The military campaign of 1812 remained in the memory of the people as the Patriotic War. For the emperor of France, Napoleon Bonaparte, going to Russia and back was just one of the unsuccessful military operations. And what did the leader of the nation say to the French, how did he explain his failure when he returned to France in December 1812?...
In this speech, the military genius of Europe formulated the philosophy of the “EU countries” in relation to both the Russian state and the Russian people. A philosophy that apparently guides the European Union 200 years later.
Traveling incognito
We know that in November 1812 the French emperor abandoned the remnants of his army on the eastern bank of the Berezina River and fled light to the West. In the official publication "Herald of the Emperor's Headquarters" it was then printed that Napoleon " travels around Europe incognito».
Jan Vladislav Chelminsky. Flight of Napoleon
The exhausted guardsmen of the Great Army, who broke through the battle through the Russian avant-gardes, were angered by the news that their commander-in-chief had become a “simple tourist”.
The French, who learned that their idol had abandoned the soldiers and arrived in Paris, were shocked. After all, boxes filled with freshly minted bronze medals “For the Capture of Moscow” had already been prepared at the imperial mint.
Napoleon ordered these awards to be made when his army entered the capital of Russia. But they didn’t have time to bring them to the “country of barbarians” and solemnly reward the soldiers of the valiant army.
Mysterious speech
And in the Senate, the French emperor was awaited in complete bewilderment. Everyone had questions on their lips: what happened in Russia? What kind of war did the emperor wage there? For what? And why, after forcing the Russians to retreat from Borodino and taking Moscow, Bonaparte fled Russia? How could you lose the campaign by capturing the capital of the enemy?
By the way, the war with Alexander I was not over, and Napoleon had to justify the need to continue it.
Flight of Napoleon from Russia. 19th century engraving
Bonaparte returned to Paris on December 18, 1812, and delivered a speech two days later. Hardly anyone in Russia knew about it then, and hardly any of the domestic historians analyzed it later. But in vain. Why - you will understand. The text of the speech was published in Russian only in 1888 in the journal Russkaya Starina. So what did their emperor say to the French senators? Here is that speech:
“The war I am waging with Russia is a political war. I fought without malice. I wanted to rid Russia of the evils she had brought upon herself. I could arm the greatest part of her people against her by proclaiming the freedom of the slaves. Many villages asked me about it.
But when I found out in what rudeness this numerous class of the Russian people is, I abandoned this measure, which doomed so many families to death and the most cruel torments. My army has suffered losses, but this is from a harsh winter that has come prematurely.».
Russian threat
That's all. Napoleon's speech to the senators was brief. And it didn't provide any clarity. It is unlikely that Parisian politicians even remotely imagined that “ measure of rudeness", in which the most " large class of Russian people". And what kind of class is this and what does the French care about it?
And what kind of families in Russia did the emperor save "from cruel torment"? Why did the French army have to suffer gigantic losses and cover itself with shame in order to rid a foreign country of some of its "evils"?
Napoleon's retreat from Moscow to winter quarters. Satirical drawing. 1912
If you look into the depths of history, it turns out that starting from the 16th century, every 100 years in Europe, they suddenly began to worry about the “Russian threat”. Every 100 years, the armies of Europe rushed to fight the "Russian barbarians", and this struggle always began on the territory of Muscovy itself.
True, soon those of the “fighters”, whom fate had mercy on and who avoided the terrible fate of forever lying in Russian soil, fled back. And the Russian army always escorted them to their home. Before the start of the next campaign to "liberate from the Russian threat", the beaten Europeans licked their wounds, and they demanded repentance from Russia ... for the victory.
"Russian barbarians"! They, by virtue of their savagery and thought, did not allow that the cultured Europeans should have defeated them.
Yours among yours
Even among those who seriously studied the history of the Patriotic War of 1812, the question remained not fully clarified: why did Napoleon invade Russia?
Territorial and demographic reasons are excluded. The "living spaces in the east" were not of interest to the French at the beginning of the 19th century. Bonaparte's manic idea to wipe the Russian state off the face of the earth and destroy the Russians without exception was not visible ...
But let's carefully reread his speech delivered in the Senate. Much becomes clear from it if it is translated not only into Russian, but also into the language of common sense.
« The war is political"- this is a war not just with Russia, but above all with England's ally on the continent. Alexander I opened the ports for British merchants, after which the French economic blockade against England became impossible.
Napoleon and Alexander 1 in Erfurt. Engraving by Ch. Monnet, 1808
« Deliverance of Russia from evils”is deliverance from trade with England, which Alexander I restored, having barely ascended the throne. Napoleon could have defeated the Russian Empire by turning the Patriotic War into a civil war - abolishing serfdom in fact and arming the peasantry as his allies. And since all the soldiers of the Russian army are former peasants, it was reasonable to start agitation in the army against the officers and the nobility.
Napoleon in the war of 1812 consciously refused such a move, remaining true to the aristocracy, even the foreign aristocracy. And this despite the fact that he risked losing the campaign and, in the long run, losing France. The owners of the lordly estates were his own for him, despite the war with their emperor.
humanitarian aid
But what is most offensive: it was after this speech that the whole of Europe was convinced that only the climate saves Russia from defeat. Frost and snow. Since supposedly only this did not allow their brilliant emperor to win.
An unusual look at the Patriotic War of 1812, isn't it? It turns out that the Russian soldiers were not so much defending their country as the interests of English trading companies. This conclusion is supported by the fact that in December 1812 the British Parliament decided to provide "humanitarian aid" from the country's budget to those provinces in Russia that suffered the most from Napoleon's troops.
Unheard of generosity from stingy Anglo-Saxons. Or is it a payment of interest on the profits that British entrepreneurs received from trade with Russia, and from Russian blood that flowed in streams near Smolensk, Borodino, Maloyaroslavets?

oratory luther teresa
A distinctive feature of people, which gives us an undeniable advantage over all living things in this world, is undoubtedly speech.
It's not just that we can communicate - all living things can communicate.
People have created and continue to create words that, in fact, are symbols for conveying information about everything in the world: about any subject, about time and space, about concrete and abstract concepts, about ideas, feelings and entities. We give names to everything around us. Another question is whether an individual person can influence the masses with the help of these words? Can simple words change the course of history, influence the future of the world? Of course they can, especially if they are spoken by great people. Ordinary people become great when their hearts are filled with compassion and concern not so much for themselves as for others. These are people who feel the world around them with all its sores much closer than their own lives and try to change it. One can endlessly argue and agree with such public speeches, re-read and re-listen, but these masterpieces of oratory have already irrevocably changed the world, and they must be reckoned with.
American priest and civil rights activist Martin Luther King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. "Martin Luther King became the first black African American to be heard." So the newspapers of that time wrote about his speech.
On August 28, 1963, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC, King delivered his famous speech in which he expressed his belief in the brotherhood of all people and which is a magnificent example of oratory.
In his speech, King managed to touch the main strings of the American cultural code. The speaker supported his theses with quotations not only from the Bible, but also from the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. At the end of the speech, King told how he wants to see the American future.
"I have a dream that one day a nation will rise up and realize... that all men are created equal... I dream of the day when... the glory of the Lord will appear and all flesh will see the salvation of God... this is our hope and our faith.With this faith, we will be able to work our way from the mountain of despair to the rock of hope.This faith will help us to work together, pray together, stand for freedom together, knowing that the day of our deliverance will come.But on the way to the righteous place we must not commit unrighteous deeds..."
After King's speech at the Lincoln Memorial, which is famous for freeing American slaves, several major black protests took place in the United States. As a result, in just one year, President Lyndon Johnson will be forced to sign legislation prohibiting racial discrimination in trade, services and employment.
But not everyone in the United States liked such changes. On April 4, 1968, at the age of 39, Martin Luther King Jr. was shot dead on the balcony of his room in a Memphis hotel.
King was the first black American to have a bust erected in the Great Rotunda of the Capitol in Washington. January 20 is celebrated in America as Martin Luther King Day and is considered a national holiday.
Martin Luther King had a clear idea of what awaits him in HIS society for promoting his views and ideas. This is an honest man who chose the truth of life and the protection of the interests of humiliated and offended people by race. The speech of this man is the song of a strong and courageous bird that lives a short but bright life.
The next speech, which I will now tell you about, is no less majestic.
Mother Teresa is the greatest woman of the 20th century. The life of this kind and fragile woman was amazing and special, she managed to conquer love and devotion all over the world, and her wise advice helped millions of people.
“From the bottom of my heart, I turn to you today - to every person of all peoples of the world: to people on whom the adoption of great decisions depends, but also to mothers, fathers and children in cities and towns, villages and villages.
Today the greatest evil, the greatest destroyer in the world, is abortion. We who are here today have been welcome children. And we wouldn't be here if our parents decided to treat us like that.
We must remember that love begins at home and that the future of humanity is born in the family. Love and peace begin with love for children.
Abortion does not teach a mother about love, but kills her own child in order to solve her problems. Abortion makes the father understand that he should not bear any responsibility for the child who was born from him. Such a father is likely to bring similar problems to other women. Thus, one abortion provokes new murders of children.
If we accept that a mother can even kill her own child, how can we explain to people not to kill each other! How can we discourage a woman from having an abortion? Like everything else, we must explain this with love, and we ourselves must remember that love means being willing to give yourself even to the point of pain. A mother who thinks about abortion needs to be helped to love, so that she can give herself, sacrifice her years, her free time, so that she respects the life of her child.
No country that allows abortion teaches its citizens about love, but teaches them to use force to fulfill their desires. That is why abortion is the greatest destroyer of love and peace.
If there is any child somewhere that you do not want or cannot feed and raise, give it to me. I will not reject any child. Guarantee him a home or find loving parents for him or her. We fight abortion through adoption and adoption and have already given thousands of children to caring families. And it's so wonderful to see the love and unity that a child brings to a family."
Picking up abandoned children, Mother Teresa was in a hurry to give them not only a roof over their heads, but above all, love and affection. She believed that in the house of mercy there can be the simplest conditions, the main thing is that a person feels needed by someone.
A simple woman who decided on such a crazy act was able to change the world. It would seem that one woman in a foreign country can do. She created a large number of shelters, helped a large number of people and left behind many followers who continue the work she started.
Mother Teresa is a symbol of goodness and light, a helping hand extended to all who need it. No wonder her name became a household name.
These people became not just history, they created this history. With their lives, their activities, they influenced the course of history and changed the lives of many people.
Thus, it is important to understand what a person believes in, what thoughts and words he sends into reality, and then he receives back, so it is very important to pay attention to your thoughts, actions and thoughts.
Every word we say carries both a destructive and a creative charge of energy and strength. With our words and thought forms we create ourselves, our reality, the world around us, it is important to replace destruction with creation!
For a long time I did not write my own, of course, far from professional, but still reviews-recommendations on books. Since the last post (by the way, highly recommend) several months have passed, and during this time several books have already been read. In general, I'm getting better.
Interesting and useful because it is a story. Just drink the book. In one gulp. This book contains the most significant speeches of famous people who in one way or another influenced the further development of events, i.e. to some extent changed the world.
250 pages of valuable material. All speeches are accompanied by unique black and white photographs showing the place where the speech was delivered and the speaker himself. These pictures have some additional influence on the consciousness, in which the whole picture of what is happening emerges. In addition, each speech in the book begins with a short essay describing what preceded the delivered speech.
The book is definitely expensive. In boffo, a business literature boutique where I regularly buy, this book costs almost 3,000 rubles (). Many will think about buying this book for themselves, but if you have friends, acquaintances, distinguished subordinates, etc., then the book will undoubtedly be a chic gift, given that it is not only useful and interesting, but also designed with taste. I forked out and bought it for myself. I don't regret it at all. See screenshots below:
Here I would like to write out a few quotations. This is a tradition. When describing a book, write out some phrases from it in order to use them as quotes. But the thing is, this book is all about quotes. Publishing one and not publishing another is a crime.
Therefore, I will simply put the final verdict in the form of an assessment. On a 5-point scale: — 6 5 points 🙂
If possible, be sure to buy this book. Even if you don't read it, it will simply be a decoration for your bookshelf.
