this crimean plan was, in fact, part of a more extensive greek project, but if the crimean project was a pragmatic and well-developed, clearly developed project, then as for the greek project, and there was a lot planned there, to expel the turks from europe, to free christians from muslim influence in general, to plant a greek empire and...

finally potemkin summed up that the black sea is on the border of russia. well, in short, potemkin's arguments convinced catherine. it is also worth adding that the main the enemy of russia in foreign policy at that time remained france, which relied on that eastern barrier you already mentioned, which was sweden in the north, the polish-lithuanian commonwealth in the west, and in the south - perhaps the main part of this eastern. this is the ottoman empire with the crimean khanate, a vassal to it, and france could overthrow this eastern barrier with its allies either against austria in the event of some problems with austria, or, accordingly, against russia. louis x generally put it this way, we must to drive the russians into the same forests and swamps from which they had so recklessly emerged, that is, up until this point. and turkey was the main part of this barrier, the crimean khanate such a spearhead, especially since it is necessary. to understand that

the crimean khanate is not only pure crimea, yes, it is also the neighboring tauride regions, which later became the tauride province, and this is often plus the nogai horde, so the threat was quite strong, it was very important that we should come into direct contact with the turks, because behind the crimean khanate it is not visible that the turks are doing there, yes, what can they maneuver there, can overtake the fleet, yes, what russia, this is also often forgotten, was...

also as a result of such free colonization, and potemkin, being a very far-sighted politician in this regard, he stimulated it, because there were not only forced resettlements of peasants, but for example, when... over the course of 17 years, only here there are statistics, in the first 14 years 600,000 residents arrived, that is, about 43 thousand people per year, at that time the figures, these are gigantic figures, the figures huge, and it's not just that people just came to an open field, yes, it was necessary to accordingly facilitate the creation

of infrastructure, it was necessary to resettle, yes, it was necessary to allocate appropriate areas for resettlement, and this is being done, if we take the figure for all 17 years of it, then the figure will be no less than... 700 thousand yes, that is, these figures are really very large, and of course, the very fact of this number of those arriving, the arriving population, in itself refutes the myth of potemkin villages, there was simply no need to build them, yes of course, so many people arrived, cities were founded, cities do not arise in the dark, kherson, yekaterinoslav, alexandrov, berislav, nikolaev, pavlograd, constantinograd, melitopol, mariupol and a little on the other side, yes nakhichev. this was under the management of this region by potemkin, with his direct participation. count segur, who accompanied the empress during this famous journey in 1787, describes: "we saw an almost finished fortress and barracks for 80 thousand people, admiral-tests with all the accessories,

an arsenal containing up to 600 guns, two warships, one frigate ready for launching, public buildings erected in various places, several churches of beautiful architecture, finally. houses and shops full of greek, constantinople and french goods, in the kherson harbor stood up to 200 merchant ships, in nikolaev, which was laid down in 1789, after 3 years already 3,300 souls of the population, although at the beginning 147 inhabitants, that is, these figures, dry, dry statistics, give an idea of ​​the pace of development of the region, about the importance that catherine herself , potemkin himself, attached to this. region and at the same time it gives an idea of ​​the enormous energy of the russian people, there is often this myth, yes, the laziness of the russian people, this vanka on the stove there and so on, it was a huge movement of people to develop new territories, when deserted areas

are developed, against this background, you cited all these facts and figures, they really make an impression, all these sounds completely ridiculous...

just catherine during her trip to crimea, reported to london, again he reported to london, he wrote what he saw, and not what i don’t know, there he wanted something to be presented there, a diplomat is obliged to report accurately, so he wrote to london, the empress is extremely pleased with the situation of these provinces, the well-being of which is truly amazing, because a few years ago there was a complete desert here, and 5 years before the trip...

i found a contented village, mostly with abundant waters, which belongs to kherson itself, then imagine the multitude of all sorts hour of multiplying stone buildings, a fortress. it is obvious that potemkin, well, there was no reason at all to create some more sham, what he actually built was enough. here are a few more words about the events. russia's problems are fugitives. potemkin, for example, stated that fugitives should be accepted in the tauride province, and his argument was that otherwise they would flee to poland, well, that's right. that's right, and especially since potemkin is here, well,

you can fantasize, yes, assume that in this way, social tension from central russia, about foreign colonists, we all know about the influx of foreigners under peter i, yes, the second massive influx was catherine ii, not anna ivanovna, when, according to klyuchevsky, the germans poured into russia like rubbish from a leaky bag, this aphorism of klyuchevsky is quite reliable in this case, this resettlement policy that was supported by potemkin, it is interesting to note, maybe you and i will take this topic someday: information wars, yes, because, here are the first ones actually speaking, the information attacks from western europe on peter the great began with exactly the same thing, with announcements about inviting foreign specialists. and against this they used information, so to speak, attacks,

every time it happened, the same thing, this was under catherine, yes, well, in conclusion, we can say the following, of course, potemkin-taurian with this myth about potemkin villages was extremely unlucky, it stuck to his name, but in the end, in general, there is a lot of talk about historical figures. yes, we now understand this perfectly well. and thanks to both potemkin and catherine, for the fact

that, as patemkin wrote, the borders of russia are the black sea. thanks for drawing the border there. at the very end, it is worth saying so that we do not end up with such a completely gilded figure. a personality that is certainly contradictory. of course. this also applies to the ability to intrigue, and not always honestly. well, although how can you honestly intrigue, yes, this is axumaron. he did not like to pay debts, although he was the richest man, but he did not like to pay debts , he got very angry when he was reminded of them. sin widespread, yes, very, to catherine, also treated, especially in the beginning, more like a man, she was even forced to justify herself to him that she did not accept his feelings earlier. in general, there is much more that could be discussed, but we concentrated on that part of potemkin's legacy that just refutes. the myths spread about him, based on, what is also important to say, the latest research, which, fortunately, is being published,

i think, will continue to be published in the future. it was a historical podcast russia-west on the swings of history, we talked today about the most serene prince potemkin. with you was peter romanov. and sergei solovyov, study history with us. all episodes of the podcast russia west on the swings of history can be viewed on the website of the first channel, i am larisa guzeeva, this is let's get married, good afternoon, today the brides are polina, rita and lydia, and our groom is dmitry, dmitry is 38 years old, when he realized that in relationships with women it is not enough to be guided only by the hunting instinct, he came to look for a wife on the program, let's let's get married. the businessman lives in samara, enjoys volleyball, tennis , swimming, dreams of becoming a father of many children,

warns that he goes to bed no later than 10:00 pm and goes to the bathhouse once a week. dmitry does not see himself in marriage with a wealthy businessman and will not be able to get along with a desperate housewife. his ideal wife should have a down-to-earth profession, take care of her health, dream of children and be loyal to his meetings with friends. hello, guys, glad to see you, hello, the groom is interesting, but age 38 years old, he has a lot to say. probably smart and responsible at that age, i don't know, i like his chosen eyebrow, we want to give you some flowers, thank you, look at these beautiful bouquets, they're just so big, oh my god, they're heavy, yes, oh, the smell, they smell like, and what beauty he's attentive, yes, yes, that's

cool, his friend is also, by the way, cute, dmitry, is it an instinct - until i was 38 i kind of lived a more dissolute life, and i didn't have any more serious intentions towards women, i never fell in love, it seemed that fell in love, but it happened once, because it mostly affected my activity, the promotion of my work, that is, new acquaintances, new people in order to grow higher, to earn more, i have a lot of friends your age. as strange as it may seem, many, you know, have a problem, they cannot find a good woman, a young one, because all of them have a very stormy past, and no matter how hard a man tries to seem so advanced, modern and say that it was before me, so it does not concern me, it turns out that, as for, everyone wants purity, everyone wants sincerity, everyone wants something beautiful,

good, kind, bright for life, in general it is somewhat strange that a man has not been married for 8 years until he is thirty, has no children and has not had a serious relationship, is he ready for them in principle in this life, and what is your reason, you had a huge, huge number of women and you did not value any of them and some were just for a day, well yes, that was exactly how it was, because it was connected again with my business trips, with my travel, you ask not with any business trips travel. they bring and then live until old age, until death, so something is different with you, until you answer yourself, what is the reason, why you are 38 years old, a healthy man, what bothered you, why does not fall in love, because it is unnatural, basically all the girls needed help, i could not do it, today i can be in the vladimir region, tomorrow in the omsk region,

no, because when you meet that one and only, you quickly stop with business trips, with trips, well, it depends on the situation again, who of all those you had was the most unapproachable, so to speak, object. that's who you were killing yourself in front of, or there were none, well, in general, i'm killing myself in front of all women, because for several hours, of course, yes, but i don't even remember these moments, but it was, probably, most likely it wasn't, but so, probably everything happened right away , we met and yes, somehow more fleetingly, that one who flew to you in samara, well

, i realized, the next day, that it's not my thing, why is it not interesting to continue any kind of... with her who takes care of her health, without congenital pathologies, with creative thinking, should play sports, a woman must be ready to move, a down-to-earth profession, pumped up lips, breasts - this is all completely out of place, did i understand correctly, here are lips without a pipe, like a tit, eyelashes without a rake, breasts not the fourth size,

he loves a girl who can sing with a pleasant voice, it is important that the girl cooks well, if she cooks well, then this... his mother taught him to enter into a relationship with an educated girl, with whom it will be interesting to talk, but she should not be a nerd, otherwise he will get bored, then, without warts, will not get involved with a fat girl, rejection of mercantile people, obsessed only with money, will not be able to build a family with a girl who goes dancing, pole dancing, to high hills, does not welcome desperate housewives, and i'm already tired of reading, and what can you tell me, please, what from this, so to speak, confused you? well, it seems to me everything is correct, but where can i find one like that, natural, beautiful, somewhere else took, well, you can't argue with him, actually, he treats women as consumers, she... should be like this, like that, of such and such parameters, well, in my opinion , the main thing is not appearance, but the main thing is soul, mind, wisdom, what a woman is,

well, at least in my youth at school, some girls blew my mind, they lost their heads, do you remember someone, i don't know, no, i don't remember, because i was mostly busy with sports, i did a lot of sports, volleyball, boxing, i came to school to finish my studies. the lesson ended, that's it, again gym. dvitri, well if you don't know what love is and even strong infatuation, maybe i'm pulling it out, maybe it won't happen anymore, maybe there's some kind of trauma that needs to be worked through with a professional, maybe you remember something, there was no trauma as such, no, but how is that, everything is fine with you before sex, and after there's a complete rejection, what is that, yes, yes, there is such a thing, but it's not good, maybe you should see a doctor, no, huh? all this, how do you explain it to yourself? yes, it's all explainable, it takes time for communication, for talk, you just pull, fast in this

sense, talk enough, find out all these things from her, and then look, maybe she will hook you, that's it, i understand, i think, because everything is very accessible at arm's length, but i don't have time, you quickly switch to informal, as they say, there is such a thing, yes, but do you want to fall in love? well, he was looking for this path of such girls, why not, he had such a way of life, he just hadn't met good girls yet, well, what can i say about dmitry, dmitry, you've become spoiled, as they say, that's it, yes, that's all accessible this, the girls have also gone crazy, today i want to make such an innovative proposal, so, girls, we declare a boycott, an intimate. experiment, let's try, from such a groom, actually, and why are you

laughing, ha-ha-ha-ha, and then you see, and you yourself are sitting here telling us horror stories, i won't, i have another question, tell me who your friend is, and i'll tell you who you are, pavel, are you married, no, and do you have the same problem, i have no problems at all, i just haven't met mine yet do you want to participate today? how i forgot that we have gathered here, this is what they say, in our, this, matchmaking, yes, so let's also, as they say, add you to our merry company, maybe in the end we will have just two couples, the groom in general, but i think that he and i will not suit each other, here is a friend, i would like to talk to him, you cannot rewind time back and become a teenager again, look with admiration and for whom the girl would be. such a romantic person, to achieve, walk and so on, you are 38 years old, you are already overripe, you understand everything about yourself, so either you will remain as you are now, someone will accidentally get pregnant from you, and

you will accept it, or you will be a bachelor until the end of time, nothing happens, dmitry by the command of the senses, no program will help you, no one, you just need to change the angle of view on the girl, you do not respect women, everything comes from this. i have no more money and he knows about it, so wait, you have another million, you have not sold a kidney yet, why do you need him, the money was given to him personally, he got 2 million in hand, i am one of these, i am just another victim, whom he cheated out of money, i let this situation go, if i have the opportunity to make this person feel bad, yes... with great pleasure, for the first time in her life she stole money from my account, i know my own mother very well and i know when she lies, she said: either you sue your friend, or i don’t have a mother anymore? well, how

can i sue a friend? premiere, manipulators on saturday on the first, if a man asks you for money, run away from him. come in and meet the first bride. hi, dmitry, my name is polina, and it turns out we've been so close all this time, i hope we'll get even closer, yes, we'll pass, carefully. polina, 29, senior administrator at a massage parlor, lives in samara, makes spontaneous purchases, slams the car door, uses

food delivery, is proud that... on a trip to thailand, dreams of gaining weight, buying a cameroon goat, admits that she kicks at night. polina herself didn't notice how found herself in the arms of her chosen one's friend, but male solidarity did not allow him to continue a relationship with her. she hopes that dmitry will understand her. the bride is very beautiful, cool, young, has a great figure. what does a cameroon goat look like? she is so small. so cute, we don't need dogs anymore, we already have goats, well , i really want to, yes, i really like her, and tell us about your love triangle, the guy knew that you were in a relationship with his friend, and how did it all start, how did it start, well, we started dating a guy, so his friend came and somehow a spark flared up between us, we both felt it, but i didn’t show any sign that he could flirt with me there, make advances towards me, in the end he started

writing to me: i wouldn’t say that i reciprocated, well, politely, well, why, you also told him that he was handsome, that he had delicious perfume, well, yes, but i think it’s just a sign of attention, and why not, well, i don’t know, if you have a relationship with a guy, is it appropriate or not, well, to say that the perfume is good, i think it’s appropriate, that’s what i i treat my friends, for example, categorically, especially if i respect my boyfriend, i would never in my life disgrace him like that, and you know what... they don't gossip, just like us, and they tell each other, if he is in a relationship, he could share, at the very least , yes, of course, that happened, my boyfriend at that time, came to him in another city, the conversation turned to the fact that he communicates with me, and that is, he told him, how can she with you, well, meet in a relationship, if she openly flirts with me, showed him, probably, your correspondence, yes, after that we had a conversation with him, i naturally said that there was nothing serious in it, everything

was just going on in a friendly way. somewhere a week maximum i see a photo of my boyfriend at that time with a girl, where they are kissing, well at that moment we kind of broke up like that, and i started communicating with this friend we went to visit him, he invited, yes, yes, of course, he invited, good friends, the right ones, and you had a good time there, yes, we had a good time, but why with they didn't stay with him, it seems to me we had some kind of game we were just... interested in this moment, but something serious, it seems to me, we weren't expecting each other, your boyfriend found out about it, of course, of course, he found out everything, called me all sorts of names, naturally, then after a while he still tried to communicate with me, i say, well, what's the point, in my opinion, everything has already been decided, it's her life, she has the right to do what she wants, let her date whoever she wants, even a friend, even a married man, but why you want to gain weight, it seems like this, well,

standard, now everyone is like this. well, i wanted to lose 2-3 kg, well, for the ideal, everyone has their own ideal idea, for me, for the ideal, and what, do you eat poorly or are you sick, on the contrary , i eat a lot, well, it's just that my body structure, my mother is thin, my grandmother is probably a daboism , no, well, with such thinness, and he wants to be a father of many children, she is not thin, look at her bones, she has a small butt, it's nothing, she will gain weight , nothing to worry about after the first, the only thing is very good, you are both lucky samara. and by the way, you are not a married girl, no, here we have, look, here we have pavel, nice to meet you, also good, and do you have children, no, oh, look, and no children, good, how is that, polina, if you go back to samara together, control yourself, good, let him wait at least a month or two, now show him a surprise, good, you can prepare, prepare, good, come on, beauty, good luck, i think, with such a figure to dance,
