[000:00:00;00] on our side, the maximum that ukraine can do in africa is give me, give me, ask for money, denmark is not the largest country in the world, we cannot make important decisions, we want to provide maximum support to ukraine, we cannot make important decisions , that’s why we support ukraine, i’ll be frank with you, for example, we’re talking about tunisia, it didn’t even receive one euro , they squeezed everything, everything went to ukraine, she doesn’t even understand who’s talking to her, banderas thought, this is such an actor, they say that we will take what belongs to us, this programmed chaos on the streets of europe. the americans succeeded in making hundreds of millions of people commit suicide. show vavan and lexus, tomorrow on the first. catherine the first had neither inclinations nor talents for state affairs. having elevated her to the throne, menshikov established the supreme privy

council, which he himself headed. supreme. privy council, an advisory body of six to eight people that decided the most important state issues. the council subordinated the senates and collegiums and, according to the decree of catherine ii. he had power equal to that of the sovereign. in the competence of the council did not include the question of the order of succession to the throne, but this restriction was also violated by its members. for now, trying to maintain their position. he keenly observed the lives of other contenders for the throne, including anna ioanovna. soon an unexpected guest arrived in courland, the illegitimate son of the polish king, count moritz , came to visit the duchess. he served in the french army and was looking for an opportunity to get at least some title. prone to

vantirism, but charming and... witty , the young widow liked the count, and did not putting it on the back burner, he offered her his hand and heart. anna agreed. her faithful assistant bestuzhev ryumin contributed to the election of count moritz as the new duke. everything was going as well as possible, anna ioanovna was already choosing her wedding dress, when suddenly a new obstacle stood in the way of her family happiness. marriages between representatives of royal families often entailed a serious reshuffle for european governments. the marriage of count moritz to anna ioanovna could lead to

the loss of his russian identity. and its more dense merging with poland, in warsaw itself this marriage would strengthen french influence. this change in the political balance did not suit the neighboring state. the holy roman empire, prussia, and of course, russia. menshikov personally arrived in mitava to ban this wedding. after listening to the prince, anna did not betray her feelings in any way; as soon as he left, the duchess ordered the carriage to be laid, and now rushed to

st. petersburg, to the empress. storitsa threw herself at catherine’s feet, begging for permission to marry count moritz. but the russian sovereign this time i couldn't help. she returned to the hateful metava with a bitter feeling. and the empress soon fell ill with veharadka. her condition rapidly deteriorated. menshikov searched desperately. after her death, the plan finally matured. the prince persuaded catherine to draw up a will, which indicated that the throne, in the event of her death, would pass to the minor to marry menshikov’s daughter. on may 6, 1727 at 6:00 pm catherine i died. the next day, the court swore an oath

to the eleven-year-old. the heir knew menshikov from early childhood and considered him his mentor and trusted him in everything, now after death. he was awarded the highest military rank, generalissimo, expelled all ill-wishers from st. petersburg in order to keep the young emperor under control, menshikov settled him in his palace and became engaged to his daughter maria. alexander danilovich, although he was called the most serene prince , came from the common people, he dreamed of receiving a prestigious european title that he could pass on to his descendants, and decided to become the duke of courland, but first it

was necessary to deprive moritz of saxony of this title, anna's ex-fiance. during the middle ages, the title of duke denoted the person closest to the king. designate administrative positions and spoke only about the belonging of their bearers to noble families. at the same time, the title of duke was second in importance only to the royal one. small european autonomies were often ruled by the dukes. in 1727 , despite this victory, menshikov

failed to achieve election as duke; for his failure, he blamed the russian ambassador bestuzhe ryumin, who could not provide the prince support among the local nobility for him. anna had it the most. fearing to lose her last support, she sent message after message to the capital, begging, pleading, demanding not to take away her only assistant. but menshikov is adamant. she was left alone again. sometimes she imagined how the hated

ducal castle would be destroyed and another sharp turn, letters from st. petersburg to mitava. or often, but today the number of messages has exceeded all expectations. the news was worth it. anna ivanovna's main enemy, the all-powerful menshikov, defeated. some reported that alexander danilovich embezzled money that peter sent to his sister. others added that the young emperor, having acquired a taste for power, was tired of menshikov’s arbitrariness, and broke off his engagement with his daughter. and decided to reign at his own discretion, day after day new news came: menshikov was arrested, his funds , the palaces of the estate were confiscated, finally, menshikov ’s family was sent into exile in the city of berezov, in

the siberian province, anna did not believe her luck, is it really now... she can breathe freely and arrange her life in her own way discretion, she never dreamed of anything more. the laws gave the king wide powers to confiscate valuables and lands from his subjects. nevertheless, russian autocrats never abused this right. the property of disgraced aristocrats, state criminals and traitors, was usually transferred to the state treasury, so after the arrest of menshikov , 100,000 souls of serfs belonging to his serene highness became the property of the sovereign. when menshikov’s family was heading into exile, anna ioannovna already had a new favorite. her

secretary ernst buren changed his surname to a more harmonious one and was now called biron in the french manner. anna made him manager of the estate, and then chamberlain. beron married anna ioanovna's maid of honor and had three children, which did not prevent him from openly remaining his beloved duchess, and his soul itself was filled with a new feeling, maternal love. it was rumored that one of beron's sons, karl, was her child. common concerns brought anna ioanovna even closer to her beloved man. she gave him her time and heart. it was the simplest and most real happiness and life in metawa began to make

sense. meanwhile, peter ii and his entire court moved to moscow, the young emperor , who did not like st. petersburg with its northern climate, returned moscow to its previous status, in fact, it again became the capital of the state, but the teenage tsar was in no hurry with the coronation, he was careless and spent time on the hunt, driving through the surrounding forests. the highest dignitaries had difficulty convincing peter to perform an important ritual. the ceremony of crowning the national figure of the king as the viceroy of god on earth. all ceremonies took place in the assumption cathedral moscow kremlin. the monarch was presented with symbols of power, manomakh's cap, precious mantles, barmas and a golden belt. then a cross was added to them, on which the sovereign gave

the kiss of the cross, that is, they took an oath, as well as an orb, as a symbol of power over the orthodox lands, and the scepter. with the transformation of the muscovite kingdom into the russian empire, the procedure for enthroning the monarch also changed . during the coronation of peter ii. a mantle was thrown over his shoulders, and manomakh's hat was replaced with a crown. several imperial crowns have survived to this day. house of the romanovs. the first russian imperial crown was made for the coronation. subsequently, it, like some other crowns, was dismantled. in the armory of the moscow kremlin there is only a gilded silver frame. the most famous remains the large imperial crown of catherine ii. currently stored in the diamond fund. it was made in

1762 by the court jeweler georg friedrich eckart and the diamond master jeremy pozier. the crown is decorated with diamonds and topped with a rare bright red gemstone colors. spinel. during the coronation, the large imperial crown was placed on the head of all subsequent russian autocrats, including the last, nicholas ii. while a new emperor was crowned in ancient moscow , anna ioanovna seemed to have found peace, her life was gradually getting better, she entrusted the vision to her favorite and adviser beron, and she nursed little karl and had fun hunting birds. anna shot surprisingly accurately, she probably t... would have remained in metava until the end of her days if it had been used

events were not intervened by a tragic accident. on january 6, 1730, the lightly dressed emperor received a parade in the bitter cold, snow was falling, and the sovereign was not in good health. 12 days later, on the night of january 18-19, peter iii died after the death of the king, the country was on the verge of complete ruin. unlike his great grandfather peter ii. was not interested in either the army or the navy. st. petersburg was overgrown with grass due to the small number of residents. new ships were not built, and old ones rotted.

robbery attacks have become more frequent in the provinces, corruption assumed unprecedented proportions, there was not enough money in the treasury, the answer is, after menshikov’s disgrace, it was ruled by representatives of an ancient family, the princes of dololrukovo, they had to decide the main question of who would take the throne, with the grandson of peter i, the male line of the romanov house was completely broken, and now the glances of the supreme leaders turned to... the candidate of elizabeth, the daughter of peter pekaterina , from the threshold, who else but her would become an obedient puppet of the dolgoruky princes. to secure their position, they drew up so-called standards. anna could only get the throne subject to signing this document. according to the rules, the empress did not have

the right to interfere with the introduction of the state budget. these and other points made the empress a figure. real power was transferred to the supreme privy council, that is, a narrow circle of oligarchs. the first attempts to limit autocracy were made in russia at the beginning of the 17th century, during the era of unrest, but subsequently they were not continued; the monarchy was maintained with an elected parliament. the swedish king had only two votes in the state council, which in its turn... reported to parliament. in poland, the king himself was an elected figure. he was elected by the sejm, which usually led to endless squabbles, scandals and bribery of deputies. here you go, be very

tasty. in front of prince vasily dolgorukov , it seemed that there was a simple landowner sitting, you will regret it, who would be easy to fool. or maybe to us, and she listened to the important guest, feigning amazement: the latest events were truly amazing, just yesterday she was a duchess without a duchy, she suffered poverty for many years, and today she was offered an imperial the crown, yes, they were going to make it a pawn for someone else. can stand up for himself,

no matter what the cost? anna read the conditions, handed over the pen, wrote on the document, therefore i promise, everything without anything... to be contained, and without hesitation she signed. she was taken to moscow like a prisoner. on february 10, 1730, she was brought to the village of vsesvyatskoye near moscow. the leaders were going to keep anna under house arrest until her coronation. fearing a conspiracy, no one was allowed to see her. and the lively karla, she was worried not only about own life. but when her sisters arrived to the duchess, dolgorukovo did not dare to hide the baby in diapers. anna perked up. she has many supporters in moscow, and most importantly,

the guard is on her side. the guards regiments remained an elite part of the russian army and the emperor's personal guard. but. during palace coups, the guard also became the main source of danger for the monarch if its officers took the side of the conspirators. he simply did not have any other forces that the emperor could rely on to protect his freedom and life. them at that time, secret meetings of anna's followers were held in moscow. the power of the korist. the leaders were not satisfied with the majority of the nobles; they pinned their hopes on the new one, with her mercy , to protect their rights.

87 people signed the petition to the future empress. you were sure that everything was going according to their scenario, anna ordered to submit the document, once again ran her eyes over the lines, and suddenly tore the hated paper. anna openly drew a line under her past. fate gave her a chance to change her life and she took advantage of it. the duchess of kurlan no longer existed. anna ioanovna,

empress and autocrat of all russia, ascended the russian throne. she's like jewelry. at her court , balls and masquerades seemed to never stop. she surrounded herself with jesters and artists; folk storytellers for the new sovereign were not brought from all over. country, a simple palace scullery maid yushkova for her ability to tell funny stories, anna made her stat with the lady. the kremlin was her home by right; here she created the caring atmosphere of her childhood. the empress's own peace decorated with old books with portraits of her parents, and the kremlin chambers were soon filled with people discharged from monasteries. her ancestral straw workers, orphan girls and survivor grandmothers. anna ioanovna looked for support

in people on whose loyalty she could firmly count. by the very first decree, she was in the hand of the sovereign not for ten years of reign. the next step was the dissolution of the supreme privy council and the restoration of the power of the governing senate. the empress included representatives of the aristocracy in its composition. whom she could trust. that's all but anna understood that even when she was at the pinnacle of power, she remained unprotected in the face. the gruians supported her, but could just as easily have thrown her off the throne. to strengthen her position, anna made a far-sighted move. in contrast to the old preobrazhensky and semenovsky guards regiments, it formed two new ones. icon guard, they were composed of foreigners and nobles of the same palace, owing their position to the personal

empress, the mood of the moscow nobles turned out to be changeable. soon, anna ioanovna faced misunderstanding and gossip in her address, it was rumored that during the years spent in courland, she had become detached from russian life. no matter how much annanna loves. moscow was becoming crowded for her here. finally , she made the decision to move to st. petersburg along with her court and government agencies. by that time, the northern capital had turned into a real backwater. the number of residents has sharply decreased, and the streets laid by peter the first are overgrown with weeds. after st. petersburg returned to capital status, the city began to come to life, buildings damaged by floods were renovated, construction of

new avenues, palaces and cathedrals began. at the same time, the restoration of the baltic fleet, which had fallen into disrepair in recent years, began. by order of anna ioanovna , a naval commission was created in st. petersburg. it included the largest russian naval commanders of their time, comrades-in-arms of peter the great. in her naval duties, the budget assigned to her amounted to a gigantic sum of 1,200,000 rubles at that time. modern sixty-six and seventy-four gun ships were built at the st. petersburg and arkhanel shipyards. by the end of the 16th century, the number of new ships numbered more than one hundred and fifty. in addition, anna approved the naval doctrine of russia and gave orders. although history has established the idea of ​​anna ioannovna’s time as a

dark era, it is largely unfair. it was during her reign that the construction of the empire that peter ii conceived continued. the work of the senate was restored, a commission was created to consider the state of the army, artillery and fortification, adopted measures to reduce taxes on peasants. decrees were issued on the decision of cases by judges in good conscience in accordance with the given oath, as well as on the creation of a new code, that is, a code of laws. a review of states and government institutions began, aimed at streamlining their work, as well as reducing the costs of their maintenance, but the financial system remained imperfect and there was not enough money in the treasury. the authorities had to enforce it. to police measures, up to the arrest of landowners who had arrears or were found to have stolen the collected

money. every saturday the government submitted reports and reports to the empress. anna acted according to her mood, sometimes became picky, tried to delve into the smallest details of state affairs, but more often brushed aside annoying questions. usually , anna delegated the most important decisions to her favorite biron and controlled the activities of the cabinet of ministers. the empress

had enough worries of her own. there are no markets in sri lanka, so all people go to these shops, it’s true that you can be bought without money, and brought money then? of course, that’s the truth, then you need money from the debtors in pincers. pull out, to achieve nirvana, you need to study a lot, and most importantly, communicate. each of us has almost 6 hours a day in our schedule to communicate with people. i don’t have as close heart-to-heart conversations with my friends as i do with monks. i am in the heaven of all designers and stylists. please note that each pebble is sewn on, all embroidery is done by hand. take, for example, a banana

flower and mix it with. guys, this is a rare disgusting thing, oh my god, it’s so spicy, that’s how it is local cuisine, you sit crying, the lives of others, the premiere, tomorrow on the first, old barrerel cognac, a product of the stellar group, if we take it globally, then i think that. nuclear energy, education, medicine, all the elements that made it possible to say that sredmash is a state within a state, imagine, to lead such an industry, not uranus, there is nothing, everything had to be created, what a responsibility it is, he was the owner, he is forest everywhere , he had to know everything everywhere, and

most importantly, you need to be able to make... decisions, you often send people to he will die, this radiation, this is radiation sickness, it’s worth kurchatov, where are you going down, the devil doesn’t know that he was irradiated, very strongly, he believed that the main task of his life, he created a nuclear shield, he completed this task, by 125- anniversary of the legendary minister, jaszym slavsky, titan of the atomic age, premiered on tuesday, on the first. even surrounded by loyal people, she did not feel safe. anna ioanovna knew, according to the will of catherine the first, the throne was now supposed to be occupied by the daughter

of catherine and peter the great, elizabeth. the women were cousins ​​to each other, but each meeting became a test for both. elizabeth was afraid of disgraced exile. anna ianovna, that elizabeth could start a palace coup. and fearing conspiracies, the empress relied on the work of the office of secret and investigative affairs. this body was looking for any threat to her power, and anna ioanovna herself demanded daily reports from its leaders and actively sought to protect the honor of the imperial majesty. a wave swept across the country repression, the intensification of which was falsely

attributed to ernst beron. thus began the reign. all those exiled to siberia under anna ioannovna numbered over 2,000 people, up to a thousand were executed... the far outskirts of the empire, kamchatka, began counting the dead. members of the supreme council, the dolgoruky princes, were arrested and put on trial. emperor peter ivan dolgorukov's friend was driven on the wheel. two of his relatives, including prince vasily, who accompanied anna from mitava, had their heads cut off. anna loved bird hunting from her youth, and now habituated. the empress presented diamond rings, so that there was no end to those who wanted it, the empress herself dealt with

jackdaws and crows as deftly as with her enemies, elegant guns with gold engraving were made especially for her, and when there was a shortage of game in the vicinity of st. petersburg, birds for royal... it seemed that the empress had nothing to complain about, any of her whims was immediately fulfilled, and day after day she spent in amusements and feathers, her affection for him did not fade over the years, but her beloved man did not... could have belonged to her entirely, because he had

a family, legitimate children, once fate almost smiled, the empress, the brother of the portuguese king grabbed. anna, however, the court quickly got rid of the applicant. they handed him a sable fur coat and sent him away in front of the shocked empress . uanna, as if the earth had disappeared from under our feet. easily managing your own lives. subjects, she could not arrange hers, and although the empress could not stop her tears, she

understood that the courtiers were right, she simply did not have the right to be someone’s wife, any marriage with a compatriot would be considered unequal to a foreigner. threatening the interests of the country. within european royal courts, the rules were not so strict. for example, in england , the queen could get married, while her husband was not considered the reigning monarch, but in the traditions of the russian autocracy, such a situation was considered unacceptable. the patricians who took the throne after anna ioannovna, elizabeth and catherine ii, will resolve this issue in their own way. they will secretly marry their lovers, although the children from these marriages

will not have rights to the russian crown. question the issue of succession to the throne was as pressing for anna ioannovna as it had previously been for her uncle, peter the pery. having no legitimate children, she took advantage of peter's decree, according to which. the autocrat had the right to determine his successor himself. the empress's choice amazed everyone. the fact is that the heir appointed by her does not yet exist. in the thirty-second year , anna ioanovna’s elder sister, ekaterina, remained alive. like anna, she was married abroad and was the wife of duke charles leopold of mecklenburg of schwirin. spouses had a daughter who converted to orthodoxy. at the time when the russian empress declared her will, the girl was only 14 years old, nevertheless , her

future son was chosen as the heir to the russian throne, the prediction will come true, the boy will actually be born 8 years later and will receive the name ivan antonovich. everything was going as well as possible. the problem of succession to the throne was resolved, political enemies were neutralized. it seemed that he would rule, the heir. these hopes collapsed overnight, one october 5, 1740, after lunch for anna ioannovna she felt sick, she fell unconscious. when it became clear that anna's days were numbered, she summoned beron to announce her last will; the sovereign did not appoint her... favorite

as regent for little ivan antonovich. beron, as a more experienced and far-sighted politician, tried to challenge this decision. he knew that he was unpopular among the russian nobility and feared that this could lead to a new palace coup, but anna ioanovna insisted on her own. fear not, the regent is the person who exercises the powers. head of state in case of childhood, illness or absence of monarcho. the history of the russian state actually began with the regency. after the death of the first russian prince rurik, the famous prophetic oleg became regent for his minor son igor. igor's wife, princess olga, performed the same function under her son svyatoslav. grand duchess elena glinskaya was regent for her son ivan,

the future ivan. and grand duchess sophia with her brothers, the young tsars, peter and ivan. anna ianovna died on october 17, 1740, at 9:00 pm. beron's fears were justified. within 3 weeks he was arrested. and was accused of seizing the regina, neglecting the health of the empress, wanting to seize the throne and oppressing the russians, beron’s guilt even varied from the fact that he received gifts and awards from the empress, the former favorite was imprisoned, replacing the execution with eternal exile to the siberian city of elym. instead of beron , his mother became regent for the young ivan, but anna leopoldovna did not find him. support neither at

court nor among the people, she was called another german, more and more often they remembered peter’s daughter the great, who had all the rights to the russian throne. fermentation began in st. petersburg, the soldiers turned to each other, it’s not like no one would stand up for elizaveta petrovna, and they scolded the officers for their slowness. on the night of november 25, 1741. elizabeth , accompanied by 308 guards of the grenadier company of the preobrazhensky regiment, entered the winter palace. not a single shot was fired during the coup. no one wanted to shed blood for anna leopoldovna and her ready son, the emperor. so the daughter of peter

the great came to see her. elizabeth, her reign will be durable and will last two decades. the russian empire would face the problem of thrones and history more than once only at the beginning of the 19th century. on november 7, 1944 , the most successful soviet intelligence officer, richard sorge, was executed in the sugama takiya prison, and it still remains a mystery why the sentence was carried out only a year later. and in general, what did the japanese authorities expect, did they hope for the cooperation of the captured intelligence officer, or for his profitable exchange with moscow? why

was the captured resident revered after the war? the japanese as soon as 20 years later, the biography of richard sorgi is a complete blank spot, and what is known is known superficially. stalin considered richard sorgi a double agent and wanted to erase his memory forever; maybe this is the key to the many years of conspiracy of silence that continued after his death. leader, even a film dedicated to zorgi is coming out for the first time after his death, zorgi was recognized by the whole world, only we are idiots, for some reason we doubt it, why, i don’t know. why is this soviet intelligence officer involved? there is still a certain conspiracy of silence. until recently, it was believed that all the interrogation records in sorg were burned in the takiysk prison during a fire

in 1945, but now everything has changed. it turns out that all copies were preserved, and several years ago the japanese declassified them and published them. and we learn something that we were never supposed to know. in the autumn of twenty-four, richard sorgi and his wife christina arrived in the ussr, they were immediately introduced to soviet citizenship and work in the commentern. why. from what the moscow period of the life of the future soviet intelligence officer is practically unknown. well, we knew only a limited part of the truth, let’s say

, yes, because the classification of secrecy in general, you know, how many years, 75, you know, just those 75 years pass. resembles an unsolved puzzle, the keys to which have been lost. let's look for them together. and we will begin our investigation with zorgi’s work as a commentator. russian state archive of social political history. this is where the komentern archive used to be, this is where everything is stored personal files of former comintern members. the case of the future soviet intelligence officer richard sorgi turned out to be. small, a questionnaire filled out in german, a lot of memos and recommendations. member of the komentern since december 15 , 2024. german, son of an engineer, higher education, professor. it would seem that great

prospects were opening up ahead. what made zorgi give up all this and become a professional revolutionary, and then another member of the komentern. i think that the deepest shock he experienced during the first world war, after all, he ended up there completely, well, as a young man, they were 18 years old, and he ended up in such a mess where much older people could not stand it, in the battle of verdun he was seriously wounded, he lay for 3 days on the battlefield with the killed feet, waiting for help, only miraculously remained alive, in the hospital with him about another very important event that finally decided his future fate. richard learned that it turned out that there was a marxist in their respectable family. great-uncle was the creator of the first

international, a very good friend of karl marx. axist ideas, so when he heard the name sorgi, he asked with excitement whether he was related to friedrich adolf sorgi, a close friend of marx and engels. this is how the young man first learned about his marxist grandfather in their bourgeois home; they never mentioned him, considering him an outcast. zorgi's father was a german engineer, an oil worker, who at the age of 3 , iku, as his parents called him, kuzorgi, was taken to germany. and he had a wonderful time. a good childhood, as he writes in his memoirs, he says that i was not good at anything needed, neither financially nor economically, everything came together in the fate of the future soviet intelligence officer, both love for russia and grandfather

a marxist and war. after demobilization, sorgi entered the university of kiel, almost simultaneously becoming a member of the kpd, the communist party of germany. in the lists of several hundred participants of the congress, richard sorgi, the only doctor of sciences. it was then that the leaders of the comintern drew attention to him and invited him to moscow. zorgi immediately agreed. he really believed in the idea of ​​communism. he really believed it. hence the worker. zorgi came to make a world revolution, found himself in an institution, an institution that sent employees to work on a collective farm, which had its own pig farm, in order to live a little in the locality, so to speak. he understood perfectly well that this organization was no different in any way, freedom was practically guaranteed, a huge number of papers that he wrote,

complaints, requests were preserved; from zorgi’s personal file, much becomes clear about that period of his work in the komentern. well, here, for example, is one of his memos. i strongly appeal to asking you to consider the possibility of sending me to any other work where i could bring maximum... benefit to our common cause, i ask you to send me to the forefront of the world revolution, richard sorge. he sent this memo personally to joseph pyatnitsky, the man who invited him to work at komentarn. he still respected zorgai and transferred him to the international communications department. and this was essentially an intelligence commentator. it is clear that orientation. is still kept top secret. the only meager mention of

period of zorgi’s work from 27 to 29, this is a non-disclosure agreement written in his hand. there are no further mentions in his personal file. when zorgi was in berlin, he had a meeting that turned out to be fateful. he was allegedly introduced by chance to a resident of soviet military intelligence in western europe. in fact , this meeting was organized by his ex-wife, who at that time already lived in germany, but continued to cooperate with soviet intelligence, and decided to give her richard such a farewell gift, she to the resident in berlin basov she said that this and that, here is my gorgeous ex-husband, he is generally a golden man for you, such a charmer and all that, to berzin, specifically a letter that there is such a person, we need to attract him, and he is, as it were, on the border, not reaching moscow , had already been hired by military intelligence. in soviet intelligence

of that period there was a severe shortage of personnel, so the best workers were actively lured there from foreign employees of the comintern; the recommendation of zorgi’s ex-wife was enough to immediately offer him a job in shanghai. he wasn't a legend was not developed in any way, studies were interrupted, where it was necessary to urgently send someone, but there was no one to send except zorgi. zorgi arrived in shanghai in the spring of 1930 with the task of creating a soviet intelligence network. china in the thirties was a place where the economic and political interests of many countries intersected and

met. the journalistic cover turned out to be so excellent that it not only did not arouse suspicion, but made it possible to travel throughout the country, gathering representatives of the british, american press, discussed, exchanged, and of course, a person, he was extremely charming and an excellent drinking companion, so it is not surprising that many were not averse to spending time with him in the company, and he was happy to maintain such contacts, in general, he was on board, he quite strange in appearance, he is ugly, but everyone says that he was a damn charming person, he made people fall in love with himself, he, excuse me, he fell in love... both men and women, they loved him, they were drawn to him, they admired him ,

they asked him for advice, one day while sitting in restaurant, in the company of his friends, journalists, zorgi suddenly had to promote his ideas somehow more energetically and act not only ideologically, but if necessary, then with the help of weapons, what he had in mind, i don’t know, but in in any case, this phrase... came across, it means, to one of those who were nearby, listened, it was transferred to moscow, and everyone there was in shock, especially his most important curator - stalin, who even intermittently, in general, the leader did not trust the intelligence officers foreigners, but apart from the riotous lifestyle that the new resident led, i can’t find fault with there was no need, intelligence officer zorgi carried out his main job recklessly, and no one could even... imagine that a soviet resident could behave this way, but in just

a year and a half he established a stable flow of information and created a network of more than... .man, you look, the carnival cancels all social rules, he does not know prejudices, wearing a carnival costume , everyone can feel themselves in a role that is impossible for him in everyday life, this is the time for the fulfillment of secret desires, carnival for me is therapy, my psychoanalyst's name is carnival, there is no carnival... no social differences, life is so complicated, we have no reason to celebrate at all, but suddenly carnival comes, people start dancing samba, it's so wonderful, living the carnival

in rio, matador, fever in rio, on friday at the first, when you leave the sambodrome, it’s crazy, it seems like your blood is boiling in your veins , whiskey, mencatcher, product of the stellar group, what kind of idiot even wrote this letter, and how cool and cool kostya kinche is, they really could have imprisoned him, because rock musicians imprisoned, if roman kostamarov were not a famous legendary athlete, you would have fought for him in exactly the same volume, any celebrity getting into the show will end up on the same bed, on the same ekmo car, on the same apparatus, and we don’t have some kind of division, consideration of the case of kamil and valieva, of course, they want geniuses like her, because she is truly a genius, they want this to be born in their countries, because if we have it in our country, we will always defeat them, any person who wants

to adequately assess the present, of course you must know history, now they don’t ask, were you the one who flew into space, now they say it was you who filmed the film challenge? but it’s different for me, they tell me, well, it was you who flew with yulia, i say, no , it’s strange, it looks like it, he says, she flew with me, i know that you recently had a very difficult accident, i flew over the back seat forward, i have a concussion, a man got into a traffic accident at a speed of 110, he didn’t brake at all, podcast lab is with you all night, i’m now returning home. and thought thought about life, don’t say anything, but life is wiser than all of us living and wise, hello, you love me, and if you love me, you must obey me, you will obey, yes, temperamental people live in this house, look, oh, shadow theater, well, at least he thought about his father, and you think about him, the man needs to be intimidated, or

demoted, yeah, this night will end in the police, i feel it, good evening! i said, what's the matter? nina, great joy. listen, brother, where have you been? i can’t look at you, i just want to cry. you won't stand on ceremony with me about this, i don't you need. rubbish, get out. well, in general, i’m glad that i came to you, but i don’t want to be my brother anymore. what kind of wonderful people are you? eldest son. zorgi traveled tens of thousands of kilometers across china, he made very good connections with a variety of people, with the general staff, with his private informants. over the course of 3 years working in china, zorgi transmitted about

600 reports to the center, 250 of which were reported personally to stalin. the effectiveness of his work was obvious. it seemed that management should only hold on to such a resident with both hands, but for some reason he is urgently recalled to moscow, officially, allegedly for another violation of discipline. zorgi himself never mentions the real reason. another resident was sent there; he left for moscow this year. 1933, the very beginning of purges and arrests. in soviet intelligence, how did it happen that zorgi, who was recalled to moscow for violating discipline and conspiracy, avoided arrest and received a new appointment. i think that the decisive factor was his german origin and extensive connections in the german
