Will the Slavonic streams converge in the Russian sea?

Russian liberal scholars since 2022: 'Jeremy, you can't deny the reality of public opinion'

Russian liberal scholars in 2024. 'This poll is BS because I don't like it'

‼️ Crazy scenes - Russian forces dug a major tunnel under AFU positions in Avdeevka then popped out with a whole platoon/company and mowed everyone down

"The frontline: Russians dug an underground tunnel to Ukrainian positions and drove militants out of there

Previously, the tunnel was about 170 metres long, the exit from the tunnel was blown up by a 500-kilogram high-explosive charge, after which Ukrainian positions were taken by storm."

Underrated fact that 99% of Soviet and Russian films are easily available online. Case in point: Mosfilm, one of Russia's largest and oldest studios, has been uploading its entire film archive on Youtube for free:

We are proud to announce our newest release: The Story of the Russian Land by Alexander Nechvolodov, available for the first time in English.

Military general, intelligence agent, aristocrat, author, historian, major player in the pre-Soviet Russian reactionary right, Alexander Dmitrievich Nechvolodov (1864–1938) yet remains a relatively obscure figure in the Western world’s memory of the Russian revolution. In the early twentieth century, his masterpiece The Story of the Russian Land was regarded as one of the best works about the history of Russia and received the highest approval of Emperor Nicholas II, filling the country’s libraries.

Originally written in 1909, Volume I covers the time period from antiquity to 1054, encompassing the initial dispersal of peoples throughout Eastern Europe, the culture of the Scythians and their various interactions with ancient empires and kingdoms, the relationships of the Rus’ people with the Goths, Huns, Avars, Khazars, and others, the creation of the Kievan Rus’ state and lives of their early rulers, and the religious influence of the Byzantine Empire on Kievan Rus’ and their adoption of Christianity. The complete set of all four volumes was published in 1913 with the addition of over one thousand figures, mostly paintings and engravings, and this edition does include those figures that pertain to Volume I, which enrich the story tremendously. Much unlike the typical, dry historical text, The Story of the Russian Land truly is a story, told with passion and excitement from an author who loved his nation and her people and history.

Antelope Hill Publishing is honored to provide the first English translation of The Story of the Russian Land by Alexander Dmitrievich Nechvolodov. Complete with a foreword by the translator, Dennis Sinclair, as well as editorial annotations for the benefit of the modern reader and the addition of geographic maps, this story will captivate Russophiles and lovers of history alike.

According the to 1762 census, there were only 27 women for every 100 men at the Omsk fortress
To provide the men defending the south Siberia with wives, the Russian state sent them convicted women to marry, who were usually convicted for arson & infanticide
Women younger than 16 & over 50 were also regularly married, as well as single mothers

The decree was brief: "Rename the city of Zagorsk, Moscow Oblast, to the city of Sergiev Posad..."

The city of Sergiev Posad was formed in 1782 by decree of Empress Catherine II from villages and settlements located near the Holy Trinity - St. Sergius Lavra.

Short thread from my early days on Twitter on how Russia annexed its Far East region from China, giving it a coast on the Pacific Ocean & adding Vladivostok to the empire.
For a great book on this subject, see "Imperial Visions" - one of my favourite books on Russian history

Let's talk about Russian small-unit tactics on the offensive. With Russian troops stepping up attacks across the front in Ukraine, I suspect this will be very relevant in the near future.

A video came out recently which I will use to illustrate: https://t.co/xXgDCtTVVg
