12 inflatable columns of St. Isaac's Cathedral rolled under the table. Officials are not flattered

Pravo-haters recently found confirmation of the official version of the construction of St. Petersburg in the essay of the Decembrist H. A. Bestuzhev "Columns of St. Isaac's Cathedral". Quote:

There are 36 columns of solid granite stone for St. Isaac's Cathedral;

Where does the number 36 come from? There are actually 48 of them. Here, for example, is the plan of the Cathedral from Wikipedia:

And where are the other 12 columns? "They rolled under the table."

Let's go further:

The most experienced people, astonished at the enormity of the excessive weight of these columns, were perplexed about the methods necessary for this; already a notable amount of money (about 400 thousand rubles) was assigned for the construction of ships, steam and other machines needed for loading; a drawing of the ship was already proposed, on which the columns would be placed one by one, laying obliquely between the masts; but the advisor of commerce Zherbin, having taken upon himself the delivery of the columns with great concession against the appointed prices, without all the details of the mechanics, following common sense and correct experience, he built three ships at his own expense, each of which raises two columns suddenly, placed on the deck on both sides, which is the load of 20 to 24 pounds in weight.

For what not take - all bullshit. The first and the simplest. Weight of 2 columns "from 20 to 24 poods in weight".

1 pood - 16 kg, that is, 2 columns of St. Isaac's Cathedral weigh 320-380 kg. One column 160-190 kg? Maybe he meant not poods but tons? No, because, in fact, 1 column weighs about 115 tons, and two - 230 tons. Maybe they are not granite, but inflatable?

Maybe someone does not know, but there are serious, very accurate copies of military equipment for deceiving enemy intelligence:

The most interesting thing is not only that this is a dog's delirium in itself, but more interesting is that all sorts of monstrous haters do not notice this. For them, this is normal and for them such bullshit is convincing proof of the official version.

For example, Dmirtiy Puchkov (Goblin) himself admiringly quotes this paranoia in the 5th minute of the video:

"Nikolay Bestuzhev - Columns of St. Isaac's Cathedral"

Look with what an important air he reads this exposure of alternative charlatans. Directly puffs, like a crest, a peremogy at Eurovision (Although Russia has already won there, in fact it’s a zrada, not a peremogy.

I already doubted, maybe a pood has a different meaning? Looked at Wikipedia - nothing like that. Approx. 16 kg.

Perhaps the word "hundreds" or "thousands" of poods was missed during the rewriting? No. The real weight of 2 columns is 14 thousand pounds, or 600 times more than what Bestuzhev allegedly raked, and not 100 times and not 1000.

Next point:

but the advisor of commerce Zherbin, having taken upon himself the delivery of the columns with great concession against the appointed prices, without all the details of the mechanicsFollowing common sense and correct experience, he built three ships at his own expense, each of which raises two columns suddenly …

This inexplicable primitivization of the most complex and unique calculations and delicate work for the ages is very common among wonder-haters and falsifiers. They don't bother thinking - they simplify everything.

Foreigners described the Russian workers who created this eternal perfection as follows:

The person who wrote this probably never put an iron ring in his mouth in the cold. Freezes instantly. Teeth ring, nose ring. Also, this person attributes the lack of measuring instruments to the ingenious builders of such perfect structures.

This is complete nonsense. Not only did everyone do it by eye, but also at night by the light of a lantern. Moreover, the flashlight is in my teeth. Are not wild monkeys? They jump on the scaffolding with a lantern in their teeth. And this monkey quote is in almost all sites dedicated to Peter.

It is still possible to restore old buildings from the previous Roman-Russian civilization. But don't build. Cover up the old cracks and the monkey can.

But, even today, the mysterious builders of the past continue to be credited with illiteracy and primitivism:

Vladimir Sorin, artist-restorer:

Let's go further:

These are broken out by the merchant of the 2nd guild Sukhanov in the Friedrichsgam district2. He one experiencereached the point that he can break out such a piece of stone as he pleases, as long as the thickness and length of the layer of the stone correspond to the requirement.

Again, one experience!

The old way of tearing stones with gunpowder is dangerous and for this kind of work is completely inconvenient, and for this Sukhanov invented a way to split whole mountains with wedges3, like a tree; This is exemplified by the columns of the Kazan4 and the present ones, made by him for St. Isaac's Church. Sukhanov even undertakes to gouge out a column of 24 sazhens in length from a special layer he found, with a decent thickness, if it pleases the emperor.

I wrote a separate article about Sukhanov long ago. He was born of two fathers - the Russian Semyon and the Greek Xenophon, in three different years and died on several different dates with a spread of tens of years, built the floor of St. from myself, no grave, no portrait, no descendants, although he lived quite recently. More details here:

The main builders of St. Petersburg have neither graves, nor offspring, nor portraits. Because they were not invented

The question arises - why falsify so stupidly that it is too easy to expose the falsity? I've already talked about this in previous articles. My version - Bestuzhev and Montferrand with these paranoid details in drawings and in texts hint to smart people that they draw / write bullshit under duress. Under threat of death, they were forced to write a confirmation of the official version, and they came up with all sorts of idiotic details so that those who are interested in the truth would understand that this is bullshit. And the rest of the haters of the truth will find what they need. Look - here they are turning a column with sticks, here they are transporting columns on ships. How were such ships built? No way- without calculations. They took it and built it - Bestuzhev confirms it. Who can doubt?

But it is unlikely that those who made them falsify themselves would not have noticed such idiotic hints.

Then a more plausible version looks like this: a group of rich bored idlers, in order to occupy themselves and amuse themselves, arranged a competition who writes a more stupid version of history, he will receive a box of beer, and his foolishness will be sold to the people as the official version.
