one of them played on red cloth on burgundy cloth, but here is also money, chips, we also have beautiful lorzes with chips, these are also accessories so that the money does not flash, yes, so that yes, so that these stacks of banknotes of gold coins can be replaced with such modest chips, well, like in modern casinos, yes, yes, because this is also an art object. and we had, of course, famous swordsmen, here we return to our, again favorite, count fyodor ivanovich tolstoy, an american, here he is, our handsome man, he has a story absolutely wonderful, yes vyacheslav, in general such, he has many wonderful stories, yes, he was exiled to kamchatka, returned as an olliut , very dishonest, to which he, according to legend again, yes, stood up and said that he...

quite a bit of originality, well, a briter and a duellist, who had 11 duels and 11 children who died of his, and he noted that we were even, but a man of course remarkable, a man who knew how, as he himself said, to correct the mistakes of fortune, that is, he played an unfair game, so he immediately warned his friends, that you don't sit down to play cards with me, because for me in this duel there are no close ones, no friends. i can

beat you for sure, that's why here is such a remarkable person, who really lived a bright, interesting, albeit such a disorderly life. let's go back to our cards, so, we also had cards, well, for different purposes, yes, there were year cards, in the 18th century i saw cards, it's wonderful there, when you lay them out and read them later, it means what awaits you, such wonderful...

who predicted both marie antoinette and her, therefore, unhappy future, here are the cards, lenormand we show simply, well as such, as if by them she seemed to read destinies, but they say that besides this she also had other methods - to feel the future, here is maratuser with anjust, therefore she also told napoleon that shameful exile loneliness and painful death, but the most interesting thing for us is that they got to see her...

but we know that gribanov turned to maria fedna, to the widowed the empress with a request to provide financial assistance, she provided it, and thanks to this they just came out in the twenty-thirties during this period, that is, thanks to her, but we

know that the imperial family generally held a monopoly on the production of cards, not the family, but the state, in 1819 the first factory in russia was founded, it was a factory for the production of playing cards, it was called the alexandrovskaya manufactory, it produced paper, it produced playing cards, orphanages, which would later relate to the department of empress maria, the wife of the murdered paul i, so they received income from the sale of cards from branding, and this income was state, it was not the income of the imperial family.

accordingly, until the overthrow of the romanov dynasty, well, for us , this pelican really remained on the ace of diamonds, although this inscription then disappeared, but accordingly, here as a memory of this, therefore the state, it always treats very reverently those areas where you can get some income headed a certain family.

that it depicts famous people of ours, that is, not only the imperial family, but close relatives in costumes of the famous russian ball of 1903, but this costume ball really made a huge impression, photographs of this event have been preserved, yes, a german company developed sketches, the cards were also printed at a state-owned russian factory that produced playing cards, many of us had such decks, here is the king of hearts - this is, in fact, nicholas ii. this is

grand duke mikhail alexandrovich, considered the last emperor of all russia, queen of clubs, grand duchess elizabeth feodorovna, queen of spades. a magnificent woman, zenaida nikolaevna, princess iusupova, countess, samorokova elston, now i would like to note to all of us that when we take a deck, some kind of card deck, to understand who we are playing, i would like to say, and if it were not for them, then there would be no us, our story about them, it was a podcast precious history, and today with the doctor of history sciences vyacheslav we told you... the history of card games and the people who took part in them.

hello, dear friends, this is the podcast life of the remarkable. i am with you, its lead writer alexey varlamov, my great-granddaughter is visiting me today and...

absolutely without getting tired, because it was quite a difficult job and we read letters, old correspondence of tatyana lvovna, her grandmother, her mother, i translated marta into english, marta made notes in italian, in the evening she came, in the evening she came home, yes, translated into french, and this went on for many weeks in a row, then marta came home and wrote a book, and we admired martina's efficiency and the fact that marta always says: everything is wonderful. everything is wonderful, everything is great, marta, are you tired? no, no, why am i tired? and i must say that

the french edition came out several years ago, now the russian edition has come out, we were just in yasnaya polyana, where marta performed at the tolstoy festival, there was a presentation at the moscow tolstoy museum, and i know what it's like to perform a presentation in front of audience, when they ask questions, you speak for an hour and a half, then there is a line of 40 people to sign books, with each one you have to... "martha, are you tired, no, no, why not, come on, of course, come on, martha is amazing, just, just wonderful, no merit, i'm just like that. and latin blood, this, i think, is an explosive mixture, how has your life changed since you?

it is very important for us now that this wonderful generation, the generation of great-grandchildren,

who remember very well their parents, tolstoy's grandchildren, those who were born in yasnaya polyana, who still remembered childhood in yasnaya polyana, to collect their memories, so that their impressions of previous generations somehow remain with us, i want to say that this work of marta, it is very important, because... this is not a scientific book, it is a very emotional story about the fate of a family against the backdrop of the fate of the country, and about the great love for russia. this book reminded me of something, such a bestseller by pavel.

as a member of the family and we criticized lev nikolaevich a little from a female point of view, yes, that he was wrong, yes, but this is very interestingly, it seems to me that i hear from

foreign fat people, when they talk to olva nikolaevich more freely, i mean, in the sense of like about grandfather, great-grandfather and so on, they don’t have this aspiration like we do, it seems to me that we have a figure, starting from school, here. scale, i can’t imagine myself next to him simply as a human being, here for foreign fat people, i just really value their such, such a family attitude towards lev nikolaevich, here i remember how my grandfather’s sister came, granddaughter, aunt vera, vera tolstoy and said, well , grandpa, how could he, he grandma, he that is.

on the maison donc si vous voulez il parte des i'ai quatre mètres de de livres

sur de et par.

i do it under tchaikovsky, well, i'm really terribly pleased that you name all these names, that's how it seems to you, you said, we live in 2024, that you can't argue with what is leo tolstoy today, in our agitated, our crazy, unhappy world, that's what he means today? he is a cultural center, he is tolstoy

naturellement, it is translated into all languages, there is a cultural center, you say, it is always a new experience. all the time new, now people are somehow absent-minded.

life changes so quickly, but i talk too much, no, you speak wonderfully, it's just that i really listen to you, you, fekla, somehow sometimes even forget that you have a relationship with tolstoy, you are so simple, accessible people, i don't know what he was like in communication, they say that he was also a very simple person, many different memories have been preserved, but you are right, of course, and the colossus of a father and a man, what was instilled in us at school, is a mirror of the russian revolution.

i need to know who chose football, who chose tennis, in general it does not matter, but this is our life, and i am not ashamed, well, that's how it is, lev nikolaevich coincided with the heyday, or rather with

the beginning of the heyday of the era of cinema, we know that many of his works were filmed many times, even anna karenina, what is your attitude to cinema , italian ones?

grandmother and mother were centuryarians, that's them i was also generally pushed towards all this, but i'm not a vekatorian, and i also love sweets, i love sweets and the last question, what do you think, should one always be frank or not, but it just burst out of you without thinking, ugh.
