at the stake, chopped "on the joints", tore off the skin from the living. A gang of Prince Vladimir, expelled from the Galician table for drunkenness and debauchery, walked around Russia. As the chronicles testify, this daring freewoman "dragged girls and married women for fornication, killed priests during worship, and put horses in the church. That is, there was an ordinary civil strife with a normal medieval level of atrocities, the same as in the West at that time.

And, suddenly, "Mongol-Tatars" appear, who rapidly begin to restore order: a strict mechanism of succession to the throne with a label appears, a clear vertical of power is built. Separatist encroachments are now nipped in the bud. It is interesting that nowhere, except for Russia, the Mongols do not show such preoccupation with restoring order. But according to the classical version, half of the then civilized world is in the Mongol empire. For example, during its western campaign, the horde burns, kills, robs, but does not impose tribute, does not try to build a vertical of power, as in Russia.

5. Thanks to the "Mongol-Tatar" yoke, Russia experienced a cultural upsurge

With the advent of the "Mongol-Tatar invaders" in Russia, the Orthodox Church began to flourish: many churches were erected, including in the horde itself, church ranks were elevated, and the church received many benefits.

Interestingly, the written Russian language during the "yoke" brings to a new level. Here is what Karamzin writes:

“Our language,” writes Karamzin, “from the 13th to the 15th centuries acquired more purity and correctness.” Further, according to Karamzin, under the Tatar-Mongols, instead of the former "Russian, uneducated dialect, writers more carefully adhered to the grammar of church books or ancient Serbian, which they followed not only in declensions and conjugations, but also in pronunciation."

So, in the West, classical Latin arises, and in our country, the Church Slavonic language in its correct classical forms. Applying the same standards as for the West, we must recognize that the Mongol conquest was the heyday of Russian culture. Mongols were strange conquerors!

Interestingly, not everywhere the "invaders" were so indulgent towards the church. In the Polish chronicles there is information about the massacre perpetrated by the Tatars among Catholic priests and monks. Moreover, they were killed after the capture of the city (that is, not in the heat of battle, but intentionally). This is strange, since the classical version tells us about the exceptional religious tolerance of the Mongols. But in the Russian lands, the Mongols tried to rely on the clergy, providing the church with significant concessions, up to complete exemption from taxes. It is interesting that the Russian Church itself showed amazing loyalty to the "foreign invaders."

6. Nothing left after the great empire

Classical history tells us that the "Mongol-Tatars" managed to build a huge centralized state. However, this state disappeared and left no traces behind. In 1480, Russia finally threw off the yoke, but already in the second half of the 16th century, Russians began to move eastward - beyond the Urals, to Siberia. And they did not meet any traces of the former empire, although only 200 years had passed. There are no large cities and villages, there is no Yamsky tract thousands of kilometers long. The names of Genghis Khan and Batu are not familiar to anyone. There is only a rare nomadic population, engaged in cattle breeding, fishing, and primitive agriculture. And no legends about great conquests. By the way, the great Karakoram was never found by archaeologists. But it was a huge city, where thousands and tens of thousands of artisans and gardeners were taken away (by the way, it’s interesting how they were driven through the steppes for 4-5 thousand km).

There are also no written sources left after the Mongols. In the Russian archives, no “Mongolian” labels for reigning were found, which should have been many, but there are many documents of that time in Russian. Several labels were found but already in the 19th century:

Two or three labels found in the 19th century And not in state archives, but in the papers of historians. For example, the famous label of Tokhtamysh, according to Prince M.A. were in the hands of the Polish historian Narushevich” Regarding this label, Obolensky wrote: “He (Tokhtamysh’s label - Auth) positively resolves the question in what language and what letters were written the ancient khan’s labels to the Russian Grand Dukes From the acts hitherto known to us, this is the second diploma” It turns out , further, that this label “is written in diverse Mongolian scripts, infinitely different, not in the least similar to the label of Timur-Kutluy already printed by Mr. Hammer in 1397”

7. Russian and Tatar names are difficult to distinguish

Old Russian names and nicknames did not always resemble our modern ones. These are the old Russian names and nicknames that can be mistaken for Tatar ones: Murza, Saltanko, Tatarinko, Sutorma, Eyancha, Vandysh, Smoga, Sugonai, Saltyr, Suleisha, Sumgur, Sunbul, Suryan, Tashlyk, Temir, Tenbyak, Tursulok, Shaban, Kudiyar , Murad, Nevruy. These names were borne by Russian people. But, for example, the Tatar prince Oleks Nevruy has a Slavic name.

8. Mongol khans fraternized with the Russian nobility

It is often mentioned that Russian princes and “Mongol khans” became brothers, relatives, sons-in-law and father-in-law, went on joint military campaigns. Interestingly, in no other country defeated or captured by them, the Tatars did not behave like this.

Here is another example of the amazing closeness of ours and the Mongol nobility. The capital of the great nomadic empire was in Karakorum. After the death of the Great Khan, the time comes for the election of a new ruler, in which Batu must also take part. But Batu himself does not go to Karakorum, but sends Yaroslav Vsevolodovich there to represent his person. It would seem that a more important reason to go to the capital of the empire could not be imagined. Instead, Batu sends a prince from the occupied lands. Marvelous.

9. Super-Mongol-Tatars

Now let's talk about the capabilities of the "Mongol-Tatars", about their uniqueness in history.

The stumbling block for all nomads was the capture of cities and fortresses. There is only one exception - the army of Genghis Khan. The answer of historians is simple: after the capture of the Chinese Empire, Batu's army took possession of the machines themselves and the technique of using them (or captured specialists).

It is surprising that the nomads managed to create a strong centralized state. The fact is that, unlike the farmer, nomads are not tied to the land. Therefore, with any dissatisfaction, they can simply pick up and leave. For example, when in 1916 the tsarist officials did something to the Kazakh nomads, they took and migrated to neighboring China. But we are told that the Mongols succeeded at the end of the XII century.

It is not clear how Genghis Khan could persuade his fellow tribesmen to go on a campaign “to the last sea”, not knowing the maps and nothing at all about those who would have to fight along the way. This is not a raid on neighbors you know well.

All adult and healthy men among the Mongols were considered warriors. In peacetime, they ran their household, and in wartime, they took up arms. But who did the "Mongol-Tatars" leave at home after they went on campaigns for decades? Who tends their flocks? Old people and children? It turns out that in the rear of this army there was no strong economy. Then it is not clear who ensured the uninterrupted supply of food and weapons to the army of the Mongols. This is a difficult task even for large centralized states, not to mention the state of nomads with a weak economy. In addition, the scope of the Mongol conquests is comparable to the theater of operations of World War II (and taking into account the battles with Japan, and not just Germany). The supply of weapons and provisions is simply impossible.

In the 16th century, the conquest of Siberia by the Cossacks began was not an easy task: it took about 50 years to fight several thousand kilometers to Baikal, leaving behind a chain of fortified fortresses. However, the Cossacks had a strong state in the rear, from where they could draw resources. And the military training of the peoples who lived in those places could not be compared with the Cossack. However, the "Mongol-Tatars" managed to cover twice as much distance in the opposite direction in a couple of decades, conquering states with developed economies. Sounds fantastic. There were other examples as well. For example, in the 19th century, it took Americans about 50 years to travel a distance of 3-4 thousand km: the Indian wars were fierce and the losses of the US army were significant, despite the gigantic technical superiority. Similar problems faced European colonizers in Africa in the 19th century. Only the “Mongol-Tatars” succeeded easily and quickly.

Interestingly, all the major campaigns of the Mongols in Russia were winter. This is not typical for nomadic peoples. Historians tell us that this allowed them to move quickly across frozen rivers, but this, in turn, requires a good knowledge of the terrain, which the alien conquerors cannot boast of. They fought equally successfully in the forests, which is also strange for the steppes.

There is evidence that the Horde distributed fake letters on behalf of the Hungarian king Bela IV, which caused great confusion in the camp of the enemy. Not bad for the steppes?

10. Tatars looked like Europeans

A contemporary of the Mongol wars, the Persian historian Rashid-ad-Din writes that in the family of Genghis Khan, children "were born mostly with gray eyes and blond." Chroniclers describe the appearance of Batu in similar expressions: fair-haired, light-bearded, light-eyed. By the way, the title "Genghis" is translated, according to some sources, as "sea" or "ocean". Perhaps this is due to the color of his eyes (in general, it is strange that the Mongolian language of the 13th century has the word “ocean”).

In the Battle of Liegnitz, in the midst of a skirmish, the Polish troops panic, and they take to flight. According to some sources, this panic was provoked by the cunning Mongols, who wormed their way into the battle formations of the Polish squads. It turns out that the “Mongols” looked like Europeans.

In 1252-1253, from Constantinople through the Crimea to the headquarters of Batu and further to Mongolia, the ambassador of King Louis IX, William Rubrikus, traveled with his retinue, who, driving along the lower reaches of the Don, wrote: “Everywhere among the Tatars settlements of the Rus are scattered; the Ruses mixed with the Tatars ... learned their ways, as well as clothes and lifestyle. Women adorn their heads with headdresses similar to those of French women; the bottom of the dress is trimmed with furs, otters, squirrels and ermine. Men wear short clothes; caftans, chekminis and lambskin hats… All routes of transportation in the vast country are served by the Rus; at the river crossings there are Russians everywhere.”

Rubricus travels through Russia only 15 years after its conquest by the Mongols. Didn't the Russians mix with the wild Mongols too quickly, adopted their clothes, retaining them until the beginning of the 20th century, as well as their customs and way of life?

At that time, not all of Russia was called “Rus”, but only: Kiev, Pereyaslav and Chernigov principalities. Often there were references to trips from Novgorod or Vladimir to “Rus”. For example, the Smolensk cities were no longer considered "Rus".

The word “horde” is often mentioned not in relation to the “Mongol-Tatars”, but simply to the troops: “Swedish horde”, “German horde”, “Zalesian horde”, “Land of the Cossack Horde”. That is, it simply means - an army and there is no “Mongolian” color in it. By the way, in modern Kazakh “Kzyl-Orda” is translated as “Red Army”.

In 1376, Russian troops entered the Volga Bulgaria, besieged one of its cities and forced the inhabitants to swear allegiance. Russian officials were planted in the city. According to the traditional story, it turned out that Russia, being a vassal and tributary of the “Golden Horde”, organizes a military campaign on the territory of the state that is part of this “Golden Horde” and forces it to take its vassal oath. As for written sources from China. For example, in the period 1774-1782 in China, seizures were made 34 times. A collection of all printed books ever published in China was undertaken. This was due to the political vision of history by the ruling dynasty. By the way, we also had a change of the Rurik dynasty to the Romanovs, so the historical order is quite probable. It is interesting that the theory of the "Mongol-Tatar" enslavement of Russia was born not in Russia, but among German historians much later than the alleged "yoke".
