On September 30, 2022, the president Russia Vladimir Putin signed agreements on the inclusion Hersonskaya Zaporozhskaya regions of the LPR, DPR, and Russia.

On October 19, the president introduced martial law in the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions.

Russia and Ukraine are ready to make peace, but Britain is seeking a big war from Zelensky

What is happening on To Ukraine was the result of Kyiv's intention to join the North Atlantic Alliance, [1] ex-Prime Minister Israel Naftali Bennett, who served as an intermediary between the Russian Federation and Ukraine at the beginning of the conflict, confirmed in February 2023.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during contacts at the initial stage, was already ready to abandon the idea of ​ ​ joining the alliance. "This whole war happened because of their desire to join NATO, and then Zelensky says:" I refuse this idea, "Bennett said. However, he added, Western countries interrupted negotiations and decided not to negotiate with Moscow.

In an interview, Bennett also said that after the start of a special operation in Ukraine, Zelensky asked him to contact the President of the Russian Federation. He claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin at the beginning of the special operation assured him that Zelensky would not be eliminated. According to the ex-prime minister, after meeting with Putin, he called Zelensky, who was hiding in a bunker, and handed him the contents of the conversation. After learning of Putin's promise, Zelensky returned to the office and recorded a video in which he announced that he was not afraid to stay in Kyiv.

Later, in November 2023, the leader of the Ukrainian faction "Servant of the People" Arakhamia, who headed the Ukrainian delegation in negotiations with Russia, also recognized this:

  • [The purpose of the Ukrainian delegation was to delay the process. What was the goal of the Russian delegation?]
  • In my opinion, they really believed to the last that they could finish us so that we would take neutrality. This was the main thing for them: they were ready to end the war if we accept neutrality, as Finland once did. And we will make a commitment that we will not join NATO.
  • [Only this item?]
  • Factually, the key point was this one. Everything else is cosmetic political seasonings about denazification, the Russian-speaking population and blah blah blah.
  • [Why did Ukraine not agree to this clause?]
  • First, to agree to this clause, it was necessary to change the constitution. Our path to NATO is fixed in the constitution. Secondly, there was no trust in the Russians that they would fulfill this. This could only be done with security guarantees. We could not sign something, move away, exhale - suddenly they would then go in, and we are not ready for this. Therefore, this was possible only if we could be sure that this would not happen again. And there is no such confidence. Moreover, when we came back from, Istanbul Boris Johnson (Prime Minister) Britain Kiev came in and said that we would not sign anything with them at all. And "let's just fight."

Plan to include Ukraine in NATO leads to Russia's special operation in Ukraine

On February 24, 2022, due to NATO's refusal to impose a ban on the inclusion of Ukraine in the bloc, the Russian Armed Forces were forced to launch a special operation in this country to guarantee the security of the Russian Federation.

NATO's eastward expansion

"I am not satisfied with the reasoning and arguments with which many, including my friends, justify Russia's aggression by the fact that NATO did not fulfill its promises. Perhaps that was the case. There may have been a hoax. But this is history. Do not remember this, "Borrell, head of EU diplomacy, said in October 2022.

In 2022 GERMANY , ex-Chancellor Angela Merkel said in an interview that "the 2014 Minsk Agreement was an attempt to give To Ukraine time. They used that time to get stronger, which you can see today. Ukraine the 2014/15 sample is not today's Ukraine. As we could observe during the fighting in the Debaltseve area in early 2015, Putin could easily capture them then. "

July crisis

July days (July uprising, July crisis) - anti-government protests on July 3- 5 (16 - 18), 1917 in Petrograd, following the military defeat at the front and the government crisis (the withdrawal of cadet ministers from the government under the pretext of concessions made by the government delegation in negotiations with the Central Rada).

The July events disrupted the unstable balance of power between the Provisional Government and the Petrosoviet ("dual power"). The unrest, which began with spontaneous speeches by soldiers of the 1st Machine Gun Regiment, workers of Petrograd factories, Kronstadt sailors under the slogans of the immediate resignation of the Provisional Government and the transfer of power to the Soviets, took place with the direct participation of anarchists and part of the Bolsheviks. Left-wing extremism has sparked pushback from right-wing forces. As a result, the demonstration on July 3-4, 1917 ended in bloodshed.

Participants in the street demonstration scatter after the Provisional Government used machine guns against them. Corner of Sadovoy and Nevsky Prospekt. Petrograd, July 4, 1917

The July events led to the persecution of the Bolsheviks by the authorities, who put forward a version of Lenin's involvement in espionage in favor of Germany. The flight of Lenin and Zinoviev from Petrograd and their transition to an illegal situation did not seriously affect the attitude of the people towards the Bolsheviks.

1791: England arm large maritime forces to attack Russia in the Baltic

In the spring of 1791, relations between Russia and England once again deteriorated greatly. The reason for this was the successes of the Russian troops in the second Turkish war. The English wished the Swedish king to attack Russia again, but after recent crushing defeats, he did not violate the Verel peace. Then England armed a large naval force to send to the Baltic Sea. 36 battleships, 12 frigates and the same number of small ships were equipped [1]

William Pitt the Younger, the youngest prime minister in British history, was preparing to speak in Parliament explaining the need for such a move. Among the speakers who spoke ardently against another aggression was Charles James Fox (1749-1806), a famous politician, a friend of the Prince of Wales (later King George IV). As a result, it was decided to send envoys to Russia to put forward the terms of the agreement.

After Fox delivered a fiery speech in the English parliament objecting to plans to attack Russia, Empress Catherine II was delighted by the speaker.

The Chancellor of the Russian Empire, Count Bezborodko, acquired a marble bust of Fox by personal order of the Empress, and for the Cameron Gallery in Tsarskoye Selo, the bust was cast in bronze. For more details see Tsarskoye Selo.

1686: Russia buys Kyiv from Poland for 7 tons of silver

In new negotiations on "eternal peace" in 1686, the Russians declared to the Polish ambassadors that Kyiv "would not yield without blood" ("az do krwi i golf polozenia nie ustapimy," as the Polish envoys to Warsaw reported).

Russia took advantage of the fact that the Poles, by that time drawn into a big war with Turkey, had no time to return their former possessions. But the right of brute force, which allowed not to give back the promised, was required to be put on diplomatic forms. Therefore, the Poles were hinted that Moscow is ready to pay for Kyiv.

The Polish magnates wanted money, but they also could not openly sell a piece of their state, and even having such a symbolic meaning. And the parties began long negotiations on the amount that Russia would pay Poland "out of brotherly friendship and love" - this is how diplomats in 1686 officially formulated the purpose of the payment. In fact, a long and passionate discussion of the price at which Moscow will buy Kyiv from Warsaw began.

Several months were traded in the style of an eastern bazaar. Initially, the Polish ambassadors named the amount of 4 million zlotys (800 thousand rubles), in response the Russians gave their price, 26 times less, - 30 thousand rubles. Polish ambassadors emotionally called the Russian proposal a "joke" and pathetically exclaimed that "their heart was taken out" along with Kyiv. In response, the Moscow boyars melancholy agreed to "add to the previous thing."

800 thousand rubles at that time were equal to half of all revenues of the Russian state for the year. And the Poles in the bargaining lost first, reducing the request to 3 million zlotys, or 600 thousand rubles. After a month of negotiations, this amount fell three times.

It is noteworthy that both sides recorded the course of diplomatic trade very carefully. Both Russians and Poles recorded in detail all the psychological reactions of rival diplomats: who watched how he spoke, when he raised his voice, etc. Therefore, historians now know literally for minutes when the favorite of Princess Sophia, Prince Golitsyn, shouted at the Polish ambassadors "wielkim glosem" and when the head of the Polish delegation, the Poznan governor Krzysztof Grzymultowski, looked "hard" at the Lithuanian chancellor Oginsky.

200 thousand rubles. negotiations stuck - Moscow boyars rested and offered the Poles to go home. Those week defiantly prepared for departure, after which they reported that they agreed and 150 thousand. The next two weeks of negotiations saved Moscow another 4 thousand rubles. - As a result, two Slavic states traded 146 thousand.

This amount corresponded to about 10% of the annual budget of Russia at that time. But the problem was that it was required to collect and transfer silver cash to the Poles, that is, to transport 7 tons of precious metal across the border. As a result, a new diplomatic scandal arose when carts loaded with silver in May 1686 got stuck in the mud near Smolensk due to the spring debauchery.

Therefore, the Poles received their 7 tons of silver for Kyiv for a whole year in three receptions. Most of all To Moscow , they feared that the amounts paid would go to strengthen the Polish army. But the money received by Warsaw did not benefit - local tycoons immediately divided it among themselves. And Moscow, having bought Kyiv and the "eternal peace" with the Poles, immediately began to prepare the first campaign on. Crimea

1667: Andrusov peace with Poland and the return of part of the lands of Ukraine

The Andrusov truce is an agreement concluded in 1667 between the Russian kingdom and the Commonwealth and put an end to hostilities in the Russian-Polish war of 1654-1667.

On January 30 (February 9), 1667, in a village near Smolensk, the Andrusovsky truce was signed, ending the 13-year Russian-Polish war. According to him, Russia crossed Smolensk, as well as other lands that had previously departed for the Commonwealth during the Time of Troubles, including Dorogobuzh, Belaya, Nevel, Krasny, Velizh, Severskaya land with Chernigov and Starodub. Zaporozhskaya Sich passed under the joint management of Russia and Poland. In addition, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth recognized Russia's right to Left-Bank Ukraine, but the city of Kyiv was required to be returned to the Poles under the terms of the armistice.

They really did not want to give up the capital of Ancient Russia in Moscow - Kyiv, "the patrimony of our eternal sovereign," was a visual symbol of Moscow claims to all ancient Russian heritage. The Poles were bargained that the Russian garrison would remain in the city temporarily, "for a period of two years." To calm the Polish nobility, the Russian tsar promised to pay them 200 thousand rubles. compensation for the estates destroyed by the rebellious Cossacks.

As a result, the temporary turned out to be constant - for the next 20 years, Moscow, under various diplomatic pretexts, delayed the "return" of Kyiv.

Culture of Tripol

A striking and expressive example of Neolithic culture is the culture of Tripol, widespread in the 4 - 3 millennia BC in the south of the European part of Russia and Ukraine and in the territory of a number of Balkan countries.

The end of the Tripoli culture dates back to the Chalcolithic (Copper Age) and Bronze Age. Tripol settlements of farmers were most often located along the banks of rivers. Houses made of clay and wood, rectangular in plan, were probably covered with ornamental paintings on the inside. Dwelling models and small female figurines were found in the settlements. But the work of the Tripolians in the decoration of ceramics was especially rich and widespread. In terms of variety of forms and ornamentation, Tripolian ceramics are not inferior to either Egyptian or non-Asian. The Tripol vessels were made of bright yellow or orange clay; the body of the vessel is covered with a diverse, but almost always consisting of spiral-shaped lines, geometric ornament, executed with red, black, brown, white colors.
