peter i went down in history not as peter the great, but as peter the antichrist, this is, of course,om peter saw this antiquity, especially since the streltsy, streltsy rebellion, this very one that gave rise to peter’s emotions and which later, as many historians believe, cost him a nervous tic and fits of rage when he saw how matveev, his confidant, and his mother, peter ii, of course, were dealt with before his eyes however, as one can recall lenin’s quotation here, yes, i’m exaggerating, but nevertheless , he somewhat reformed a barbaric country using barbaric methods, the methods were extremely cruel, and this cruelty was also established from the very beginning, this is that part of peter’s reign that was neither by no means necessary to forget, because there is such a cult image of peter i, there is a second one, this shadow peter, which we should also remember, it’s generally curious, because we have a very such attitude towards german freedom, well , some kind of foreigners there.. ... the image there is all these sprees of his in german freedom, he studied and walked, altho

peter ii., ruthless modernization of russia and could not help but see the obvious discontent of part of the clergy, its transformation. peter, to put it bluntly, did not trust the representatives of the clergy too much and categorically did not allow the independence of the church in the state. at in this, of course, he was well aware and appreciated the role of the church itself. but peter wanted to exclude using the church. for the good of the fatherland. the priest was made a servant of state power and had to put the interests of the state above church rules. spiritual fathers were now charged with the duty of reporting on persons who admitted in confession to evil intent against the tsar. the priests were obliged to ensure that parishioners attended church on holidays on sundays on the birthdays of the tsar and tsarina on the day of poltava. victory in the new year. in the opinion of a huge part of russian society of that time, peter’s reforms completely distorted the holy antiquity and tu

, peter is very careful, peter, in the period after narvo, here, by the way, there is an interestingagine what would have happened if charles 12. had not gone to poland after august, yes, but had turned immediately after poltava to finish off peter, it is quite possible that history could have gone a different way. charles xxi made a fundamental strategic mistake, and peter ii, using the strategy of a small war , the strategy of attrition, beats swedish troops in the niva region, in livonia, gradually recaptures the cities, then recaptures narva itself without the noise with which his defeat was associated, so in the same way, with the help strategy... exhaustion slowly, with the help of the strategy of squeezing out the land, he forces, in fact, karladets to depend on the convoys and will eventually go to mazepa, although the story with mazepa is for himself. was a surprise, mazepa already demonstrated loyalty in this sense, unlike many previous hetmans, but these are details , he never followed the strategy of crushing the enemy, he was a very careful commander, a fairly cautious r

even got rid of foreign advisers, because after peter, after peter they leveled off, leveled off, nors was already rising, of course, the industry is irrelevant, because so much was built, well, one example, if iron was exported before peter, then after peter it could have been imported. on the contrary, or rather on the contrary, the quality is no worse, and why even better than from abroad, the same with weapons, and this is a matter of national security, they purchased weapons in huge quantities, practically stopped purchasing them, that is, some types were still purchased, but in general they switched over to their own production, failure , of course, this is agriculture, because the country was so depleted , the village was bled dry, so here, of course, to take a step forward, well, since we took a step in the industrial area there, let’s say, it was simply impossible, we continue to deal with the petrovskys reforms, in a historical podcast, russia and the west on the seesaw of history, you said, in general, peter understood perfectly well that war requires money, money and mone

ii went down in history not as peter the great , but like peter.w how matveev, his confidant, and his mother, peter ii, were dealt with before his eyes, of course, as you can remember lenin’s quote here, yes. i’m exaggerating, but nevertheless, i somewhat reformed a barbaric country using barbaric methods, the methods were extremely cruel, this cruelty was established from the very beginning, this is that part of peter’s reign that should in no case be forgotten, because there is such iconic the image of peter i, there is a second one, this shadow peter, who we must also remember, it’s generally curious, because we have a very similar attitude towards german freedom, well , some foreigners there, something like the word germans , we’re not... all these sprees of his in the german settlement, he studied and walked, although this is actually for a person, this is also a kind of education, it shapes, so to speak , in general peter of course, well, according to today, you can call him a techie, he was primarily interested , back in preobrazhenskoe he t

peter, we ask for his prayers.oday our fatherland has entered a difficult time, a time of trials, the enemy of the family human, but the enemy of russia has brought the state of affairs to such a nightmare that again brother raises enmity against brother, organic unified ties between the north and south of russia, between the modern russian federation and ukraine, but how can one not grieve about this and ask the lord to stop it madness, to stop this hostility, so that again, with one mouth, one heart, we, as one people, can. the most blessed name of god and the saints, one of whom is the most important for all of us is st. peter, metropolitan of kiev, moscow of all rus'. through his prayers, we will once again ask that our russian land be preserved in unity , in spiritual strength, in like-mindedness, so that our church can overcome the schisms and divisions generated by political differences of opinion and conflicts, and so that our people can once again unite at the shrines of moscow , at the shrines of kiev, br

according to the style given by peter i.deceived , a book catches your eye, peter the great introduced this font into use and cut out the letters himself, you begin to read it, this language became written, literary under peter i. supplanted the former church one, they bring newspapers, peter the great started them, you need to buy different things, all of them , from a silk sewing scarf to a shoe sole, will remind you of peter the great. which still boggles the mind to this day, right? let's talk about why this happened. in what form did peter take over the country? to at the end of the 16th century, russia was one of the most. large countries in the world, although the empire will be officially proclaimed only in 1721 , the process of its formation, of course, began earlier in the 16th century, and russia of the 16th century is a huge multinational state with different status of territories, status of different population groups. at the same time, this huge country had a very low population density. at the beginning of the

even got rid of foreign advisers, because it was after peter, after peter, salaries were leveled, no of russian officers was already rising, of course, industry is irrelevant, because so much was built, well, one example, if iron was exported before peter, then after peter it could have been imported, on the contrary, well, more accurately on the contrary, yes, the quality is no worse, and the honor is even better, and than foreign ones, the same with weapons, and this is... a matter of national security, they purchased weapons in huge quantities, under peter they practically stopped purchasing, that is, some types of other things something was purchased, but in general they switched to their own production, a failure, of course , this was agriculture, because the country was so exhausted, the village was drained of blood, so here, of course , we should take a step forward, well, as i will take a step... there is industry in the region, it was simply impossible, we we continue to deal with peter’s reforms, in the historical podcast russia and the west on the swings of history, you sa

our guest expert today is peter ford, has extensive. experience as a british diplomat, working in beirout, cairo, riyad, singapore and paris. he was the british ambassador to bahrain from 1999 to 2003, and then syria from 2003 to 2006, and between 2006 and 2015, he was the representative of the commissioner general of the united nations relief and works agency for palestine refugees based in jordan. and today he joins us via skype. welcome to the show. david, is it true? the only state leader to raise the question of palestine uh at the assembly was uh president raisi of iran. well, he was the only one to uh to significantly discuss the question of palestine. president did mention palestine in quite a good way, contrast the way in which the international community dealt with question of ukraine, with the question of palestine, but he was the only one who who dealt with it in any significant way, and uh, that's an indication, isn't it, we've seen this before, that iran is the is the state which is most supportive of the palestinian resistance, both in terms of rhetoric at the united nation

well, peter, i mean, what did you make of gilad erden's protest at the un during rc's speech? well, the israelis make a career out of victimhood, and this going back many many years, having milked the whole course for all it's worth, although they continued. to try to extract some more mileage from there, um, they've fallen back on demonizing their neighbors, well that doesn't work anymore, they clearly in total control of the regional situation as regards the palestinians, as regards their former enemies, egypt and syria, and as regards the outer circle of potential arab enemies, clearly. israel faces no threat and therefore they must play up the the one remaining potential threat from iran and i think that's what the the theater was all about in in new york. well, david, i mean erden's comments about standing by the people of iran were perhaps more revealing than he intended on on israel's subversion of wasn't it? yes, so we know of course that the uh recent uh riots and unrest in iran has been uh fermented largely from outside from the us by the uk and also of course by isr

[000:00:00;00] we continue to deal with peter's reforms, in the historical podcast, russia and the west are pumped up by history, you said, in general, peter understood perfectly well that war needed money, money and money, so here is the military question, military reform, it dragged everything along with it the rest, education , of course, has worked out here in some special areas of education, progress has been made, but overall, of course, the country has remained illiterate. the same as she was, and uh, who received uh, so to speak, a certain education, this of course, specialists, because they were needed, nevertheless, the academy was created, no , the academy was in st. petersburg, it was created, schools were created, schools were created, no, a lot was done, thanks to christianism all this is created, in addition, that they were building st. petersburg for the christening, in addition to the fact that the christening, those driven away were also building the very azov fleet that allowed them to take it the second time. and also these same thousands of people were displaced, an

also peter bergen and kimberly dozier as well. let's begin with a cedric because what is happening exactly on the ground right now? others still fights in the streets of israel? >> yes there are in fact laura and let's take a look at this because there's some interesting things that have developed here. the location of the festival that everybody talks about where the 260 people were killed is right about here just about southwest of the area. all these towns have had folks from hamas actually showing up in each of these areas. some of them still have pockets of hamas fighters in them, others have been cleared and the israelis are saying that they have pushed out most of them now. but the latest briefings from the idf defensive forces say they still have some areas where they are fighting in one or two elements. that is one area where you can see there's hasn't been quite cleaned up yet basically laura. >> israel is saying the, government is saying that over 4000 rockets were actually fired into israel. how have they been respondi

peter did not leave fevronia and left the city with her.r departure , quarrels and troubles began. the people themselves asked the prince to return to take the place of the legitimate ruler. before death, according to pious custom, the husband and wife took monasticism. the saints of peter fevronia died on the same day, they bequeathed to put them in one coffin, which they had prepared for themselves long ago; to this day, the relics of the murum miracle workers rest in the common coffin. if the affairs that brought you to dobruzh are over, before before the time has come to set off on the way back, there is a place that you must visit, this is the most beautiful church of st. nicholas the wonderworker. surprisingly, there are many ancient icons in the relatively new temple. because of this, it is difficult to believe that the temple is not centuries old. many of the icons are unique in their kind, here are the icons in the temple, mainly those that have been preserved from the old churches in dobrush, something was probably transferred fro

peter says sunak is election.od job in very difficult circumstances and i've got to say, peter, a lot of people don't give the tories credit for the amount of stuff that has gone on that has been entirely outside of their control . well, i wonder how control. well, i wonder how would any party have fared, quite frankly, over these last few years ? charlie says. few years? charlie says. michelle no , definitely not. to michelle no, definitely not. to a general election. he reckons labour party will get in and he says, god help us if they do. clive says we need someone who is strong and who will listen to the people. i think he's suggesting he will vote for the reform party when that comes along. >> michelle, one really interesting thing because you said before the break about the new a critical of the monopoly of power by these two main parties. >> no, i'm i'm i'm critical of the monopoly of entitled . the monopoly of entitled. >> and i think that tory and laboun >> and i think that tory and labour, they somehow th

i can name quite a few names who were called forerunners of peter the great.ns occupied narva, making narva out of it. ivan the terrible, he tried very hard, he tried, but it turned out that they left narva, there was godunov, who sent it to peter the great. there are not many russian people to study in the west, so to speak, and none of them returned , however, unlike those who sent whom peter the great sent to study, so to speak, there were others, say, the favorite of peter’s sister sophia, vasily galitsin , well, he was the most avid european and westerner, he knew languages, languages knew, even communicated with the izuzuts, so to speak. completely calmly and also dreamed of very many, many reforms, first of all, so to speak, about the reform of the army, because during the campaigns to the south, he suffered a big, major failure, especially since he wanted to reform the army, but in general, everything they, of course, are only partially, vasily kolyuchevsky believed that, in general, the ancestors left peter almost a preliminary design of all the refor

by the way, he didn’t teach peter sayrevich, though.uted this to him. once upon a time this place was the monastery of the polotsk epiphany monastery. it was here that semeon of polotsk took monastic vows. today, this building houses two unique museums: the museum of the library of the spiritual writer of the belarusian land and the museum of belarusian book printing. here at the fraternal school, before moving to moscow, semyon polotsky taught. the exhibition tells about different periods of the life and work of the belarusian educator, from the earliest period of study in kiev and vilna to moscow. since the moscow period of semyon of polotsk coincided with the baroque era, even for those times he designed his poems in a very non-standard manner. lines of works folded into geometric shapes. a star, a cross, a rhombus and even a heart, this, as far as i understand, is the most famous poem of the enlightener from the cycle of greetings. and semyon of polotsk, they say, was a brilliant astrologer, he was the first to sense the birth of pe

peter: judge?aggs: originalism is the idea that judges should be influenced but not bound by the original meaning of the constitution but it gets quite complicated because it turns out there is more than one view of what we mean by the original meaning. we could mean the original intent of the framers at the constitutional convention, the people who wrote the document, what did they think. or it could mean the original understanding by those who ratified the constitution in 17 and 1788. or we could talk about the original public meaning or objective meaning, which is what would the average people would have understood this to mean? what did the words mean when they were used? you asked a very important question, how are we to know what someone then would have thought? not without tools. there are many historical sources and if you can find an agreement among those sources it gives you more confidence but i think where you get into difficulty is may be all you have is a snippet of the federalist pap

peter, i love teaching. thank goodness my students seem to like me, but i perceived that there has been an increasing attack on free speech from across the political spectrum and seemed to me to be much more important. use my time to both educate and advocate in front of audiences beyond my classroom. and so, in fact, i wrote the book that you're kindly going to interview me about. it was published in 2018. i wrote it the year before, and since 2017 i have been making more than 200 public presentations per year all over united states, all over the world, about the attacks on free speech and why we should resist the calls to censor. so thank you for giving the opportunity to vent and in fact, we should note that your book is coming out in the fall of 2023, is entitled free speech. what everybody needs to know. but going back to hate and the aclu has the aclu been consistent in its support of free speech, in your view? yes, it has the aclu is probably best known for a case we handled back in the 1970s, the so-

peter bone has been the mp for wellingborough since 2005.eing diagnosed with post—traumatic stress disorder. i entered parliament with a lifelong dream of wanting to be in politics. and then it became this horrid, brutal, dark experience that left me a broken shell of the young man i once was. after resigning from the job, the staff member filed an official complaint with the conservative party. five years later, their investigation was still open when borisjohnson promoted peter bone to become a minister. how do you think we come to a point where a prime minister can promote someone who's got these allegations going on against them? it's politics. i believe it was purely self—serving. i don't believe they thought about me. this evening, peter bone's suspension from the house of commons went through without discussion... ...say aye. aye. ..triggering a recall petition in his constituency, which will be open for six weeks. if 10% of peter bone's constituents sign the recall petition, that will then lead to a by—election. it would be the tenth

good evening, peter. >> peter: bret, president biden often talks about trusting his experts but that is not what is happening here because it appears that he is taking the opposite side of a border wall than his homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas. even though mayorkas is saying tonight there is no new administration policy and he thinks he is being taken out of context. >> do you believe the border wall works? >> no. >> peter: but up to 20 miles of new wall will soon be built. >> here in eagle pass, texas. we continue to see large crowds of migrants crossing the rio grande to enter the u.s. and despite razor wire like this, it isn't discouraging them and neither is the border wall in el paso where new images like this appear to show a huge group of migrants running towards the u.s.-mexico border. >> dhs secretary mayorkas warns there is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the united states in order to prevent unlawful entries into the united states. >> the president disagrees but claims he's stuck

peter and courtney plea, standby. joining us now by phone is msnbc military analyst colonel jack jacobs colonel jack your reaction to news tonight that the united states has performed limited strikes in syria against the iranian revolutionary guard corps. >> well, it's not surprising that iran has done what it's done. it tries as much as possible to use proxies, but its fingerprints are on absolutely every attack on american and allied interests in the region. and so, at some juncture, they would expect that the united states would strike. we have struck before in syria and other places as a result of attacks on american interests. it depends on whether or not iran wants to take it further. the likelihood is that they will not. they will continue to use proxies, make small scale attacks, and as we heard, in the event that there is a death, an american death, as a result of an attack by iran or in iran proxy, then we can expect an escalation and we already have plans to attack a specific targets among iranian interests
