Terra Incognita

« At the time when Pompey the Great fought against Mithridates the Tsar of Pontus, the RUSSIANS (THEY ARE MOSCOWITS), under the leadership of their sovereign Tasovaz or Tazius, inflicted a strong defeat on the Tsar of Pontus, being allies of the Roman state … Roman, went inside into Mysia, and there they killed Agrippa, the steward and the president; and from that time they settled down in Mizia Illyricheskaya, calling it Rashia (Serbia) "

(Mavro Orbini, Capuchin monk, author of the book "Slavic Kingdom" 16th century.)

Many, many years ago, ancient people knew only one part of the world, washed by one Sea-Ocean. Time passed and the appearance of the planet changed. At the end of the 15th century, the era of geographical discoveries began, after Christopher Columbus discovered America. What the reader considers to be a person's name is actually his profession and destiny. Christopherus is a "cross-bearer" or, as we are used to, a "crusader". Columbus is "the frontrunner or the pioneer." The person described under that name was never what history has portrayed to us. It is completely different. I will definitely tell you about it in the next miniature. I will say one thing for now, he is not a European, in the sense of the word that we now apply to the inhabitants of the Western part of the vast Asian continent, strangely divided along the Ural Mountains. Let the reader raise the description of the concept of the mainland and try to find similarities with Europe. In my opinion, there is no continent of Europe and never has been, but it may still be. While this is a common slyness, like about Israel, whose national team is playing in the European championship.

The theme of this miniature will be the discoveries of each of us, the facts that lie on the surface of human existence.

Around the 14th century, the science of cartography was born and began to develop, thanks to which maps of the earth's surface appeared. Open lands began to be applied to them, as well as still unknown and even imaginary ones. The unexplored lands were designated on the maps "terra incognita", which in Latin means "unknown land". For a long time, Tycho de Brahe (1546-1601), a Danish astronomer, was considered the creator of this term. However, this version is a little erroneous, because it is known that the expression "terra incognita" appeared even before the birth of Tycho de Brahe. For example, on a map issued in Poland by Jan Stobnicki in 1522, a huge area southeast of Asia was marked as "terra incognita", and earlier maps contain images of Great Tartary, with all the details. And yet, this country is the real Terra Incognito - the Land of the Unknown, Mysterious and unexplored.

I'll start with a rhetorical question: "Who is a Russian person?"

The reader will say: “Well, the author, are you giving ?! What is not clear here? Russian is Russian”. And the person who said these words will be right. Oh, how right! After all, they are said from the heart, and therefore true. And although this word is not a noun, but an adjective, which means it means properties and answers the question: "Which one?" the army leading to the battle, the grain grower standing in the endless field, the Cossack pioneer, the Duma clerk of the Near Sovereign Duma. And the man will forget that the clerk bore the surname Panteleev, which he will honor for the primordially Russian, having lost its roots from the Pyrenees in his age-old campaign, the glorious prince Yusupov will turn out to be a horseman of a nomadic tribe, and the Cossack-Transbaikalian, who came to those lands from time immemorial, ordinary guran, which in the ancestors of the Buryats has more than mushrooms in a full tub of pickles. True, the Cossack flatly refuses to be called Russian, rightly believing that Russia is beyond the Ural-Kamen, but during a sincere conversation, the Siberian Chaldon will surely let out that he has relatives in Rasseya right up to Poland and he himself happened to be here. Of the exiled Poles, our hero, who married Siberian women.

And the names are what they are in Transbaikalia! All are entirely Russian: Ivanenko, Petrenko, Mozolevsky, Radzievsky, and, unexpectedly, Svantesson and Gustavson. Met, I, such in Daurye. And there are plenty of Sedykhs, Kosykhs, Ilyins and all the indigenous Siberians, Slavs and Turks living in Great Russia.

Russia is wide, Mother has no end and end. The land is free and generous to the man of labor. We have everything, sit down on the earth, people, spread in different directions by your descendants, so that they do not feel like orphans in the most remote parts of it, everywhere they have brothers and sisters. And also creep godfathers, these are attached to you by their souls, to your child are fathers and spiritual mothers. Another godfather will be closer to his brother-in-law. There are such idols in my family! Not people, but pure gold, steppe eagles.

A lot went to the Russian people in his lifetime and in the lifetime of his ancestors. There is no such generation among this great people that would not have fought, no, no, but in every family, there will be its own warrior who stood up to defend the Fatherland.

Russian is not a nationality. We are Rus, and our brothers are Belarusians, Little Russians, Tajiks, Uzbeks - all the peoples who live on our God-given land, together with us are the Russians, that is, the people of SCATTERING, scattered from Mother Volga throughout the entire white world, which, the ancestors of Ra called. A full-flowing beauty flows in the very center of the earth. Of course, every Russian is close to his own river, be it the harsh Yenisei, the rebellious Terek, or the wonderful Dnieper. And how many of them are small and nameless, winding past picturesque villages in the small homeland? Tereshki, White, Istra, Red, Duma….

I recently, in a completely unexpected place, dug up Nesmeha. Now, believe it or not, but a dull river, sad as an autumn cloud or German puree soup, I just want to send it to Frau Merkel under the table. And on the bank of Nesmeha, in general, the uttermost - the village of Veselka.

Just understand this Russian soul and our ancestors: everything was blown by the wind. I had some fun on the shore, and I ask you to drown yourself in Nesmekha. Apparently they had such a village fun.

I asked the fishermen there: "Biting?" And they are like that, they are sitting gloomy, it would be better if they didn’t rattle the souls of people, you can see from their faces that in Nesmeh one garden horseradish is chasing flocks of radish. True, we had a heart-to-heart conversation with an old-timer local, so he told me that the river was normal, just the mill was kept here by one man, sad as an onion soup. His name was foolish….

I have visited Central Asia. Bow to Tashkent, Yangier, Yangiyul, the beauty of Bukhara…. Forgive the inhabitants of those cities where I have been, for not listing all of you. I remember your hospitality, kind smile, beautiful and thoughtful songs and respect for the elderly.

And also your kitchen! This is something with something !!! As the saying goes: lick your fingers.

At the Kuylyuk bazaar, in Tashkent, Akim Zolotoy had such delicious pilaf that I specially went there to see how this Uzbek, with the appearance of Khadzhi Nasredlin, performed sacred services there.

And what is the cafe on the square near the government house "Blue Domes" in Tashkent? !!! I don’t know if it exists now or not, but if there was an opportunity to return to the 80s, I would definitely go there! Well, everything is very tasty !!!

How not to bargain at the oriental bazaar? You will definitely go home in a great mood and with a purchase.

And so everywhere, whether you are in Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Estonia….

Once I had to talk to an Estonian guy who served in the Far East on a large ship. You have no idea how offended he was when I told him that he now lives in a separate state and the Estonian navy has different traditions. Do you know how he answered me? I AM A NATURAL RUSSIAN MATROS !!! And proudly showed his peakless cap.

Stores after all !!! He tells the children about his service !!! A guy like that is worth respecting.

Look reader at the map of the world, completely Russian names, the names of our glorious sailors, great commanders, famous scientists and brilliant creators of the literary and artistic direction. And the famous Russian ballet? After all, no one is surprised that a Georgian is dancing in it! And the generals of a great country? Poles Malinovsky and Rokossovsky, Armenian Baghramyan and Ukrainian Rybalko. All of them are a great asset and pride of the Russian world, who brought their lives to its altar. These are great workers, reader! People who have preserved their national identity, but do not separate themselves from other peoples of the Russian world.

In this light, I cannot but remember the Chechen Mahmud Isambaev. Whoever remembers his role as a shaman in Sannikov's Land will understand me telling the reader: “I believed that before me on the screen was a real shaman of the Onkilon tribe, who left in search of happiness to the north, to the land of underground volcanoes and hot springs. In general, there is such a galaxy of Russian artists in the film that there is no doubt that everything is happening in reality.

The islands of Russia, they grow out of the seas and oceans in a ring of necklaces, standing as outposts protecting the most ancient continent of the planet Eurasia from troubles - the womb of all continents that broke away from it.

I had to read the works of Obruchev, the author of a book about the adventures of four brave souls on the land described above, and get acquainted with his hypothesis that ancient people really imagined the Earth as round and flat, because it was like that in ancient times. But what they understood under the ground was not a planet standing on whales and elephants (this is nothing more than an allegory) but a huge continent, which was originally round. Those familiar with the technology of ball-bearing production know that during cooling, the scale accumulates in the upper hemisphere of the product precisely in the form of a circle with fairly ideal contours, and only then begins to creep away, drifting along the body of the cooling ball. Of course, our Planet is not an ideal ball, but most likely a potato, but the same laws of surface tension are valid for potatoes, especially since the produced rollers behave the same way. Try to mentally fold the continents and get that very scale, in the upper hemisphere, where the foremother Pangea was born.

The theory of continental drift is based on the following arguments:

Similarity in the outlines of the coastline of the continents separated by the Atlantic Ocean.

Different composition of the earth's crust of continents and oceans.

The geological structure of the continents of the southern group, their Late Paleozoic and Early Mesozoic fauna and flora are largely identical.

A vast area of the southern hemisphere in the late Paleozoic was covered with ice. No traces of glaciation of that time have been found in the northern group of continents.

Approximately 250 million years ago, in the Mesozoic era, the ancestor disintegrated. Fragments-continents scattered in different directions, and today we see them at a considerable distance from each other …

The Earth pulsates, as if “breathing” / The authors of the “pulsating Earth” are Soviet academicians V. Obruchev and M. Usov. They divide the geological history of the planet into stages:

Compression of the Earth - mountains grow, deeper depressions become.

Expansion of the Earth - the surface becomes less contrasting, smoothes, huge mountain systems almost disappear, the ocean captures huge territories.

Astronomers offer their support. With the help of an atomic clock, they established that the time stations located in Europe are moving some to the east, others to the west. The simplest explanation for this is the expansion of Europe. This means that a split is inevitable. Will this whole pack from the EU and Europe leave our mainland and go to their beloved Americans? Of course this is a joke, but nature, for some reason, separates the continents from their mother part.. By the way, “roots” were discovered near the continents, presumably extending into the depths of the Earth for 500-700 kilometers. Swimming takes place with huge appendages, which leads to the idea of an iceberg, in which the underwater part is larger than the surface part. According to the established opinion of scientists, the continents that have broken away from the motherland are also gradually melting. But the foremother himself stands on a huge root, going into such depths that it’s scary to think.

Why am I telling this? Yes, perhaps, with one goal, to convince the reader that the population of Asia is the most ancient in the world and the totality of different peoples that make up a great community, called the Russian Man, is the ancestor of all peoples inhabiting the Earth. People have always settled where it is quieter and there are no natural disasters.

It's hard for me to judge how many civilizations existed before, but modern man is not as old as people say about him. At the beginning of the 9th century AD, he did not know how to write, because writing will not be invented earlier than the specified century. Therefore, it is worth believing in the figure of 8000 years from the creation of the world. By the way, in the Middle Ages there were many such dates, at least I know 6 of them, but none of them go beyond the time interval of 10,000 years. The only place where you can find a large figure is among the "ancient" Sumerians, and that appeared in a general phrase, understandable to a Russian person: "A long time ago, in this world, there was a grandfather and a woman." Russian fairy tales and giving more honest than others. Because, as in the version of the Western population, the beginning of the story would look differently: "In the old years, when the world was ruled by the stupid king Louis Fat-bellied and so on." Reading the chronicle documents of the West, you catch yourself thinking that someone bilious and very evil wrote this fairy tale with a bad ending, which everyone calls the history of Europe. Moreover, this person or people clearly hated people, otherwise how could a Catholic God be invented, standing like a non-commissioned officer with a stick in front of the line and sending all sorts of punishments to earthly people? Excuse me, gentlemen, Catholics, but even Orthodoxy, vilified by you, is much kinder to the world of people than your God, forgiving people for buying indulgences. It was necessary to think of this before !? Some kind of nonsense. I no longer remember Torah. What a freak show! There is generally a feeling of being lost.

Meanwhile, Russia is growing with new lands! Not about our ancestral lands, I mean, who rebelled with arms for the right to be Russian. There is a special tale about these people, they have fame in the generations and the respect of their descendants ahead of them. I'm talking about Nature itself, which is kind to our Motherland. Read it for yourself:

“A new island has been discovered in the Laptev Sea. This event was officially confirmed by the members of the expedition on the Russian research vessel Admiral Vladimirsky. According to them, the island was not previously marked on geographical maps. Military hydrographs made a landing on it, and determined its exact coordinates /

The area of the island is about 500 square meters, the height above sea level is no more than a meter. The presence of a part of the territory of Russia here significantly shifts the boundaries of its exclusive economic zone deep into the Arctic. According to the expedition members, Russia's territorial waters will eventually increase by 452 square miles."

How !!! The Russians discovered the island under their noses! But what about the satellites flying above us and their all-seeing eye? Oh, something is not quite right with this island. Come on, the clerk of the Discharge Order Theophan Grekov (or Khokhlov ?!) did not take into account all the state property. We, brothers, need to make an inventory immediately, this can emerge from the depths of the sea, which cannot be said in a fairy tale or described with a pen. Since we have abandoned islands in half a square kilometer, then what can you dig up after putting things in order?

I saw a photo, quite a decent island! Romania is fighting over the cliff with Ukraine in the Black Sea, and we have nameless islands. Scattering in one word!

But it is better to just ask the local population: "So they say and so, say freckled devils, where do you have the nearest islands!" And a letter with three wax seals, and a little more written, so that the people who have fallen into amazement would have penetrated to the very liver: “Why can't the tsar sleep with the boyars!”

So, they will show you! Five miles away is the small village of Ostrovok, or, say, Khutor Cherny Ostrov, three hours' walk.

And, this, in general, knocks down, in the steppe zone of Russia I met two villages: one Zaliv, and the second Stepnaya Bank. So a hand reaches out to the back of the head to visit the secret entrance to his brains. Not otherwise, Russian sailors swam here! Maps for Europeans were drawn, so that it would be more convenient for them on ships, sausage wide steppe! This is how I imagine this picture: the English skipper scratches himself in the most immodest places, trying to join our names and master the Russian map. Here is the bay, here is the Bank, and here is the tailwind in your stern, an ugly figure in sideburns who wished our land. Swim my dear, there you are in the Deaf Kutu Nightingale the robber, waiting for you. Ilya Muromsky is visiting him, he took the fifth can of honey. In the very distribution and you will swim the beauty written. There you will be stripped off, since you have come home to an evil business.

And you reader, still laughing merrily at Zhenya's adventures from The Irony of Fate or Enjoy Your Bath! After our bath, a trip to St. Petersburg will seem like a child's play in Buka. He even came out of the water dry, and with a profit! He discovered a womanizer in himself.

I remember, when I was young, I had to bathe with a Kazakh friend in the vicinity of Baikonur. There was a mobile bath - a barrel on wheels, everything in it was unusual. In the absence of a forest (the steppe is deaf all around), they drowned with dung. The water from the steppe lake (where it comes from and where it goes, no one knows) is transparent and cold as ice, but it tastes salty, truly mineralized. For a German, real wealth, we are used to it. A broom made of a variety of reeds and steppe grasses. The rest room is the whole steppe, a folding table, the same chairs and on the table all the riches of the Kazakh land. We left the steam room, sat down in the fragrant breeze, drank kumis and something stronger, and burst out “Steppe and steppe all around, the path is far away” accompanied by the singing of an Uzbek dutar, no one knows what way it turned out to be in this wide Kazakh steppe. I thought then: it's good at HOMES !!!

The car wouldn't start in the morning, and I was late for the plane. And then, my Kazakh brother made the Solomon decision to ride camels. Have you ever seen a running shabby camel with an officer in the Air Force uniform sitting on it, clinging to a humpbacked hump, rushing, as if scalded towards the AN-12, near the chassis, which the entire crew was rolling with laughter? There was a furor for the whole airfield, and the Kazakh, a real horseman and son of the steppes, suggested that I take the camel with me, amid the laughter of onlookers who fled from all over the airfield.

When we were gaining altitude in the right bend, I looked at the standing figurine of a Russian man with a huge Kazakh soul and understood that there was something more left with him than a camel, a ship of deserts and a free son of the steppe wind, presented to me, but released into the steppe. …

This is how our land, like my plane, broke away from the coast and swam in the raging ocean to become Alaska and America. And, after all, there is also full of Russian people!

In my understanding, this is how kind and sincere people are called, great workers and craftsmen, brave warriors and happy ancestors in their descendants, who gave the world the right to call themselves a RUSSIAN MAN. And the more we are, the calmer and more stable it will become in this sublunary world, for only a complete fool boasts of his nationality, when he has nothing more to be proud of, a complete insignificance. There will never be a Russian world without Shevchenko or Navoi, Ots or Pushkin, Petofi or the akyn singing in the steppe. Reader, do not believe if you are told that all these people are a cultural layer, and you are a small part of it. The Russian world is a huge foremother with deepest roots going into the very heart of our planet.

There was a man named Mavro Orbini. One of the topical themes of the time in which this Benedictine monk, originally from the Slavic Dubrovnik (Ragusa), lived, was the deplorable situation of the Slavs, a large part of which was enslaved by other peoples and lost its political identity. At the beginning of the 15th century, Vinko Priboevich and Ludovik Crievich-Tuberon were among the first to glorify the former greatness of the Slavs. Following them, treatises on the history of Czechs, Poles, and Russians began to appear in other countries.

In an effort not to miss a single valuable mention of the Slavs, he included in his work direct and indirect quotations from more than three hundred and thirty works (more than 280 of them are listed in the list preceding his work, in addition to which about 50 are mentioned). Among them were the works of authors who joined the Reformation. In an era of intensified Catholic reaction, retribution was not long in coming. Two years after the publication of his book, "Slavic Kingdom", appeared in the Index of Forbidden Books and for a long time dropped out of sight of "educated" Europe.

In addition to a huge number of literary information about the Slavs, often gleaned from little-known or now completely lost authors, Orbini's work contains many "pearls". An inquisitive reader will find in it an essay on the history of Slavic writing, and a dictionary of the Vandals, and the privilege of Alexander the Great to the Slavs, and one of the first publications of the "Barsk Genealogy" of the 12th century, known in our literature as "Chronicles of Priest Duklyanin", and the first in European literature presentation of the Bulgarian history … Most likely, my reader. I just haven't read all this and hears about this work for the first time. However, you should not be upset, especially since it is never too late to read, and Orbini himself, somehow strangely "forgotten" by official science, has a very definite view of world events, from the point of view of the "chosen by God" people that appeared in the last 6 centuries of world history, but took upon itself the right to appropriate the history of a completely different people. Listen people to the name of the science you are studying. "From the Torah I am."

And in this book, as I wrote earlier, there is a complete loss of the meaning of life.

The long-term indifference of Russian historians seems to be one of the mysteries, the Gordian knots, of our modern culture. This miniature is not intended to cut it, the amount of information is too small. And the author is trying to cover the immensity, the whole vast Russian world, in the hope that the reader will hear him and ask about his roots, for the sake of the right and duty, to be a RUSSIAN PERSON. And at the same time he will read the words of Mavro, one of us, either a Serb or a Croat (I am contradictory and deceitful from the Torah) about what happened in reality, taking his book. And he will also bow to this man on all four sides of the white world, for I do not know his grave, like many others who laid down their lives on the altar of serving the truth.

And in order to finally smite the reader, I will not quote Orbini's quote about the glorious warriors of our peoples, I will simply tell in his words about Russian women, our grandmothers, whom the reader does not know in all their glory! Hold on to the chair, my friend, you will fall from surprise! Word of Mavro Orbini:

“The bravery of the wives of this people is attached to the lordship of the glory of the Slavic clan. And most of all - the Amazons, who were the wives of the Sarmatians of the Slavs: their dwellings were near the Volga River … Some writers say that these (that is, the Amazons - auth.) Were wives of the Goths, and together with their husbands fought in a man's dress against Aurelian Caesar … But, - continues Orbini, - either Gotyany or Sarmatian were always from the Slavic people … The Amazonians then bypassed all of Asia Minor (that is, Asia Minor - author), they took Armenia, Galatia, Syria, Cilicia, Persis under the yoke … cities, Kalanchi (that is, the towers - author) and the strongest fortresses … They built two glorious cities, Smyrna and Ephesus … The Greek kings, the fearful Amazonian forces, sent against them Heraclius (that is, Hercules - author), the most glorious Voevoda of these times. Then the Amazonians came to the aid of the Trojan against the Greeks (that is, they participated in the Trojan War - author), under the government of Pantesilea, and remained firm in their sovereignty even until the time of Alexander the Great …. Kinana the Macedonian, also a Slav, and the sister of Alexander the Great … led the army, fought with the enemies, and killed Kariya, the Illyric Queen, with her own hand."

Well, reader, how do you like our women? Where is Nekrasov with his burning hut and crazy horse! You didn't know you were living with an Amazon. Take a closer look at your wife and the mother of your children when you decide to mischief. The lot of the Illyric queen and the unfortunate Hercules (another Frederick the Great dug up in the dustbin of history) can overtake you unexpectedly, in the form of a crushing blow of a cast-iron frying pan. From her it will become, from the seed of the nettle! The grandmothers wondered what they got up to. No wonder they say epics about matriarchy. They are not lagging behind in the modern world.

And I want to finish the miniature with the words of Orbini, who complains that while the Slavs were doing great things, other peoples attributed their feats to themselves. He calls them Latins.

This quote in a more modern translation:

“One Slavic tribe was not lucky with this (with learned historians - author's note). Since its inception, it has constantly waged wars, performing deeds worthy of eternal memory, while not caring at all that anyone would capture them on paper. Few historians mention the Slavs, and these references are more connected with the wars that they waged with other peoples, than with the intention to at least somehow glorify this tribe. The Slavs fought with almost all the tribes of the world, attacked Persia, ruled Asia and Africa, fought with the Egyptians and Alexander the Great, conquered Greece, Macedonia and Illyria, occupied Moravia, Silesia, Czech Republic, Poland and the Baltic Sea coast. They invaded Italy, where for a long time they entered into skirmishes with the Romans, sometimes suffering defeats, sometimes taking revenge on them with great sacrifices on their part, sometimes ending the battle with an equal advantage. Having conquered, in the end, the Roman Empire, they occupied many of its provinces, destroyed the city of Rome, making the Roman emperors their tributaries, which no other tribe in the world could accomplish. They took possession of Francia, founded kingdoms in Spain, and from their blood the noblest families originate. However, Roman historians are less lavish in praising the barbarians, as they call them, than in the address of their own. Therefore, following the feeling of duty that I have for my Slavic tribe, I readily endured the hardships of this labor in order to show its origin and the spread of domination; gathered together scattered references to it from various authors, so that everyone could easily be convinced of how glorious and famous this tribe has always been. A tribe from which many powerful peoples emerged in antiquity, such as the Slavs, Vandals, Burgundians, Goths, Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Gepids, Getae, Alans, Verla, or Heruli, Avars, Skirr, Girra, Melanchlens, Bastarns, Pevkins, Dacians, Swedes, Normans, Fennes, or Finns, Ukry, or Unkras (these are not Ukrainians, but tribes inhabiting the modern Caspian lands - author's note), Marcomanians, Quads, Thracians and Illyrians. There were also Wends, or Genets, who occupied the coast of the Baltic Sea, and were divided into many tribes, namely the Pomorians, Viltsy, Rans, Barnabas, Bodrichs, Polabs, Wagrs, Clays, Dolenchan, Ratars, or Ryadurs, through the Pennians, khizhans, heruli, or helvelds, lyubushan, wilin, stodorian, brezhan and many others, about which you can read from presbyter Helmold. They were all of the same Slavic tribe …."

The reader who is interested will himself find among the peoples listed, all those nationalities that I described in this miniature. It was just that then they were called differently.

I believe that we are living in an age of "new" discoveries, when history will become a WILL. Our ancestors knew more about our Earth than we did and were like us, sailing to unknown lands in the era of great geographical discoveries. In my opinion, the 21st century is the era of great discoveries in the science called History. And it is high time for it to become a science, not a mythology, then everything in the world will fall into place.

Reader, hurry up to discover your island in the world ocean of knowledge about the past of our Motherland. And let the captain of your brigantine or Slavic boat be the Russian Man Mavro Orbini, who repaid the papal throne with his head for the truth about our Russia.
