#Lincoln #AlexanderII
The statue of Abraham Lincoln with Tsar Alexander II is located in Moscow, Russia. It was inaugurated in 2011 and is situated on Bolshaya Pirogovskaya Street. The statue depicts the two leaders shaking hands, symbolizing the relationship between the two nations and their emancipation reforms – Lincoln for the abolition of slavery in the USA and Alexander II for the liberation of the serfs in Russia.
✍️ There is a complex historical narrative surrounding the relationship between the USA and Russia during the American Civil War and the blockade imposed by the North against the South.
The Relationship between Lincoln and Russia: During the Civil War, Russia was one of the few European states that actively supported the Union (the North). This support was partly due to the political relations between Abraham Lincoln and Tsar Alexander II.
The Blockade: Lincoln imposed a naval blockade of Southern ports as part of his war strategy, known as the "Anaconda Plan." The aim was to cut off the South's supply lines and weaken its ability to continue the war.
The Russian Naval Squadron: In 1863, Russia sent two naval squadrons, one to the east coast and one to the west coast of the USA. These were seen as a gesture of support for the Union, but also as a measure to protect their own ships from British and French threats during the Polish independence uprising. The presence of the Russian fleet was interpreted by some as an indirect means to discourage British or French intervention in the civil war on behalf of the Confederacy (the South).
Interpretations and Speculations: There are discussions and theories suggesting that Russia wanted to support the Union because both countries were facing emancipation movements (the abolition of slavery in the USA and the liberation of serfs in Russia). There was also a common interest in counterbalancing British and French influence.
This reflects the complexity of the geopolitical motivations of the time. The blockade was a military strategy against the Confederacy, aimed at isolating the South both economically and militarily.

#OTD 1861: Tsar #AlexanderII issued the #EmancipationManifesto which abolished serfdom throughout the Russian Empire. With this edict, more than 23 million people received their liberty, although its terms were not always favorable to the peasants and increased revolutionary pressures. https://t.co/t4IXH73ewD #RussianHistory
'In the Steppes of Central Asia' is a symphonic poem (or "musical tableau") composed by Alexander #Borodin in 1880, which he dedicated to Franz Liszt. #Russia #AlexanderII #PopeInMongolia
It will help us to understand what it means,... #Mongolia is understood with the senses. I dare say it will do us good perhaps to listen a little to #Borodin's music, which was able to express what this length and breadth of Mongolia means." #Russia #PopeInMongolia
