Everyone is scared of releasing the lowest tier of peoples, since tyrants always create their own destruction. Sadly, the Russian nobility found out multiple times.
Holy macaroni! I can not help it, but have you notice the nails(claws) on the person at 2:03 ?
Lets just agree that this "man" have never done any work in his life..
Excellent
I love Her ❤❤❤❤ 🥲
Catherine was responsible for promoting early vaccine development for small pox. That's pretty enlightened.
You talk slower than Flash Slothmore in Zootopia.
FAITH is not about obey the priest or the church's authority in our modern secular civilization. FAITH is about facing facts. What is human nature about. Humans feel happy when they are loved. There are thousand milion things to love.. except being jerks. Starting with a garden, a private haven, something you create with your own hands, the connection with the soil generosity and vegetal forms of life. Seeking for the personal achievement instead of feeling envious, provide for your own satisfaction starting with ..food, gardening, having your own crops production and don't bather the others fortune. Still today on web connection the hardest thing to explain is…human nature. Spiritual asset is going much far beyond any material posession giving you the true power as a human, if you lose everything, you can always start all over again building up an empire because you know how to do it…not screwing the others goods or belongings. Not by creating new enemies to live in fear forever afterwards. FAITH is protecting us from the evil within, each one of us feels like frustration and rage might overwhelme over any self control… it's very human. It feels like Superman holding super human powers, keep it frustration under control…if more people would have the courage to…care to keep rage under control. ..yeah. Most people having alcoholism problems can not control rage or anger, we all know that by now. But then we have the most adorable Russian guy to cheer us up next, it's called Tchaikovsky and he is the prove, good Russians exist. Let's invite everybody enjoy his music, he was Walt Disney most favorite composer and a hope for the Russian healing
Minute 16:01, it's amusing to realize that certain traditions in Russia are still so strong all across the centuries, getting drunk and mistreat the wives, alcoholism give sons terrible neurological damages…Russians are having big problems about it. Sons are like usual, not very welcomed ones, most of them out of the marriage, still today, Moscow orphans hospitals are filled of not wanted babies. But then, like the last Navalny's tragedy, the rival in business must end behind bars and…poisoned later on. It's terrible to realize that three centuries later, nothing changed 😢😢😢 exploring History and trying to understand things can help us manage the future. When we all pay the price of the Russian never ending madness, what is power about in the end. The freedom to become war criminals and mass murderers and…get away with murder, the power to be untouchables or ..what? Very sad indeed 😢😢😢
Every shadow, every scream behind closed doors — you helped us hear them.
the greatest oppression of the peasants and the largest uprising of the Peasants with the Cossacks occurred during her reign.
Could you do a doco on the drunken gluttonous womanising cold blooded killer, henry the eighth exposing his many evil doings .
Catherine created the Pale of Settlement where Poland-Lithuania's Jews lived in the regions of the Commonwealth.
if she is lucky she kills mornarchs and the celt kills her the celt always kills her.
she was a knight.
enemy of the people.
"Great" and "good" are not necessarily – indeed usually – synonymous!
😲 Catherine the great was a historical and legendary personification of duality in Human Nature, little different from the rest of us mere mortals. Who among Us can honestly say what decisions we would have made during her era and under her empires circumstances?
I think you'll have a very hard time finding a ruling couple more different in terms of character and personalities than Tsar Peter III and Catherine the Great.
If you haven't seen "The Great" go do it immediately. I haven't laughed that hard in ages sadly it was discontinued 😢
Why was Catherine Great?
Because she was German
I enjoyed very much. Thank you.
I heard she loved very big horses and not for riding !!
What an astonishing work, this video is!
She was an enlightened ruler
Paul is questionably even a Romanov. so the Emperors after Catherine is prob isnt a Romanov,
One of the 1st major cultural appropriations..and cougars.. in history…😅
