"Ancient Moscow" was built by St. Petersburg in the 19th century

Summing up the results of the cycle of investigation of forged maps of the Russian Empire and Moscow, it was concluded that the Russian Empire was actually created only in the 19th century, and Moscow as the "second capital" was built after 1813. Now let's check these assumptions.

From the point of view of the logistics of waterways, I estimate the location of Moscow at a C at best, well, until the 19th century, it had no reason to become not only a capital, but at least a more or less significant city:

1. Communication with the seas is worse than that of Moscow, it is difficult to find on the map, one can say the position of Moscow - the backyard of civilization, a remote province. This can be clearly seen on the map of river basins (clickable):

For example, if you need to get to Kiev or Smolensk from the Black Sea, then it is impossible to miss, you just need to find the mouth of the Dnieper and climb it. But in order to reach Moscow, it will be necessary to follow the Dnieper above Smolensk, find the mouth of the Vyazma River and climb along it to the city of the same name, there, by dragging, cross into the Ugra River, along it go down to the Oka near Kaluga, then downstream the Oka to the city of Kolomna, which controls the mouth of the Moskva River, to rise against the Moskva River to the mouth of the inconspicuous Neglinnaya River, and there, in the forests and swamps, find the very coveted place where in the 19th century the St. Petersburg people built the huge capital city Moscow, the world champion in area.

It's easier to get from the Caspian Sea to Moscow, though all the time against the current: first along the Volga, near Nizhny Novgorod, we turn left into the Oka and near Kolomna to the right into the Moscow River, and there we fly some 150 kilometers along the river and arrived.

From the Baltic Sea, for example, from St. Petersburg along the Neva and Volkhov to Veliky Novgorod, then we ascend along the Msta river, overcome the Borovichi rapids (Nizhny Volochek) by portage, then through the Upper Volochek by portage to the Tsna and Tvertsa rivers, we go down to the Volga, find the mouth of the Lama river, go up to Volok Lamsky and from there, naturally, dragged into the Voloshnya River, then into the Ruza River, which flows into the Moskva River and we are almost at our destination.

In general, it seems clear how frail international trade relations could be with such labyrinths of river routes.

2. If we assess the position of modern Moscow within the entire Volga basin, then Nizhny Novgorod and Kazan are most suitable for the role of the capital. If we take into account only the Oka basin, then in any case Kaluga, Kolomna or Nizhny Novgorod will win. By the way, Kolomna is most suitable for the role of ancient Moscow.

3. Now let us assess the importance of the location of modern Moscow only on the way from Volok Lamskoe to Kolomna, which in this case are key cities, and Moscow is the same ordinary intermediate point between them as Zvenigorod, Mozhaisk and Ruza, in which there were very modest fortifications, from which by now almost nothing has remained, only earthen ramparts and in some places churches. Actually, in terms of trade, transport and economic importance, there should have been similar modest fortifications in the place of modern Moscow.

Kolomna is a completely different matter, because it controls not only the Moskva River, but also the Oka, which surpassed the Volga in abundance. Therefore, the Kolomna Kremlin is not like the frail Zvenigorod, Mozhaisky, Ruzsky and apparently real "Moscow" fortifications, Kolomna has a decent size:

Reading the information about Kolomna, one gets the full impression that it was once that very ancient Moscow, the capital of Moscow Tartary, and after the war of 1812, the Romanov falsifiers - "reenactors" stole her name, history and much more. Let's see at least the names on the diagram:

The Sviblov, Spasskaya, Taynitskaya towers are also in the Moscow Kremlin, the Water Gate = Vodovzvodnaya Tower. It is interesting that the name of the Marinkina tower is from Marina Mnishek. Until I develop here in detail the hypothesis that Kolomna is the real ancient Moscow, I will add just recently, I grunted sarcastically when I learned that the Kolomna Kremlin had become the winner in the second round of the competition for the symbols of Russia: "With one wall? Didn't you find a better one?" But now it's not funny at all, it struck a lot from what was discovered …

Let's go back to modern Moscow. If from the analysis of maps and plans stated in the previous notes it follows that the Romanovs-Oldenburgskys started a grandiose construction on this place after 1813 and painted the antiquity of the city with forged documents, then we need to take their point of view, simulate the game for the "blue", "sea "," St. Petersburg "and check your assumptions.

In the Russian Empire, there was a phenomenon, perhaps unique in all world history, of three capitals at once: "old / ancient capital" - Moscow, "new capital" - St. Petersburg, "third capital" - Tver. Why these three most important cities are located precisely in these places and reflect the successive stages of the penetration of the sea civilization "into the earth", the Logistic theory of civilization quite unambiguously explains:

1. "New Capital" St. Petersburg built by the Romanovs-Oldenburgskys in an extremely unsuitable place for a seaport (see "Stupid Petersburg"). But only from this point of the Baltic Sea, from the Neva delta, the configuration of the existing river network made it possible to conduct three direct waterways at once into the inland (having no connection with the World Ocean) Volga basin (see "Petersburg is irreplaceable") and gain access to new useful resources, which was successfully completed by the Romanov-Oldenburgskys in the period from 1763 to 1812:

Vyshnevolotsk, Tikhvin and Mariinsky water systems

2. "The third capital" Tver became the end point of the oldest, most important and shortest Vyshnevolotsk water system created under Catherine-2. Located on the Volga, Tver already provided access for the "St. Petersburg" to the entire river basin, but the river basin of the Oka, the most important tributary of the Volga, was still inaccessible due to the long length of river routes.

That is why the war of 1812 was planned against Muscovy, Moscow Tartary to capture the territories of the Moscow-Smolensk Upland, that is, the Oka basin and the upper reaches of the Dnieper basin.

Shortly before the war, the status of Tver was raised to the level of the capital: by 1809, the Imperial Palace was being built in Tver, and Their Imperial Highnesses, the spouses Catherine and Georgy of Oldenburg, moved there. Following Georgy Oldenburgsky, the "Expedition of Water Communications" headed by him moved from St. Petersburg to Tver, the Corps of Military Engineers was created under martial law, that is, Tver was transformed into the forward command post of the "St. Petersburg" forces. By the way, it is in Tver that Karamzin periodically reads to the Oldenburgsky spouses the "History of the Russian State" created at that time. The characteristic of Tver as a capital city belongs personally to Emperor Alexander-1, who, when discussed with the spouses of Oldenburg and the architect K. I. Rossi of the city reconstruction project set the task for “Tver to become the third capital of the empire”.

3. "Old / ancient capital" Moscow is located in such a strange place, which, as already discussed in detail earlier, in no way, from the point of view of river communications, is suitable for either a capital or a significant city.

Another example: in 1817, a monument to Minin and Pozharsky was transported by water from St. Petersburg to Moscow. The length of the path is 2760 km, the travel time is 3.5 months, and this is "with approximate success"!

In fact, the Moskva River without special dams is not at all adapted for more or less decent navigation, here is a photo of the early 20th century, pay attention to the people in the middle of the river, the water does not even reach their knees:

And the Romanovs-Oldenburgskys could not fail to understand this essential disadvantage of Moscow's location.

The secret is that the true reasons for the location of the "ancient capital" in this place are due to the logistics of land communications at the beginning of the 19th century: the construction of highways and railways, the development prospects of which Alexander-1 probably knew, since he was the closest relative of the British Hanoverian dynasty, under the vigilant the supervision of which then intensively developed the widespread use of steam engines, including on the railways (railways already existed in the mines of England).

Now we know everything to formulate the requirements for the location of the new "old capital" of Muscovy of the Russian Empire of the Romanov-Oldenburgskys:

1. The land road to the new "old capital" should be as straight as possible in order to save manpower and money during construction, operation and to minimize costs / time to overcome

2. The overland road to the new "old capital" should be as short as possible: to reach the nearest significant river in the Oka basin, since this also achieves the most economical opportunity to further lay land communications along the watersheds in all directions of the developed territory

3. The land road to the new "old capital" must necessarily pass through the key "third capital" of Tver

A logistical challenge? Elementary Watson! We take a ruler, put it on the map and draw a straight line from St. Petersburg through Tver to the intersection with the Moskva River:

Voila! What was required to prove: we found the most economical in terms of land logistics of the "PETERSKIKH" of the 19th century, the location of the "old capital" - only 638 kilometers of fast year-round communication by rail instead of 2,760 km of a slow track only during the navigation period. It is here that Moscow is located now.

comparison of the length of the path from Tver to Moscow by land and by water

And it is not at all a problem that a logistically convenient place for us is called Kolomna, next to which Kolomenskoye, near Moscow, is quite naturally located. From now on we will call this city "our ancient capital" Moscow, and the real old Moscow located at the mouth of the Moskva River will be called Kolomna. Peace is war, war is peace.

And more horror films describing the fire of "Moscow", vandalism of the "French" and other things, if only there were no questions why the commission "On the building of Moscow" worked for 30 years (from 1813 to 1843)?

So after all, the "fire of Moscow" is a tough guy, everything burned out, three suede jackets are all chronicles, which Karamzin carefully rewrote personally for the first time in history, foreseeing their loss;-)

Well, in order to eat into the liver, you need to repeat more often (repetition is the mother of learning) and more pictures (people do not like to read and think, pictures work well on him): "Plan of the Ancient Capital City of Moscow", "Plan of the Capital City of Moscow", " Plan of New Moscow ". And we will inflate such a bubble that no one will doubt that this is the huge capital of a huge empire!

What kind of Smolensk is there on the Dnieper of the 19th century, a fucking pearl? The technologies of the historical "photoshop" were invented long ago, here is the world champion in size, Moscow of the 16th century is 10 times larger in area:
