Peter I and the whole truth about substitution!

(photo difference 2 years)
Studying historical facts and events that were carefully hushed up and kept secret, one can definitely say that Peter I on the throne was replaced by an impostor. The substitution of the real Peter I and his capture took place during his trip to Amsterdam along with the Great Embassy. I tried, by copying, to put together in this post various sources confirming this tragic fact in the history of Russia.

The embassy is leaving a young man of twenty-six years old, above average height, solid build, physically healthy, with a mole on his left cheek, with wavy hair, well-educated, loving everything Russian, Orthodox (it would be more correct - orthodox) Christian, who knows the Bible by heart and etc. etc.

Two years later, a man returns who practically does not speak Russian, who hates everything Russian, who until the end of his life never learned to write in Russian, having forgotten everything he could before leaving for the Grand Embassy and miraculously acquired new skills and abilities, without a mole on on the left cheek, with straight hair, a sickly, forty-year-old looking man.

Isn't it true, some unexpected changes happened to the young man during his two years of absence.

Curiously, the papers of the Great Embassy do not mention that Mikhailov (under this surname young Peter went with the embassy) fell ill with a fever, but it was no secret for the embassy who, in fact, “Mikhailov” was.

A man returns from a trip with a chronic fever, with traces of long-term use of mercury preparations, which were then used to treat tropical fever.

For reference, it should be noted that the Grand Embassy went by the northern sea route, while tropical fever can be “earned” in southern waters, and even then, only after visiting the jungle.

In addition, after returning from the Great Embassy, ​​Peter I, during naval battles, demonstrated extensive experience in boarding combat, which has specific features that can only be mastered by experience. Which requires personal participation in many boarding battles.

All this together suggests that the person who returned with the Great Embassy was an experienced sailor who participated in many naval battles and sailed a lot in the southern seas.

Before the trip, Peter I did not take part in naval battles, if only because during his childhood and youth, Muscovy or Moscow Tartaria did not have access to the seas, with the exception of the White Sea, which simply cannot be called tropical. Yes, and on this Peter I was not often, and even then, as an honorary passenger.

During his visit to the Solovetsky Monastery, the boat on which he was miraculously saved during a storm, and he personally makes a memorial cross for the Archangel Cathedral, on the occasion of salvation in a storm.

And if we add to this the fact that he often corresponded with his beloved wife (Tsarina Evdokia), whom he missed, when he was away, upon his return from the Great Embassy, ​​without even seeing her, without explaining the reasons, he sends him to a convent .

In the work of D.S. Merezhkovsky "Antichrist", the author noted a complete change in the appearance, character and psyche of Tsar Peter I after his return from the "German lands", where he went for two weeks, and returned two years later.

The Russian embassy that accompanied the tsar consisted of 20 people, and was headed by A.D. Menshikov. After returning to Russia, this embassy consisted of only the Dutch (including the notorious Lefort), only Menshikov remained the only one from the old composition.

This "embassy" brought a completely different tsar, who spoke Russian poorly, did not recognize his friends and relatives, which immediately betrayed a substitution: This forced Tsarina Sophia, the sister of the real Tsar Peter I, to raise archers against the impostor. As you know, the Streltsy rebellion was brutally suppressed, Sophia was hanged on the Spassky Gates of the Kremlin, the impostor exiled the wife of Peter I to a monastery, where she never reached, and called his own from Holland.

“His” brother Ivan V and “his” little children Alexander, Natalya and Lavrenty False Peter immediately killed, although the official story tells us about this in a completely different way. And he executed the youngest son Alexei as soon as he tried to free his real father from the Bastille.

=======================

Peter the impostor did such transformations with Russia that we are still echoing around. He began to act like an ordinary conqueror:

He defeated the Russian self-government - "zemstvo" and replaced it with the bureaucratic apparatus of foreigners who brought theft, debauchery and drunkenness to Russia and vigorously planted it here;

He transferred the peasants to the property of the nobles, which turned them into slaves (to whiten the image of the impostor, this “event” falls on Ivan IV);

He defeated the merchants and began to plant industrialists, which led to the destruction of the former universality of people;

He defeated the clergy - the carriers of Russian culture and destroyed Orthodoxy, bringing it closer to Catholicism, which inevitably gave rise to atheism;

Introduced smoking, drinking alcohol and coffee;

He destroyed the ancient Russian calendar, rejuvenating our civilization by 5503 years;

He ordered all Russian chronicles to be brought to Petersburg, and then, like Filaret, he ordered them to be burned. He called on the German "professors" to write a completely different Russian history;

Under the guise of a struggle with the old faith, he destroyed all the elders who lived for more than three hundred years;

He forbade the cultivation of amaranth and the use of amaranth bread, which was the main food of the Russian people, which destroyed the longevity on Earth, which then remained in Russia;

He abolished natural measures: a fathom, a finger, an elbow, an inch, which were present in clothes, utensils and architecture, making them fixed in the Western manner. This led to the destruction of ancient Russian architecture and art, to the disappearance of the beauty of everyday life. As a result, people ceased to be beautiful, since divine and vital proportions disappeared in their structure;

He replaced the Russian title system with the European one, which turned the peasants into an estate. Although the "peasant" is a title, higher than the king, about which there is more than one evidence;

Destroyed the Russian script, which consisted of 151 characters, and introduced 43 characters of the Cyril and Methodius script;

He disarmed the Russian army, exterminating the archers as a caste with their miraculous abilities and magical weapons, and introduced primitive firearms and stabbing weapons in a European manner, dressing the army first in French and then in German uniforms, although the Russian military uniform was the weapon itself. Among the people, the new regiments were called "amusing".

But his main crime was the destruction of Russian education (image + sculpture), the essence of which was to create three people subtle bodies that he does not receive from birth, and if they are not formed, then the consciousness will not have a connection with the consciousnesses of past lives. If in Russian educational institutions they made a generalist from a person who could, starting from bast shoes and ending spaceship, to do everything himself, then Peter introduced a specialization that made him dependent on others.

Before Peter the Pretender, people in Russia did not know what wine was, he ordered barrels of wine to be rolled out onto the square and the townspeople to drink for free. This was done to rip off the memory past life. During the period of Peter, the persecution of babies who were born, remembering their past lives and able to speak, continued. Their persecution began with John IV. The mass destruction of infants with past life memories cast a curse on all incarnations of such children. It is no coincidence that today, when a talking child is born, he lives no more than two hours.

After all these deeds, the invaders themselves did not dare to call Peter the Great for a long time. And only in the 19th century, when the horrors of Peter the Great had already been forgotten, did a version arose about Peter the innovator, who did so much useful for Russia, even brought potatoes and tomatoes from Europe, allegedly brought there from America. Solanaceae (potatoes, tomatoes) were widely represented in Europe even before Peter. Their endemic and very ancient presence on this continent is confirmed by a large species diversity, which took more than one thousand years. On the contrary, it is known that it was during the time of Peter that a campaign was launched against witchcraft, in other words, food culture (today the word "witchcraft" is used in a sharply negative sense). Before Peter there were 108 types of nuts, 108 types of vegetables, 108 types of fruits, 108 types of berries, 108 types of root nodules, 108 types of cereals, 108 spices and 108 types of fruits *, corresponding to 108 - Russian gods.

After Peter, there were units of sacred species used for food, which a person can see for himself. In Europe, this was done even earlier. Cereals, fruits and nodules were especially destroyed, since they were associated with the reincarnation of a person. The only thing that Peter the impostor did was allowed to cultivate potatoes (Orthodox Old Believers do not use them for food), sweet potato and earthen pear, which today are poorly eaten. The destruction of sacred plants consumed at a certain time led to the loss of complex divine reactions of the body (remember the Russian proverb “every vegetable has its own time”). Moreover, the mixing of food caused putrefactive processes in the body, and now people exude stench instead of fragrance. Adoptogenic plants have almost disappeared, only weakly active ones remain: the “root of life”, lemongrass, zamaniha, golden root. They contributed to human adaptation to difficult conditions and keep people young and healthy. There are absolutely no metamorphizing plants left that contribute to various metamorphoses of the body and appearance, about 20 years ago, the “Sacred Coil” was found in the mountains of Tibet, and even that has disappeared today.

* Today, the word “fruit” is understood as a unifying concept, which includes fruits, nuts, berries, which used to be called simply gifts, while gifts of herbs and shrubs were called fruits. An example of fruits are peas, beans (pods), peppers, i.e. peculiar unsweetened fruits of herbs.

The campaign to impoverish our diet continues and at present, Kalega and sorghum have almost disappeared from consumption, it is forbidden to grow poppies. From many sacred gifts, only the names remain, which are given to us today as synonyms for famous fruits. For example: pruhva, kaliva, bukhma, landushka, which are passed off as rutabaga, or armud, kvit, pigwa, gutey, gun - disappeared gifts that are passed off as quince. Kukish and dulya in the 19th century denoted a pear, although these were completely different gifts, today these words are used to call the image of a fig (also, by the way, a gift). A fist with an inserted thumb, used to denote the mudra of the heart, today it is used as a negative sign. Dulya, figs and figs were no longer grown, because they were sacred plants among the Khazars and Varangians. Already in Lately proska began to be called "millet", barley - barley, and millet and barley cereals disappeared forever from the mankind of agriculture.

What happened to the real Peter I? He was captured by the Jesuits and placed in a Swedish fortress. He managed to convey the letter to Charles XII, King of Sweden, and he rescued him from captivity. Together they organized a campaign against the impostor, but the entire Jesuit-Masonic fraternity of Europe, called to fight, together with the Russian troops (whose relatives were taken hostage in case the troops decide to go over to the side of Charles), won at Poltava. The real Russian Tsar Peter I was again captured and placed away from Russia - in the Bastille, where he later died. An iron mask was put on his face, which caused a lot of talk in France and Europe. The Swedish king Charles XII fled to Turkey, from where he tried again to organize a campaign against the impostor.

It would seem, kill the real Peter, and there would be no trouble. But the fact of the matter is, the invaders of the Earth needed a conflict, and without a living king behind bars, neither would have succeeded. Russo-Swedish war, nor Russian-Turkish, which in fact were civil wars, which led to the formation of two new states: Turkey and Sweden, and then several more. But the real intrigue was not only in the creation of new states. In the 18th century, all of Russia knew and talked about the fact that Peter I was not a real tsar, but an impostor. And against this background, the “great Russian historians” who arrived from the German lands: Miller, Bayer, Schlozer and Kuhn, who completely distorted the history of Russia, no longer presented any difficulty in declaring all the Dmitriev tsars as False Dmitrys and impostors who did not have the right to the throne, and who did not managed to groan, they changed the royal surname to - Rurik.

The genius of Satanism is Roman law, which is the basis of constitutions modern states. It was created contrary to all ancient canons and ideas about a society based on self-government (autocracy).

For the first time, judicial power was transferred from the hands of the priests to the hands of people who did not have a spiritual dignity, i.e. the power of the best was replaced by the power of anyone.

Roman law is presented to us as the “crown” of human achievement, in reality it is the pinnacle of disorder and irresponsibility. State laws under Roman law are based on prohibitions and punishments, i.e. on negative emotions, which, as you know, can only destroy. This leads to a general lack of interest in the implementation of laws and to opposition of officials to the people. Even in the circus, work with animals is based not only on a whip, but also on a carrot, but a person on our planet is rated lower than animals by conquerors.

In contrast to Roman law, the Russian state was built not on prohibitive laws, but on the conscience of citizens, which strikes a balance between encouragement and prohibition. Let us recall how the Byzantine historian Procopius of Caesarea wrote about the Slavs: "They had all the laws in their heads." Relations in ancient society were regulated by the principles of horse, from which the words “canon” (ancient - konon), “from time immemorial”, “chambers” (i.e. according to horse) have come down to us. Guided by the principles of the horse, a person avoided mistakes and could incarnate again in this life. The principle is always above the law, because it contains more possibilities than the law, just as a sentence contains more information than one word. The very word "law" means "beyond the horse." If a society lives according to the principles of the horse, and not according to the laws, it is more vital. Commandments contain more than a horse, and therefore surpass it, just as a story contains more than a sentence. The commandments can improve human organization and thinking, which in turn can improve the principles of the horse.

As the remarkable Russian thinker I.L. Solonevich, who knew from his own experience the charms of Western democracy, in addition to the long-lived Russian monarchy, based on popular representation (zemstvo), merchants and clergy (meaning pre-Petrine times), democracy and dictatorship were invented, replacing each other in 20-30 years. However, let us give him the floor himself: “Professor Whipper is not entirely right when he writes that the modern humanities are only “theological scholasticism and nothing more”; it is something much worse: it is deceit. This is a whole collection of deceptive travel signals that beckon us to mass graves hunger and executions, typhus and wars, internal ruin and external destruction.

The “science” of Diderot, Rousseau, D’Alembert and others has already completed its cycle: there was famine, there was terror, there were wars, and there was the external defeat of France in 1814, in 1871, in 1940. The science of Hegel, Mommsen, Nietzsche and Rosenberg also ended its cycle: there was terror, there were wars, there was famine and there was defeat in 1918 and 1945. The science of the Chernyshevskys, Lavrovs, Mikhailovskys, Milyukovs and Lenins has not yet gone through the whole cycle: there is hunger, there is terror, there were wars, both internal and external, but the defeat will still come: inevitable and inevitable, one more payment for the verbiage of two hundred years, for swamp lights lit by our masters of thoughts over the most rotten places of a real historical swamp.

Not always the philosophers listed by Solonevich themselves came up with ideas that could destroy society: they were often prompted to them.

V.A. Shemshuk "Return of Paradise to Earth"
======================

“With other European peoples, you can achieve the goal in humane ways, but not so with the Russians ... I am not dealing with people, but with animals that I want to turn into people” - such a documented phrase of Peter 1 very clearly conveys his attitude towards the Russian people.

It is hard to believe that these same "animals", in gratitude for this, called him the Great.
Russophobes will immediately try to explain everything by the fact that, yes, he made people out of animals, and only because of this Russia became Great and the “animals” that became people gratefully called him the Great.
Or maybe this is the gratitude of the owners of the Romanovs for the perfectly fulfilled obligations to destroy precisely the traces of the greatness of the Russian People, which haunted those who wanted to create a Great History for themselves, the ruling circles of the states, until recently the former provincial outlying provinces?
And it was this very Greatness of the Russian People that did not allow them to create it?

========================================

One can talk a lot and interestingly about Peter I. For example, today it is already known that his short but intense rule actually cost the Russian people more than 20 million lives (read the article by N.V. Levashov “Visible and invisible genocide” about this). Maybe that's why the man who is called today Peter I is now declared "great"?

Anyone interested in this topic can also watch the video:

The film "Peter and Peter" is just a few answers to hundreds of questions about the real deeds of the one who today is called "the great" Peter. This is an attempt to raise the most necessary questions and search for truthful answers to them, and not the stupidity and obvious lies that our historians and politicians give. The film is based on the materials of Academician N.V. Levashova, E.T. Byda and some other authors...

The king (!) prepared food for himself. When buying a boat, he bargained with the owner for a long time, until they agreed on 40 guilders and one (!) mug of beer, which they drank in a local tavern. two to one glass of beer?
In the works of the vice-president of the Russian Philosophical Society N.A. Chaldymov "Anthropological catastrophe" and the doctor of philosophy V.A. Shemshuk "On the satanic coup in Russia" also provide evidence in favor of a possible substitution of the sovereign.
Immediately upon the return of the king, all the "daily" records of Peter's childhood and youth disappeared from the court archives, in which any step of the king was noted: receptions of ambassadors, visits to churches, attendance at celebrations. It is unlikely that such a loss of the most important state documents was accidental. After all, there were letters and decrees of the young sovereign - and many of them were written with his own hand, that is, they could serve as samples of handwriting.
After his arrival, the new tsar suddenly "forgot" the Russian language - he spoke it poorly, and depicted Russian words in Latin letters. For several years he did not write letters on his own, but only dictated them.
He suddenly awakened a desire to change the history, not only of the palace, but of the entire state. He ordered that old handwritten books be removed from all monasteries and brought to Moscow, ostensibly for making copies. Failure to comply with the order threatened the death penalty (!). the books were burned, no copies were taken from them. After that, Peir invited German (!) Scientists to write the history of the Russian (!) State. The tradition continued under Anna Ioannovna, and under Catherine the Great. The history of Russia has been rewritten! And now the faithful Millerites, foaming at the mouth, are struggling in writhing, bringing us heresy that the Scythians came from Iran, about some kind of Tatar, and even Mongol yoke and other vocations of the Varangians, because, they say, the Russians have no "order", they cannot govern the state on their own, and "therefore they need a firm German hand" ("mein kampf"! - that's where Hitler got his crazy ideas from!)
Having returned from Europe, the tsar in every possible way avoided any meetings with close relatives - he did not even attend their weddings or funerals, during such events he tried to leave Moscow. Was this a manifestation of constant exposure?
An interesting picture is given by the surviving records of the Preobrazhensky Order, the predecessor of the Secret Chancellery, their Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts. More than 90% of the state criminals of that time were not conspirators, traitors or rebels, but those who spoke about the substitution of the king! Or did not inform, listening to such speeches.
It was they who represented the greatest danger and were persecuted and executed with particular cruelty.
An interesting detail: most punishments for speeches about an impostor fall precisely in the first years after the Great Embassy - that is, when the fear of a possible false king was especially strong.

According to the article by V. Svetlanin, "Secrets
20th century", №28 2015

According to various opinion polls, Peter I remains one of the most popular historical figures. He is still glorified by sculptors, poets compose odes to him, politicians speak enthusiastically about him.

But did the real person Pyotr Alekseevich Romanov correspond to the image that, through the efforts of writers and filmmakers, was introduced into our consciousness?

Frame from the film "Peter the Great" based on the novel by A. N. Tolstoy ("Lenfilm", 1937 - 1938, directed by Vladimir Petrov,
in the role of Peter - Nikolai Simonov, in the role of Menshikov - Mikhail Zharov):

This post is quite lengthy. , consisting of several parts, is dedicated to exposing the myths about the pen of the Russian emperor, which still roam from book to book, from textbook to textbook, and from film to film.

Let's start with the fact that the majority represents Peter I absolutely not the way he really was.

According to the films, Peter is a huge man with a heroic physique and the same health.
In fact, with a height of 2 meters 4 centimeters (really huge in those days, and very impressive in our times), he was incredibly thin, with narrow shoulders and torso, a disproportionately small head and leg size (about 37 sizes, and this despite such and such height!), with long arms and spider-like fingers. In general, an absurd, awkward, clumsy figure, a freak of a freak.

The clothes of Peter I, which have survived to this day in museums, are so small that there can be no talk of any heroic physique. In addition, Peter suffered from nervous attacks, probably of an epileptic nature, he was constantly ill, he never parted with a first-aid kit with a lot of medicines that he took daily.

Do not trust the court portrait painters and sculptors of Peter.
For example, a well-known researcher of the Petrine era, historian E. F. Shmurlo (1853 - 1934) describes his impression of the famous bust of Peter I by B. F. Rastrelli:

"Full of spiritual power, unyielding will, an imperious gaze, intense thought make this bust related to Michelangelo's Moses. This is a truly formidable king, capable of causing awe, but at the same time majestic, noble."

Otdako more accurately conveys the appearance of Peter plaster mask taken from his face in 1718 father of the great architect B. K. Rastrelli when the king was investigating the betrayal of Tsarevich Alexei.

This is how the artist describes it A. N. Benois (1870 - 1960):“Peter’s face became at that time gloomy, directly terrifying with its menacingness. One can imagine what impression this terrible head, placed on a giant body, must have produced, while still shifting eyes and terrible convulsions that turned this face into a monstrously fantastic image.

Of course, the real appearance of Peter I was completely different from what appears before us on his formal portraits.
For example, these:

Portrait of Peter I (1698) by a German artist
Gottfried Kneller (1648 - 1723)

Portrait of Peter I with the signs of the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called (1717)
works by the French painter Jean-Marc Nattier (1685 - 1766)

Please note that between the writing of this portrait and the manufacture of the lifetime mask of Peter
Rastrelli has only been a year. What, are they similar?

The most popular at present and highly romanticized
according to the time of creation (1838) portrait of Peter I
works by French artist Paul Delaroche (1797 - 1856)

Trying to be objective, I cannot fail to note that monument to Peter I , works of the sculptor Mikhail Shemyakin , made by him in the USA and installed in the Peter and Paul Fortress in 1991 , also corresponds little to the real image of the first Russian emperor, although, quite possibly, the sculptor sought to embody the same "monstrously fantastic image" about which Benoit spoke.

Yes, Peter's face was made from his death wax mask (cast by B. K. Rastrelli). But Mikhail Shemyakin at the same time consciously, achieving a certain effect, increased the proportions of the body by almost one and a half times. Therefore, the monument turned out to be grotesque and ambiguous (some people admire it, while others hate it).

However, the very figure of Peter I is also very ambiguous, about which I want to tell everyone who is interested in Russian history.

At the end of this part another myth about death of Peter I .

Peter did not die because he caught a cold, saving a boat with drowning people during a flood in St. Petersburg in November 1724 (although there really was such a case, and it led to an exacerbation of the tsar's chronic illnesses); and not from syphilis (although from his youth, Peter was extremely promiscuous in his relationships with women and had a whole bunch of venereal diseases); and not from the fact that he was poisoned by some "specially donated sweets" - all these are widespread myths.
The official version, announced after the death of the emperor, according to which the cause of his death was pneumonia, does not hold water.

In reality, Peter I had a neglected inflammation of the urethra (he had suffered from this disease since 1715, according to some sources, even since 1711). The disease worsened in August 1724. The attending physicians, the Englishman Gorn and the Italian Lazzaretti, unsuccessfully tried to cope with it. From January 17, 1725, Peter did not get out of bed, on January 23 he lost consciousness, into which he never returned until his death on January 28.

"Peter on his deathbed"
(artist N. N. Nikitin, 1725)

The doctors performed the operation, but it was too late, 15 hours after it, Peter I died without regaining consciousness and without leaving a will.

So, all the stories about how at the last moment the dying emperor tried to draw his will on his will last will, but only managed to write "Leave everything..." , are also nothing more than a myth, or if you want a legend.

In the next short part so as not to make you sad, I will bring historical anecdote about Peter I , which, however, also refers to the myths about this ambiguous personality.

Thank you for attention.
Sergei Vorobyov.

One of the reasons that led to the emergence of the version about the substitution of Tsar Peter I was the research of A.T. Fomenko and G.V. Nosovsky

The beginning of these studies were the findings made during the study of an exact copy of the throne of Ivan the Terrible. In those days, the signs of the zodiac of the current rulers were placed on the thrones. Thanks to the study of the signs placed on the throne of Ivan the Terrible, scientists have found that the actual date of his birth differs from the official version by four years.

Scientists compiled a table of the names of Russian tsars and their birthdays, and thanks to this table, it was revealed that the official birthday of Peter I does not coincide with the day of his angel, which is a blatant contradiction compared to all the names of Russian tsars. After all, names in Russia at baptism were given exclusively according to the calendar, and the name given to Peter breaks the established centuries-old tradition, which in itself does not fit into the framework and laws of that time.

A. Fomenko and G. Nosovsky, on the basis of the table, found out that the real name, which falls on the official date of birth of Peter I, is Isakiy. This explains the name of the main cathedral. tsarist Russia. So, in the dictionary of Brockhaus and Efron it says: “St. Isaac's Cathedral is the main temple in St. Petersburg, dedicated to the name of St. Isaac of Dalmatia, whose memory is honored on May 30, the birthday of Peter the Great.

Let's consider the following obvious historical facts. Their totality shows a fairly clear picture of the substitution of the real Peter I for a foreigner:

1. An Orthodox ruler was leaving Russia for Europe, wearing traditional Russian clothes. Two surviving portraits of the king of that time depict Peter I in a traditional caftan. The tsar wore a caftan even during his stay at the shipyards, which confirms his adherence to traditional Russian customs. After the end of his stay in Europe, a man returned to Russia wearing exclusively European-style clothes, and in the future new peter I never put on Russian clothes, including the obligatory attribute for the tsar - royal vestments. This fact is difficult to explain with the official version of a sudden change in lifestyle and the beginning of adherence to the European canons of development.

2. There are quite weighty grounds for doubting the difference in the structure of the body of Peter I and the impostor. According to accurate data, the growth of the impostor Peter I was 204 cm, while the real king was shorter and denser. It should be noted that the height of his father, Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov, was 170 cm, and his grandfather, Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov, was also of average height. The difference in height of 34 cm is very much out of the general picture of true kinship, especially since in those days people over two meters tall were considered an extremely rare occurrence. Indeed, even in the middle of the nineteenth century, the average height of Europeans was 167 cm, and the average height of Russian recruits in early XVIII century was 165 cm, which fits into the general anthropometric picture of that time. The difference in height between the real king and the false Peter also explains the refusal to wear royal clothes: they simply did not fit the size of the newly appeared impostor.

3. The portrait of Peter I by Godfried Kneller, which was created during the tsar's stay in Europe, clearly shows a distinct mole. In later portraits, the mole is absent. It is difficult to explain this by the inaccurate works of portrait painters of that time: after all, the portraiture of those years was distinguished by the highest level of realism.

4. Returning after a long trip to Europe, the newly-minted tsar did not know about the location of the richest library of Ivan the Terrible, although the secret of finding the library was passed from tsar to tsar. So, Princess Sophia knew where the library was and visited it, and the new Peter repeatedly made attempts to find the library and did not even disdain excavations: after all, the library of Ivan the Terrible kept the rarest publications that could shed light on many secrets of history.

5. An interesting fact is the composition of the Russian embassy that went to Europe. The number of those accompanying the king was 20 people, while the embassy was headed by A. Menshikov. And the returned embassy consisted, with the exception of Menshikov, only of the subjects of Holland. Moreover, the duration of the trip has increased many times over. The embassy, ​​together with the king, went to Europe for two weeks, and returned only after two years of stay.

6. Returning from Europe, the new king did not meet either with relatives or with his inner circle. And subsequently, in a short time, he got rid of his closest relatives in various ways.

7. Sagittarius - the guards and the elite of the tsarist army - suspected something was wrong and did not recognize the impostor. The streltsy rebellion that had begun was brutally suppressed by Peter. But the archers were the most advanced and combat-ready military formations that faithfully served the Russian tsars. Sagittarius became by inheritance, which indicates the highest level these divisions.

It is characteristic that the scale of the destruction of archers was more global than according to official sources. At that time, the number of archers reached 20,000 people, and after the pacification of the streltsy rebellion, the Russian army was left without infantry, after which a new set of recruits was made and the army was completely reorganized. A noteworthy fact is also the fact that in honor of the suppression of the Streltsy rebellion, a commemorative medal was issued with inscriptions on Latin, which had never before been used in the minting of coins and medals in Russia.

8. Imprisonment of the lawful wife of Evdokia Lopukhina in a monastery, which the tsar did in absentia, while in the Great Embassy in London. Moreover, after the death of Peter, Lopukhina, by order of Catherine I, was transferred to the Shlisselburg fortress, which was famous for its harsh conditions of detention. Subsequently, Peter will marry Martha Samuilovna Skavronskaya-Kruse, who comes from the lower classes, who after his death will become Empress Catherine I.

Now let's consider what the greatest steps were made by the newly-minted tsar for Russia.

All official versions claim that Peter I was the greatest reformer who laid the foundations for the formation of the most powerful Russian Empire. In fact, the main activity of the impostor was to destroy the foundations of the former statehood and the spirituality of the people. Among the most famous great "deeds" of Peter there are both well-known and little-known facts that testify to the true appearance and reforms of the new king.

- Introduction of the Russian form of slavery- serfdom, which completely restricts the rights of peasants both in the old and in the conquered lands. In one form or another, the consolidation of peasants has existed since the 15th century, but Peter I carried out a tough reform in relation to the peasants, completely depriving them of their rights. A remarkable fact is the fact that neither in the Russian North nor in Siberia serfdom was widespread.

- Carrying out tax reform with the introduction of the most severe tax system. In parallel, the replacement of small silver money for copper began to be carried out. Having created the Ingrian Chancellery, headed by Menshikov, Peter introduced ruinous taxes, which included taxes on private fishing, wearing a beard, baths. Moreover, adherents of the old rites were subject to a double tax, which served as an additional incentive for the resettlement of the Old Believers in the most remote places in Siberia.

- Introduction to Russia new system reckoning, which put an end to the countdown "from the creation of the world." This innovation had a strong negative impact and became an additional incentive for the gradual eradication of the original Old Believer faith.

- Transfer of the capital from Moscow to the built St. Petersburg. The mention of Moscow as an ancient sacred place is found in many sources, including Daniil Andreev in his work "Rose of the World". The change of the capital also served to weaken spirituality and reduce the role of the merchants in Russia.

The destruction of ancient Russian chronicles and the beginning of rewriting the history of Russia with the help of German professors. This activity has acquired a truly gigantic scale, which explains the minimum number of surviving historical documents.

- Rejection of Russian writing, which consisted of 151 characters, and the introduction of the new alphabet of Cyril and Methodius, which consisted of 43 characters. With this, Peter dealt a severe blow to the traditions of the people and cut off access to ancient written sources.

- Cancellation of Russian measures of measurement, such as sazhen, elbow, vershok, which subsequently caused the strongest changes in traditional Russian architecture and art.

- Reducing the influence of the merchants and the development of the industrial class, who was given gigantic powers, up to creating their own pocket armies.

- The most brutal military expansion into Siberia, which became the forerunner of the final destruction of the Great Tartaria. In parallel, a new religion was planted on the conquered lands, and the lands were heavily taxed. The peak of the looting of Siberian burials, the destruction of holy places and local clergy also falls on the time of Peter. It was under Petrine rule in Western Siberia Numerous detachments of bugrovs appeared, who, in search of gold and silver, opened up old burials and plundered holy and sacred places. Many of the most valuable "finds" made up the famous collection of Scythian gold of Peter I.

- Destruction of the system of Russian self-government- zemstvos and the transition to a bureaucratic system, which, as a rule, was headed by hirelings from Western Europe.

- The most severe repressions against the Russian clergy, the actual destruction of Orthodoxy. The scale of repression against the clergy was global. One of the most significant punishers of Peter was his close associate Yakov Bruce, who became famous for punitive expeditions to Old Believer sketes and the destruction of old church books and property.

- The widespread distribution of narcotic drugs in Russia that cause rapid and persistent addiction - alcohol, coffee and tobacco.

- A complete ban on the cultivation of amaranth from which both butter and bread were made. This plant contributes not only to improving human health, but also prolongs life by 20-30%.

- The introduction of the system of provinces and the strengthening of the punitive role of the army. Often the right to collect taxes was given directly into the hands of the generals. And each province was obliged to maintain separate military units.

- The actual ruin of the population. So, A.T. Fomenko and G.V. Nosovsky indicate that according to the 1678 census, 791,000 households were subject to taxation. And the general census conducted in 1710 showed only 637,000 households, and this despite the rather large number of lands subordinated to Russia during this period. Characteristically, but this only affected the strengthening of tax taxes. So, in the provinces, where the number of households decreased, taxes were levied according to the data of the old census, which led to the actual plunder and destruction of the population.

- Peter I also distinguished himself by his atrocities in Ukraine. So, in 1708, the hetman's capital, the city of Baturyn, was completely plundered and destroyed. More than 14,000 people out of the city's 20,000 population were killed in the massacre. At the same time, Baturin was almost completely destroyed and burned, and 40 churches and monasteries were looted and desecrated.

Contrary to popular belief, Peter I was by no means a great military leader: de facto, he did not win a single significant war. The only "successful" campaign can be considered only northern war, which was rather sluggish in nature and lasted for 21 years. This war caused irreparable damage to the financial system of Russia and led to the actual impoverishment of the population.

One way or another, all the atrocities of Peter, called in the official versions of history " reform activities", were aimed at the complete eradication of both the culture and faith of the Russian people, and the culture and religion of the peoples living in the annexed territories. In fact, the newly-minted tsar caused irreparable damage to Russia, completely changing its culture, way of life and customs.

There is enough interesting story about the fact that when the writer Alexei Nikolayevich Tolstoy was working on his novel "Peter the Great", he was faced with the rather unusual fact that the greatest of Russian monarchs, the pride of the Romanov family, has nothing to do with either the family name or the Russian nationality in general!

This fact excited the writer extremely, and he, taking advantage of his acquaintance with another great dictator, and remembering the fate of other, careless writers, decided to turn to him for advice, especially since the information was in a sense quite close to the leader.

The information was provocative and ambiguous, Alexei Nikolaevich brought a document to Stalin, namely a certain letter, which clearly indicated that Peter I, in his origin, was not at all Russian, as was previously thought, but a Georgian!

Remarkably, Stalin was not at all surprised by such an unusual incident. Moreover, after reading the documents, he asked Tolstoy to hide this fact in order not to give him the opportunity to become public, arguing his desire quite simply: “Let us leave them at least one “Russian” that they can be proud of!”

And recommending that the document inherited by Tolstoy be destroyed. The act, it would seem, is strange, if you remember that Joseph Vissarionovich himself was a Georgian by birth. But if you look, it is absolutely logical from the point of view of the position of the leader of the peoples, since it is known that Stalin considered himself Russian! How else would he call himself the leader of the Russian people?

Information after this meeting, it would seem, should have been buried forever, but no offense to Alexei Nikolaevich, and he, like any writer, was an extremely sociable person, was told to a narrow circle of acquaintances, and there, according to the snowball principle, it was spread like a virus across to all the minds of the intelligentsia of that time.

What was the letter that was supposed to disappear? Most likely, we are talking about a letter from Darya Archilovna Bagration-Mukhranskaya, daughter of the King of Imereti Archil II, to her cousin, the daughter of the Mingrelian prince Dadiani.

The letter refers to a certain prophecy she heard from the Georgian queen: “My mother told me about a certain Matveev, who had a prophetic dream in which Saint George the Victorious appeared to him and said to him: You have been chosen to inform the king about what is in Muscovy must be born to the "KING OF KINGS" who will make her great empire. He was supposed to be born from the alien Orthodox Tsar of Iberian from that tribe of David, which is the Mother of God. And the daughters of Cyril Naryshkin, pure in heart. Disobeying this command - to be a great pestilence. The will of God is the will."

The prophecy unequivocally hinted at the urgent need for such an event, but another problem could really serve such a turn of events.

The beginning of the end of the Romanov family

To understand the reasons for such a written appeal, it is necessary to turn to history and remember that the Moscow kingdom at that time was a kingdom without a king, and the acting king, the monarch Alexei Mikhailovich, could not cope with the role assigned to him.

In fact, the country was ruled by Prince Miloslavsky, mired in palace intrigues, a swindler and adventurer.

Ivan Mazepa and Peter I: towards the restoration of knowledge about the Ukrainian hetman and his entourage

Day 28.11.2008

Vladimir Putin is a good king

La Nacion Argentina 01/26/2016 Aleksey Mikhailovich was a weak and frail man, he was surrounded by people mostly church people, to whose opinion he listened. One of these was Artamon Sergeevich Matveev, who, being a difficult person, knew how to exert the necessary pressure on the tsar in order to induce him to do things that the tsar was not ready for. In fact, Matveev led the tsar with his tips, being a kind of prototype of "Rasputin" at court.

Matveev's plan was simple: it was necessary to help the tsar get rid of his kinship with the Miloslavskys and put "his" heir on the throne...

So in March 1669, after giving birth, the wife of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, Maria Ilyinichna Miloslavskaya, died.

After that, it was Matveev who betrothed Alexei Mikhailovich to the Crimean Tatar princess Natalya Kirillovna Naryshkina, the daughter of the Crimean Tatar murza Ismail Narysh, who at that time lived in Moscow and for convenience wore the name Kirill, quite convenient for the pronunciation of the local nobility.

It remained to resolve the issue with the heir, since the children born from the first wife were as frail as the tsar himself, and, according to Matveev, they were unlikely to pose a threat.

In other words, as soon as the tsar was married to Princess Naryshkina, the question arose of an heir, and since at that time the tsar was seriously ill and physically weak, and his children turned out to be frail, it was decided to find a replacement for him, and that's when the Georgian prince fell into the hands of the conspirators ...

Who is Peter's father?

There are actually two theories, two great Georgian princes from the Bagration family are registered in Peter's fathers, these are:

Archil II (1647-1713) - king of Imereti (1661-1663, 1678-1679, 1690-1691, 1695-1696, 1698) and Kakheti (1664-1675), lyric poet, eldest son of King Vakhtang V of Kartli. One of founders of the Georgian colony in Moscow.

Heraclius I (Nazarali Khan; 1637 or 1642 - 1709) - king of Kartli (1688-1703), king of Kakheti (1703-1709). Son of Prince David (1612-1648) and Elena Diasamidze (d. 1695), grandson of King Teimuraz I of Kartli and Kakheti.

And in fact, after a little investigation, I am forced to bow that it was Heraclius who could become the father, because it was Heraclius who stayed in Moscow at the time suitable for the conception of the king, and Archil moved to Moscow only in 1681.

Tsarevich Irakli was known in Russia under the name Nikolai, which was more convenient for the local people, and his patronymic was Davydovich. Heraclius was close to Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, and even at the wedding of the Tsar and the Tatar princess, he was appointed thousandth, that is, the main manager of the wedding celebrations.

It is fair to say that the duties of the thousandth also included becoming the godfather of the wedding couple. But by the will of fate, the Georgian prince helped the Tsar of Moscow not only with the choice of a name for the first-born, but also with the conception of it.

At the christening of the future emperor, in 1672, Heraclius fulfilled his duty and named the baby Peter, and in 1674 he left Russia, taking the throne of the principality of Kakheti, however, to receive this title, he had to accept Islam.

Version two, doubtful

According to the second version, the father of the future autocrat in 1671 was the king of Imereti Archil II, who had been visiting the court for several months and fled from the pressure of Persia, who was practically forced to visit the princess’s bedroom under pressure, convincing him that, according to divine providence, his participation was necessary in an extremely charitable deed, namely, the conception of "the one who was expected."

Perhaps it was the dream of the practically holy man Matveyev that made the most noble Orthodox tsar enter the young princess.

The relationship between Peter and Archil can be evidenced by the fact that the official heir to the Georgian monarch, Prince Alexander, became the first general Russian army of Georgian origin, served with Peter in amusing regiments and died for the emperor in Swedish captivity.

And the other children of Archil: Matvey, David and sister Daria (Dargen) received from Peter such preferences as lands in Russia, and were kindly treated by him in every possible way. In particular, the fact is known that Peter went to celebrate his victory in the village of All Saints, the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe current Sokol, to his sister Daria!

The wave of mass migration of the Georgian elite to Moscow is also connected with this period in the life of the country. As proof of the relationship between the Georgian king Archil II and Peter I, they also cite the fact captured in the letter of the monarch to the Russian princess Naryshkina, in which he writes: “How is our rascal doing?”

Although "our rascal" can be said about Tsarevich Nikolai, and about Peter, as a representative of the Bagration family. The second version is also supported by the fact that Peter I was surprisingly similar to the Imeretian king Archil II. Both were truly gigantic for that time, with identical facial features and characters, although the same version can be used as proof of the first, since the Georgian princes were in direct relationship.

Everyone knew and everyone was silent

It seems that everyone knew about the relatives of the king at that time. So Princess Sophia wrote to Prince Golitsyn: “You can’t give power to a Basurman!”

Peter's mother, Natalya Naryshkina, was also terribly afraid of what she had done, and repeatedly stated: "He cannot be a king!"

And the tsar himself, at the moment when the Georgian princess was being married to him, declared publicly: “I won’t marry namesakes!”

Visual similarity, no other evidence needed

This must be seen. Remember from history: not a single Moscow tsar was distinguished by either height or Slavic appearance, but Peter is the most special of them.

According to historical documents, Peter I was quite tall even by today's standards, since his height reached two meters, but what is strange - at the same time he wore shoes of 38 sizes, and the size of his clothes was 48! But, nevertheless, it was these features that he inherited from his Georgian relatives, since this description fit the Bagration family with accuracy. Peter was a pure European!

But not even visually, but in character, Peter definitely did not belong to the Romanov family, in all his habits he was a real Caucasian.

Yes, he inherited the unthinkable cruelty of the Moscow tsars, but this feature could have come to him on the maternal side, since their whole family was more Tatar than Slavic, and it was this trait that gave him the opportunity to turn a fragment of the horde into a European state.

Output

Peter I was not Russian, but he was a Russian, because despite his not entirely correct origin, he was still of royal blood, but he did not ascend to the Romanov family, much less to the Ruriks.

Perhaps it was not the Horde origin that made him a reformer and a real emperor, who turned the county Horde principality of Muscovy into Russian empire, even if at the same time he had to borrow the history of one of the occupied territories, but we will talk about this in the next story.
