a man who was despised and hated in an educated society, grigory rasputin, we will especially talk about him later, but here... for reflection, what this man wrote to emperor nicholas on the eve of the war, when enthusiasm in russia was associated with the fact that we would join into the war and we will certainly defeat the tifton germans was unusual. with the opinion of both

the left and right of russian society, and we interrupt our broadcast for a while, red wings airline has launched a new direction of cargo transportation, it will develop on skygates airlines base, the first board in zhukovsky was met by my colleague anna lazreva, she is now in direct contact with us, anya, hello, how did it go, maria, hello! the first flight has already been successful, one might say. so, the first commercial flight of the modernized il-96400t landed at zhukovsky airport in just a couple of hours and did it very effectively. i suggest you take a look.

dear friend, i’ll say it again, there’s a menacing cloud over russia, there’s trouble, there’s a lot of grief, there’s no darkness and there’s no light, there are tears, there’s a sea, but there’s no measure, about blood, what can i say, there are no words, indescribable horror, i know, everyone wants war from you, and truly not knowing that for the sake of death, god ’s punishment is heavy, when the mind is taken away, here... the beginning of the end, you, king, father of the people, do not allow the insane to triumph and destroy themselves, people, here germany will be defeated, but russia, to think so truly, was no longer a sufferer,

drowning all in blood, great destruction, endless, sadness, 1914, revolutions have not yet occurred. another amazing story, of course, is that all

the monarchs, heads of state, were all relatives, george, king of england, was a cousin. nicholas ii. wilhelm was a relative of alexandra fedorovna, along some lines, also of nicholas ii, a lot of photographs where they communicate with each other. sometimes they say, well, this nikolai

, there was no need to go to war, there was no need to fight the germans, but what should he have done when on august 1, 1914, the german ambassador in san petersburg came to the ministry of foreign affairs to see minister sergei dmitrovich sazonov , and russia suspends anything. mobilization of its army, or germany declares war on it, war was absolutely inevitable, suspending mobilization is meant surrender, because in any case germany would enter its territory. ambassador of germany in st. petersburg. and the minister of foreign affairs of the russian empire sergei

dmitrievich sazunov burst into tears, hugged each other, and the german left the office of the russian minister, they foresaw what terrible troubles this war would turn into for both the russian and german people. and for all peoples of the world. russia was not quite ready for this war. the rearmament of the army was supposed to end in a few years, the german general staff knew this very well. but despite this, the situation.

russia had 263 aircraft, germany had 232, england 258, france 156. we were second only to france in the number of cars. shells, indeed, this was a big problem for russia, a thousand shells for the army, in france 1300, in germany 1500. the question of rearmament, the question of transferring peaceful industry onto a military footing, was extremely acute, did nikolai succeed, did he succeed? him... this is best told to us by a person who

is difficult to suspect of special sympathy for russia. winston churchel, a man who fought in the first world war, was a military man, a journalist, a politician, knew very well the situation that had arisen at that time. writes: there are few episodes in great russia in 1916. at the beginning, the russian army was led by the supreme commander-in-chief, a relative of nicholas ii, the closest relative, grand duke nikolai nikolaevich, but defeats followed one after another. many cities were abandoned.

turned to russia with a request to launch a counteroffensive on the eastern front and distract the germans.

fauge so openly said with gratitude then that if france was not erased from the map of europe, then it owes this to russia. this is absolutely true. remember the wonderful book by erich maria: no changes on the western front, well, no changes. there were no changes, often, often, i emphasize, because the main forces are in german. france held out with the help of russia in the first world war, the fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth

years, and became the victorious country. in the second world war, having only allies great britain, we remember how long france held out against the germans, 40 days, and after 40 days france capitulated, the germans marched in a victorious parade through paris. anton ivanovich denikin. wrote in his memoirs that by mid-january of the seventeenth year, the russian army held 187 enemy divisions on its front, that is , 49% of all enemy forces operating on the european asian fronts. russia, the russian army confronted three

states. what did the government of nicholas ii do? the successes of the russian government in rearmament during the fighting of the russian army is recognized by everyone. now we heard how nikolai was assessed. by 1917, the production of guns had doubled , the production of machine guns had doubled , the then famous kovrov machine gun factory, the best in the world, had been built, the production of light guns had increased by nine times, of heavy guns by four times, and finally, that same shell famine that

had so weakened our army , by the way,

a rotten tyranny capable of nothing, but an analysis of the 30 months of war with germany and austria should correct these lightweights. we can measure by the blows that it suffered, by the disasters that it

represented, the strength of the russian empire we survived, by the inexhaustible forces that it deployed and by the restoration of forces of which it was capable. the king leaves the stage, and all those who love him are forced to suffer. death, his efforts are downplayed , his actions are condemned, his memory is defamed, stop , tell me who else turned out to be suitable, there was no shortage of talented, brave people, ambitious and proud people of spirit, courageous powerful people, but no one managed to answer those few simple questions on which the life of the worms depended. later, you and i will carefully observe what kind of deadly rot in power in society has struck russia, and

what worms have devoured it. in the meantime, let's answer one bewilderment that probably arose among a considerable number of viewers. after all, many people know the catchphrase attributed to the same winston churchel. left her with the atomic bomb. sakha, this is practically a primitive instrument, somehow it doesn’t fit together, all because the immortal terada is about the notorious sakha and the atomic bomb, belongs, of course, not to churchel, but to the british marxist isaac deutscher. he was a repentant trotskyist, and to make amends in this article. the same sakha and bomba just appeared. we have already said that despite

all the difficulties of wartime, russia was the country, the only one of all the warring countries, where there were practically no food cards. economy during the first world war, except economics. emperor nicholas ii announced that he himself

was becoming supreme commander and takes control of the army into his own hands. this caused ambivalence in russia and among the allies. creating military hospitals, they themselves trained, truly trained, not formally, but for real, at the school of nurses and aides, assisted during

operations, cared for sick soldiers, the empress gave huge personal sums for the creation of hospitals, she was a unique woman , endlessly loving... after nikolai alexandrovich became the supreme commander-in-chief, everyone was horrified, what a nightmare, he didn’t take up his own business, he an incapable military leader, but the facts indicate otherwise, russia did not give it up to the enemy. russian land, the retreat was suspended, all plans

for defense and offensive, strategic... the head of the general staff, general alekseev, and many members of the general staff were categorically against this offensive in austria-hungary and in fact , it was nicholas ii who supported general brusilov, together they we finalized this project in the most responsible way, as a result.
