President Putin in Tuva, found another oddity: in the photo with a fish, the president is posing in the same pants as in 2007. The trip itself is not in president's chart on the official website, but the journalists of the Kremlin pool were not invited there.
One of the first to notice the oddities in the lighting of the trip "New Newspaper" : For some reason, fishing was hidden from ordinary Russians for six days, and the TV channels covering the event did not come to an agreement when Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev joined the company. This happened because the journalists were not taken on a strange trip, and they had to report on it using photographs from the Kremlin press service.
By the way, they are completely ambiguous. Official sites are just confusing. Photo in Instagram Medvedev, entitled "In Tuva. With Vladimir Putin" on putin's website made "during a visit to the state natural biosphere reserve" Sayano-Shushensky. "By the way, the prime minister also published his photo report about the trip only on July 26.
In the middle of the week, a video was shown on all federal channels in which President Putin was fishing with Medvedev and Shoigu in Tuva. Bloggers have found some similarities between Putin's fishing trip to the one he went on back in 2007. Moreover, there is no information about the president's trip to Tuva in 2013 even on the official website of the head of state.
and we see the wonderful:
On July 21 from midnight to 8 a.m. rainstorm, from 8 a.m. to midnight 90% or 100% cloud cover.
On July 20 thunderstorm in the morning, from midnight to 14 o'clock overcast, from 14 o'clock to 19 o'clock 80% cloudiness, thunderclouds, then a shower.
Well, well, maybe the cameramen have successfully caught the sun coming out from behind the clouds, the blue sky in the half of the sky. Let's admit.
But who is this posing instead of Vladimir Vladimirovich with a pike?
Attention here. This is the real Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, the famous photograph of 2000. Please take a close look at the profile of the nose. Concave, neat, regular nose, medium length, without the slightest hint of hump, typically Slavic.
But this is the man who allegedly caught a pike in Tuva on July 21. Take a close look at the profile of the nose.
Close up again. We see a large aquiline nose, with a pronounced hump, in the shape of a beak, noticeably longer than the real nose of V.V. Putin.
Now for the pulp. They say - I emphasize, these are only rumors, but my friends are the sons of several very high-ranking people - that some kind of back disease turned out to be so serious that last year the issue of long-term treatment of the guarantor abroad was considered, and in March this year it allegedly took irreversible character.
I have a terrible guess. This guess explains all the whistle that has been going on in the country for the last month.
Let's suppose that exactly 1 month ago V.V.Putin was unable to fulfill his duties due to health reasons. According to Part 3 of Art. 92 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, "in all cases when the President of the Russian Federation is unable to perform his duties, they are temporarily performed by the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation." That is, Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev.
It is also clear that Medvedev without Putin is the end of the careers of people like Sechin and Yakunin, as well as the quiet resignation of people like Bastrykin. They cannot allow the transformation of Medvedev into acting. President. Therefore, until the truth is completely impossible to hide, a stalemate will remain in power - Medvedev does not have enough resources to push Sechin-Bastrykin-Yakunin-Shoigu away. But they also have no way to dismiss Medvedev himself from the post of prime minister. In addition, Medvedev has a Chaika, that is, the Prosecutor General's Office.
Hence, ladies and gentlemen, the most plausible version of the release of Navalny on July 19 appears. Leonid Volkov on this release said that the president "went crazy", Stanislav Belkovsky said that the president "is in the astral plane and suspended animation." Everything is much simpler and worse. Putin did not give orders either to imprison him for 5 years or to release Navalny. Do you really think that if Putin were alive and able to make decisions, he would have hidden Navalny in the morning, and by the evening ordered to release him, revolutionizing Moscow and creating the image of an indestructible hero for Navalny?
No. The decision to land was made by Bastrykin and Co., the decision to release was made by Medvedev. Bastrykin called the Kirovsky court, Medvedev called Chaika. They did not go for any approvals, because there was no one to go to.
Does this version explain all the other oddities? Yes, it does. It is immediately clear why:
1) Medvedev began to appear on the screens so often - for example, on the same fishing trip with "Putin";
2) Tina Kandelaki (!) First stated that she "sees potential in Navalny," and then transferred the money to Navalny's electoral fund (!!!);
3) Navalny is conducting a completely free election campaign in Moscow, and only Bastrykin sluggishly threatens to initiate a case for stickers attached to the State Duma.
I would like to end the post with a quote from Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev's favorite book, "Heart of a Dog":
"The ball still exists, and no one has definitely killed it.
- Professor, - the black man spoke very surprised, raising his eyebrows, - then he will have to be shown. The tenth day, as disappeared, and the data, excuse me, is very bad ... "
This year the anniversary is celebrated by one of the most popular comedy characters in Russian cinema - Shurik, who became famous thanks to Gaidai's three comedies. On August 16, 1965, the first film with his participation was released - "Operation" Y "and other adventures of Shurik".
The details of Gaidai's signature style include his amazing talent for choosing actors. Almost every character, even appearing for a couple of seconds, engraved in the memory of the viewer due to its textured appearance or some catchy remark.
How did the fate of the actors who played the most striking episodic roles in Operation Y, Prisoner of the Caucasus and Ivan Vasilyevich develop?
Emmanuel Geller
The first scene is a bus stop, where Shurik and an intelligent-looking passenger with an umbrella are standing in the pouring rain. Having passed everyone in a row twice on the approaching buses, these two cannot get on them themselves. In the end, unable to bear it, the "colleague in misfortune" pushes Shurik away and himself gets into the third bus. This passenger was played by Emmanuel Geller.
The real name of the artist is Khavkin. He was born in 1898 in Yekaterinoslav (now Dnepropetrovsk). During his life he starred in 80 films. Often his role was reduced to a wordless, but vivid appearance on the screen, and many actors later tried to adopt his skill as a comedian-episodic. For example, films with his participation were often revised by Savely Kramarov, especially to look at tiny fragments with the actor.
Most often Geller played pirates and sailors, photographers, passengers and passers-by, "persons of Caucasian nationality." He also starred in the continuation of Shurik's adventures - he played a barbecue in "Prisoner of the Caucasus".
Already at a very old age he took part in one of the last Gaidaev films "Private detective, or Operation" Cooperation ", where he played the usual role of an elderly passenger. He died in 1990 at the age of 91. His film career lasted 60 years.
Vladimir Rautbart
The first film of the trilogy continues the short story "Obsession". The romantic story of Shurik and Lida takes place against the backdrop of comic exam scenes, in which students try to pass the subject to an ironic professor. He was played by Vladimir Rautbart.
He was born in 1929 in Nikolaev. He started working at the Omsk drama theater. Having become popular, he left for Moscow. Periodically acting in films, he was constantly in search of his image. But it so happened that for a promising artist, the role in "Operation Y" was the last in the cinema. 4 years after the film was released, in 1969, he died of a ruptured aorta. Before his death, he managed to voice one of the most memorable negative characters in Soviet cartoons : it is in his voice that the old woman Shapoklyak speaks in the cartoon "Gena the Crocodile".
Donara Mkrtchyan
Uncle Jabrail's wife became one of the few characters devoid of comedic features. The performers of the roles and in real life were spouses - Frunzik and Donara Mkrtchyan. The hit of the actor's wife in the film was one of the episodes of his personal tragedy. “Donara literally pursued her husband with her claims. She watched after the performances, hunted down. For the sake of his wife’s peace of mind, he agreed to take her for the role in“ The Caucasian Captive ”.
But over the years, the problems worsened, and the husband decided to show her to the doctors. It turned out that Donara has a serious hereditary mental illness. In a moment of despair, Frunzik decided to send her abroad for treatment, but he did not wait for her from a hospital in France: she spent all her last 25 years of her life in a mental hospital, died in 2011. Frunzik died 20 years earlier.
After Donara Mkrtchyan's "Caucasian Captive" she starred in 4 more films. In each of them, Frunzik played one of the main roles.
Mikhail Gluzsky
"Toast without wine what a wedding night without a bride!" - one of the deepest and at the same time comical thoughts of "The Prisoner" was uttered by an employee of the hotel, into which Shurik moves in at the beginning of the film. The role of the administrator was played by Mikhail Gluzsky.
He was born in 1918 in Kiev. After moving to Moscow in 1929, he worked as a mechanic. In 1936 he entered the School of Film Actors, then at the Theater-Studio of Film Actors, where he worked until 1995.
The first serious works in cinema for Gluzsky were the films "The Secret of Two Oceans" and "The Quiet Don". In just 60 years of filming, the actor took part in 150 films. He was also engaged in dubbing foreign films, and also held important posts in the Union of Cinematographers of the USSR. He passed away in 2001. He was 82.
Victor Shulgin
"The army rebelled! They say the king is not real!" - one of the many quotes that the film was dismantled almost immediately after the release of the screens. The culminating remark was made by a boyar with a thick beard, played by Viktor Shulgin.
He came to the cinema in 1959, playing the small role of a violinist in the lyric comedy "Chernomorochka". Later he became the real king of the episode thanks to his bright, memorable appearance. It was in the 70s that his brightest "little" appearances on the screen fell - the films "Two days of alarm", "Big change", "Two on the way", "Stepmother", etc.
And in 1974 - the first major role: in the television series "Born by the Revolution" Shulgin played the red policeman Bushmakin. In the future, the artist demonstrated an amazing ability to work. In 1984, a record year for him, 13 films with his participation were released.
He passed away in 1992. During his life, he created many vivid images, but he never had a chance to become an actor of the 1st echelon.
Anatoly Kalabulin
Anatoly was brought to the big screens by an unusually comical texture. He was filmed exclusively in episodes, but these episodes turned out to be so vivid that today many people remember better than other pictures.
At Gaidai's, Kalabulin was a frequent guest. In addition to "Ivan Vasilyevich", where he played an emotional archer with twitching ears, there were also episodes in "It Can't Be!" and "12 chairs" (he appeared in each of the two adaptations of the work of Ilf and Petrov: Gaidai had an auctioneer Vasily, and Zakharov had one of the chess players in Vasyuki).
Having starred in a dozen films, Anatoly did not live to see any role on a larger scale. At the age of 43, in 1981, he died of liver disease.
Many write that Putin hid his wife in a monastery, because she has not appeared in public for too long.
Another version seems to me more likely - neither Putin, nor his wife, nor his children have long been in public or anywhere else.
There are several indirect evidences of this.
1) Appearance.
All this funny talk about Botox makes you think that the president has gone crazy. It is convenient to write off all sorts of idiotic tricks on the same roof that has gone. But only one fact can be considered accurate and verified - the person who is called Putin has dramatically and greatly changed his appearance.
Likewise, his wife's appearance changed dramatically and greatly. Her appearance in the elections is just a classic of the genre of public disguise: this shaggy wig, a spacious wrap-around cloak that hides the figure ... "Gestalt" to know a certain integrity. Attentive people will not recognize the details.
Before us are completely different people playing a role. Like Lenin or Stalin on Red Square, taking pictures with tourists. And what do caricature Lenin or Stalin do to be more like the original? That's right, they use "stereotypical behavior". "I have a cap in my hands, a pipe in my teeth."
2) Behavior.
The real Putin has been repeatedly spotted in gopnic tricks. He said "chew snot" and said "wet in the toilet," and that was part of his image. The current Putin has turned this gopnicity into grotesque. These phrases and this style no longer slip through him - he uses only them. And when communicating with the local public, and even at any international meetings. So Lenin's double, if necessary, would constantly exaggerately burst and constantly use words like "my friend" - after all, this is what "ordinary people" expect of him. Although there is one point that also betrays the person playing the role.
3) Attitude.
The person is removed. He neither exists for the audience, nor does he exist for the audience. He is rude from the screens and stands, carries obvious nonsense, amuses himself and has fun. A real "tyrant tsar" in this case would have done all sorts of other tyranny - but in the political, and especially the economic sphere, the course is very tough and does not change under the influence of the moment. It is based on the simple rule "the rich get richer, the poor get poorer," which is not violated under any circumstances. In all other things, the artist posing as Putin allows himself to amuse himself and fool around.
Another indirect evidence of the substitution of Putin is two points. The first is the political situation. Medvedev's presidential term was marked by a whole bunch of completely delusional, often conflicting ideas of bills. This continues to this day. At public levels with low funding, where the interests of the largest oligarchs are not affected, trash, frenzy and complete chaos are going on. The second is news about Putin. All this Lada-Kalina, botox, amphorae and fish-kissing - if we abstract from their delusional essence - are aimed at only one thing. So that people say, "Here is a fool, a tsar-father", but not ask the question "why is this tsar-father not like himself?" You need to hide it in the most visible place, the secret is hidden behind a noise curtain.
It is quite obvious to me that somewhere between 2007 and 2010, the real V.V. Putin disappeared with his family. Was it his deliberate decision to leave big politics in some quiet European castle, or he was liquidated by his "friends-classmates" in the basement of some Ipatyevsky house, we hardly know now. Semibankirshchina hired several artists, launched several disturbing stories about Kabaeva and Botox on the Internet, and now rules the country exclusively in the interests of big business. The first trial balloon was "Medvedev's eccentricities", the second was the "Prokhorov" seven-bank project, when they nominated an apparently stupid (\u003d controlled) person from their midst, in order to soon proclaim him the next "successor" and finally fix the power of the capitalists in the country.
However, it should be noted that in terms of protests, this does not change anything. Protests and rallies, slogans "Putin - go away" are just a way to show the secret rulers of the country the discontent of the people. Another question, which is important to understand - even if the hired artist is "left", it is not at all necessary that the seven-bank system will completely abandon its previous course. But this will at least be a feedback, which is not observed at all now.
And the king is not real!
Do you remember this phrase from Gaidai's famous comedy "Ivan Vasilyevich Changes His Profession", when the archers raised a riot, suspecting that the tsar had been replaced? There were many tsars in Russia, starting with Ivan III, the grandfather of the famous Ivan the Terrible, and ending with Nicholas II. But from all the reigning persons, Gaidai chooses Ivan the Terrible. Was it a random choice or was it something logical?
I have long been surprised by the ability of many artists to give in their works such information that they could not know in any way. Let us recall at least the famous epic with the novel by the writer Robertson about the collapse of the huge ocean liner "Titan", written 14 years before the collision of the real "Titanic" with an iceberg. Or a more recent example with the novel by the Ukrainian writer Gleb Bobrov "The Era of the Stillborn" published in 2008, which describes the civil war in Donbass, and which mentions such well-known names as Slavyansk, Kramatorsk, Yasinovataya, etc.
Of course, the story with Ivan the Terrible in the 20th century, when Leonid Gaidai lived and worked, refers to the past, not the future. Therefore, Gaidai, in principle, could know that Ivan the Terrible was not a law-born king. But for this one must not only know history, but know it very well. But in this I just have doubts, nevertheless Gaidai was a film director and could not boast of excellent knowledge of Russian history. And therefore, his choice in favor of Ivan the Terrible could be due to the same factor that is characteristic of many artists: they unconsciously receive information from a certain universal bank of information and then present it in their books and films in the form of a fantasy or even a fairy tale.
Ivan IV (the future Terrible) came from the Golden Horde temnik Mamai on his mother, and from the ancient Rurik on his father. But among the people there were constantly rumors about the illegal origin of the king. And the reasons for such rumors were quite serious. Let's remember the history.
After the defeat on the Kulikovo field, Mamai fled to the Crimean Kafa (today's Sudak) to his allies, the Genoese, who then owned Kafa. But they did not forgive him for the death of the Genoese infantry participating in the battle, and killed him. And the son of Mamai fled to Lithuania to Prince Vitovt. That fugitive received affectionately and instructed him to keep the defense of the southern borders of his state from the Mongol-Tatars. Vitovt understood that Mamaev's son had nowhere to go: as soon as he returned to the Horde, they would immediately kill him (no one needs a new contender for the Horde throne). And Vitovt's calculation was justified, mamaich served the prince faithfully.
In 1399, Vitovt went to war against the Horde, but suffered a crushing defeat on the Vorskla River. The defeat was so complete that only one person remained with the prince - this very Mama's son - and all the others who survived just fled. For two days Mamaich drove the prince through the local ravines and swamps, allegedly lost. And for Vitovt, every second was precious, because there are always many hunters for the empty prince's place in the capital. Finally, Vitovt was so worried about his absence in the capital that he promised his companion princely dignity if they got out to the people right now. And a "miracle" happened: two hours later the satellites reached the local village. Now the return to the capital of the state was a matter of decision.
Vitovt kept his promise. He awarded his companion with the title of prince and gave the town of Glinsk as a reward. So in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania a new clan of the Glinsky princes appeared.
Very quickly, the new princely family became the richest and most influential in the state. What contributed to this - the Tatar cunning, inherent in the genes, or the benevolent attitude of the great dukes - is not known. But as always happens in such cases, the lucky ones have a lot of envious people and even enemies who have not come to terms with the appearance of upstarts. Therefore, a strong opposition was formed among the old boyar and princely families against the Glinsky princes. And the last prince Glinsky, after an unsuccessful coup attempt, had to flee. He fled to Russia, where at that time the son of Ivan III ruled the newly divorced Tsar Vasily III.
Tsar Vasily was married to Solomon for 20 years, but the marriage was childless. Finally, tired of waiting for the heir, the tsar accuses his wife of sterility, imprisons her in a monastery and divorces. After that, the search for a new wife begins. And then the tsar's gaze fell on the niece of Prince Glinsky, who had fled to him, Elena. The wedding took place in 1526. And in 1530, a boy was finally born, who in the future became Ivan the Terrible. So, the accusation of Vasily of the infertility of his first wife was justified if a boy was born? This is where riddles and intrigues begin.
Let's pay attention to the fact that the birth of a child happened four years after the wedding. If the king had normal masculine strength, how could such a long interval between the wedding and the birth of the heir be explained? On the other hand, legends about the robber ataman Kudeyar are widespread in Southern Russia, who, according to one version, was the son of Solomonia, who was born by her in the monastery secretly after a divorce, and was born not from the king, but from an unknown guard with whom Solomonia entered into a relationship to get revenge on her ex-husband. If Kudeyar is really the son of Solomon, then the version about her infertility turns out to be incorrect. And her husband Vasily should be recognized as sterile. And the fact that the second wife of the king nevertheless gave birth to an heir can be explained as follows.
Elena perfectly understood what fate awaited her if she could not give birth to an heir to the king: the example of Solomon was constantly before her eyes. Therefore, realizing a couple of years later that she would never give birth from the king, Elena could conceive an intrigue with the birth of a child from another man. And the best candidate for the role of a real father was the boyar Ovchina Telepnev-Obolensky. He served as a bed-bed in the royal court, that is, he was responsible for all bedding and, by the nature of his service, had the right to appear in the palace at any time, even at night. After Vasily's death, when his son little Vanya was still quite a child, it was the boyar Ovchina Telepnev-Obolensky who became the most loyal ally and support of the widowed queen. And she really needed such support, because being more Lithuanian by education than Russian, she could not boast of love and respect from the Moscow boyars. And yet, the boyar front was stronger. Sheep Telepnev-Obolensky was accused of attempted murder of the growing prince and, despite all the efforts of Elena, was sentenced to death. After the execution, the arbitrariness and arbitrariness of the Moscow boyars began. Elena no longer had any power and was only tolerated on the throne.
And little Vanya, meanwhile, grew and grew. And finally, when he entered into full tsarist strength and put on tsar's clothes, no one could throw the charge of illegitimate birth into his eyes with impunity.
Impostors have repeatedly claimed the Russian throne - there were three False Dmitrys alone. Usually they were helped by foreigners, most often Poles. But they were not very successful in this. Perhaps, after that, someone came up with the idea to replace the young Tsar Peter I: after all, the best way to subjugate a country is to put your own man at the head of it.
The worm of doubt
At first I thought: this cannot be! He found a "simple" explanation: he liked the life there, he was struck down by the "achievements" of the West, hence the changes in consciousness.
But the substitution hypothesis gave an answer to the riddle that has long tormented me: Peter I, in a long line of Russian princes, tsars and emperors, stands out for his unusual cruelty: as historians say, under the reign of Peter I, the country lost up to 20% of its population. He personally chopped off the heads of the archers, which was depicted in his famous painting by I. Surikov. He built the northern capital on human bones closer to his beloved Europe and called it, in a non-Russian way, St. Petersburg. The former would not have come here at all, and if he had begun to give his name to any city, he would have called it Petrograd.
Later, doubts intensified. Well, Russia was not then so backward as to strike a neophyte, in general it was not much different from its western neighbors. The real Peter I would hardly have noticed the "blessings" of Western civilization at all, since he lived royally from childhood.
So the original "explanation" no longer seemed convincing to me.
The king was replaced
What exactly makes you think about substitution?
A brave 26-year-old Orthodox Russian fellow, blood and milk, left with the Grand Embassy for Amsterdam, and a man who was badly worn by life returned, in appearance almost twice as old.
Even before his return, the tsar ordered his first wife Evdokia Lopukhina to be sent to the monastery, and later he stubbornly refused to meet with her. Although he lived for eight years and according to all the testimonies he loved, he wrote fervent letters to her while away. By the way, Evdokia Lopukhina gave birth to three sons to Peter I, all of them were later killed, like many former relatives and friends of the young tsar. To put it mildly, very strange for a real king, but understandable for an impostor - they are all strangers to him!
The former tsar loved everything Russian, but the new one was almost sick of him. Has he really hated everything that is his, dear, paternal so much in two years? ..
Suddenly he stopped wearing the usual Russian clothes and put on European clothes.
And why, after the overseas "tour", the sovereign almost forgot the Russian language, spoke it a little better than the level "mine yours do not understand"? For several years he did not write anything - written speech is more difficult than spoken language - he only dictated. Sometimes he wrote Russian words in Latin.
It is significant that immediately after the return of Peter I, all materials about the childhood and youth of the future tsar disappeared from the Russian court archive. But from 1672 to 1697 "day records" were kept, in which literally every step of the tsarevich was recorded. Among them were the decrees and letters of the real Peter, according to which one could compare the handwriting.
The true sovereign knew about the location of the library of Ivan the Terrible, each tsar passed on its secret to his heir, and the substitute did not know this at all, put a lot of efforts to find it. But in vain. At the same time, his own sister Sophia knew the secret; the princess visited the library.
The entire Russian entourage of the young tsar during his trip abroad in an incomprehensible way "dried up, evaporated": many died, others mysteriously disappeared no one knows where. He returned practically with only foreigners.
It is significant that together with the new encirclement a considerable army arrived in Russia. They were Poles. It was they who then suppressed the riot of the archers and all the disaffected.
In general, throughout his reign, Peter I brought foreigners closer to him, inviting in large numbers from abroad, providing all kinds of benefits. In my life I constantly communicated with them. He could have chosen a bride from almost any royal house in Europe, but, contrary to tradition, he took a foreigner Marta Samuilovna Skavronskaya-Kruse of dubious style.
Before his beloved Moscow - in which he was born! - the replaced king hated, fled from it at every opportunity, and then generally moved the capital closer to what he liked and what he was drawn to with his soul. Was it because he was afraid of being exposed, and therefore did not appear where the real Peter was known and still remembered? ..
"The army rebelled ..."
When, after a two-year absence, a strange man returned, who did not resemble his former self, who did not recognize anyone and spoke Russian poorly, then immediately there was talk that "the tsar is not real." Some of the archers rebelled, demanding Princess Sophia, Peter's sister, to the throne. Discontent was brutally suppressed.
The tsar was not satisfied with this, an additional 14 torture chambers were arranged, where they subjected the archers to torture. Even those who did not take part in the riot, lived openly in Moscow, did not hide from anyone. Most of the tortured soon confessed to everything, including their dislike of foreigners. The latter was punishable and a sufficient reason for punishment ?!
It should be noted that the archers in those days were the most loyal and combat-ready troops, they became inherited. According to some reports, their number reached 20 thousand people. The country was practically left without an army. Instead, they recreated another, of course, according to Western models, where foreigners were skillfully placed in the most important posts.
After the massacre of the archers, at the behest of the tsar, a commemorative medal was issued with inscriptions in the Latin alphabet, which had never been done in Russia before.
"Replaced German"
At that time, very many knew or guessed about the substitution of the king. There were persistent rumors that Russia was ruled by a "substituted German", but they were brutally suppressed.
Over 90% of the records of state crimes of the Preobrazhensky order consist of accusations of those who spoke about the substitution of the sovereign or an impostor, listened to such speeches or did not report them. This is what we fought first! This means that the substitution was noticed immediately, and therefore the new entourage of the king sought to eradicate the truth in the most severe way.
"Real kings" began to appear in different parts of the country. They were seized, tortured, and if they had not previously died during the torture, they were executed.
DS Merezhkovsky wrote about the substitution in his work "Antichrist". Historians A. Fomenko and G. Nosovsky found that the official birthday of Peter I - he was born on May 30 (June 9) 1672 - does not coincide with the day of his angel, which is not the case with any of his predecessors. On the named birthday of the king, Saint Isaac is honored. It is quite possible that he bore this name until he replaced the true Russian sovereign.
The famous Russian historian-researcher V. Shemshuk wrote the book "Devilish coup in Russia". The Russian writer and publicist N. Levashov was a supporter of the version about the substitution of the tsar. His views are shared by the candidate of philosophical sciences, the head of the project "Philosophical assault" I. Danilov. One of the co-founders of the Mozhaisk Historical Society, V. Kukovenko, wrote the book “How Peter I was Replaced”.
Acts of the great "reformer"
Official historians portray Peter I as almost the "greatest reformer" who planted civilization in the "wild country." In fact, he looked much more like a cruel conqueror who barbarously and ruthlessly destroyed the foundations of Russian life.
Here is a short list of False Peter's deeds:
He strenuously implanted alcohol and tobacco, organized parties, called assemblies, at which he literally soldered the guests. By his order, barrels of wine were rolled out to the square and everyone was treated for free.
He gave the peasants the property of the landowners, turning serfdom into a real bondage. But it was said earlier that "a peasant is a title higher than a king" ...
+ He banned the wearing of Russian clothes, imposed a fine for this ...
Replaced the traditional Russian writing with the alphabet of Cyril and Methodius. Among other things, he actually cut off a huge layer of written sources in the old language, they became little understood by subsequent generations.
+ Under the pretext of making copies, he removed old handwritten books from the monasteries and destroyed them, and to write the "Russian" history he brought in the Germans, they made it extremely non-Russian. They even brazenly pointed out that the Germans gave the Russians statehood, although they themselves did not have one at that time: a single German state appeared on the world map many centuries later.
+ Russian self-government - zemstvo - was replaced by a bureaucratic apparatus of foreigners on the western model.
He carried out a tax reform, established taxes, with which he ruined many. It is characteristic that for the supporters of the old way of life, taxes were doubled. Sometimes the right to collect taxes was given to generals, and each province was obliged to maintain military units ...
He issued a decree on succession to the throne, according to which the heir was forbidden to choose brides within the country, it was possible to take those abroad ...
Peter I abolished the Patriarchate, subordinated the Church to secular power through the Synod. He carried out repressions against the clergy - carriers of Russian culture, tried a lot to bring him closer to Catholicism.
Who dared to be an impostor?
It is very likely that the real Peter I was replaced by the Dutchman Jaan Mush. It was to the family of a certain Claes Musch that the "Russian" tsar provided constant material assistance. And his widow was presented with a buer worth 450 guilders. And the helmsman Antip Timofeev, who saved the life of Peter I during a storm on the White Sea, received only 30 rubles (about 150 guilders) as a reward.
The king's addiction to everything Dutch and Dutch is striking. During the trips abroad of Peter I, it was noticed that he most willingly communicated with the Dutch skippers, easily went with them to wine cellars and there he generously watered them.
Once, when visiting Holland, he completely indifferently sailed past the capital, Amsterdam, hurrying to the small town of Saardam (Zaandam). There he walked around almost all the local commoners, willingly dined with them, drank. Eyewitnesses noted that he looked like a man who returned home after a long separation and now visits all his relatives and friends.
There is evidence that the real Peter suffered from hydrophobia from an early age, but when he returned from a foreign "voyage" he demonstrated an excellent ability to swim, experienced a clear craving for the sea and ships. Looks like he was an experienced sailor, maybe even pirated. During naval battles, he showed obvious experience of boarding combat, and very thorough, which required considerable practice to master. Where could he get it if he had never participated in such battles before ?!
According to another version of the foreigner who replaced the real Russian tsar, his name was Isaac Andre. St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg was named after him.
"The Man in the Iron Mask"
And where did the former Russian tsar go? Rather, where did the conspirators take him? What is his future fate?
One of the versions is as follows: the true Peter I was kept in the famous Bastille with a velvet mask on his face. This gave rise to the legend of the "iron mask" and numerous speculations about who is hiding under it. Events by date coincide: the substitution of the Russian tsar (if any) occurred at the end of the summer of 1698, and the man with the mask was brought to Paris shortly after that, in September of the same year.
It is not known whether there is a connection, but it was then that the commandant of the Bastille was replaced. In the lists of this prison, the prisoner is listed as Magshiel, which resembles the distorted surname Mikhailov, under which the real Russian tsar stayed abroad. The unfortunate died five years later. After that, the cell was searched extremely thoroughly, destroying all traces of his stay.
