Along many centuries Euroasian nomads, Scythians, Turkic, Uralic, Finno-Ugric and Slavic tribs occupated the territory of RUTHENIA. A Varangian (Viking) people named Rus´, with origin in Baltic, Scandinavia or Frisia - Rüstringen, leading the Slavic and Finic tribes and founded the Kievan Rus´ kingdom, a medieval polity, about 880 AC. In 882 AC Kiev was liberated from Khazars tribute and the slavic city replaced Novgorod as capital.

«Saint Olga» by Mikhail Nesterov (1892)
Olga the Beauty was born in 890 AC and was the first ruler of Kievan Rus´ kingdom converted to Christianity linked to Byzantine Empire. Her baptism was in Constantinople (945 AC or 957 AC) and was represented by Radzivill Chronicle of XIII century:

The fall of Kievan Rus´ happened when Mongols invaded Europe (XIII century) but it decline begun in XII century and it fragmentation create the historical base for Ukraine, Belarus and Russia and the rise of the Grand Principality of Moscow, the nearest root of the Tsardom of Russia, founded by Ivan IV Vasilyevich («Grozny», «The Terrible») in 1547. A medieval state was changed for a future Empire (1721).

«Orthodoxy, Autocracy and Nationality» was an ideological «troika» that leads Russia to the disaster of the Revolution in 1917 (tyrants replaced by tyrants over the suffering of millions of persons in Russia and in Europe):
«It is our common obligation to ensure that the education of the people be conducted, according to Supreme intention of our August Monarch, in the joint spirit of Orthodoxy, Autocracy and Nationality. I am convinced that every professor and teacher, being permeated by one and the same feeling of devotion to the throne and fatherland, will use all his resources to become a worthy tool for the government and to earn its complete confidence.» (Sergey Uvarov, 1833, Deputy Minister of Public Education limited the access to Education by persons of «non noble origin, under the horrible leadership of Tsar Nikolai I that obtained a «control» over 20 million square kilometers of the Russian Empire).

In a Russian poster of 1914 Russia was represented by faith, Britain was represented by hope, and France was represented by charity, the «Triple Entente» against Germany and Austria in first world war (1914-1918), degeneration by a net of alliancesof an forced conflict between Austrian-Hungary Empire and the slavs of the Balkans.

Tsarist autocracy supported by violence fell to violence in 1917. The Portuguese ambassador in that moment was Jaime Batalha Reis. The Democrats were crushed by the autocrats and the big autocrat, the monster Stalin crushed the other coleagues of power and milions of persons.


The monster Stalin was happy, Germans of III Reich too and Lenine was in a photo of this photo, a past of the past: the scandalous secret German–Soviet Boundary and Friendship Treaty of 1939 (September 1) that implicate this horrible sharing of Europe:

After that III Reich could concentrate it power over Europe: France fallen to Nazi forces in 1940. Only United Kingdom resisted.

But the pact between the III German Reich and USSR leaded by Stalin is not the only responsability of USSR in the support of Germanic will of power: after the failure of German in «first great war», Soviet Union  support and share economic, industrial, logistic and military goals along the second and thir decades of XX century that turned available for III Reich more potential for it horrible ambition of power. So the pact of 1939 was a resultant of a long shared way, firt by Weimar Republic and then by III Reich!

In 1941 Hitler break the pact with USSR and create an east front. The allied Japan attacked United States of America (Pearl Harbor in a island of Pacific Ocean). III Reich declare also war to USA.

The strategy of USA and United Kingdom was «first Europe, first defeat German and Italy), but in reality the trade off between Pacific and Europe create until 1944 a real priority against Japan.

 In 1945 USSR invaded Berlin and control Eastern Europe. United States control Western Europe and defeat Japan by an horrible way: the nuclear energy invented by German juifs that III Reich expelled. «Cold war» predominate after that between the two «winners», with indirect war in many countries.

III Reich leaded by Hitler gave to USSR leaded by Stalin a big power that prejudice Germany, Russia and all European countries. Europe lost millions of persons and millions of persons suffering horrible situations by Tiranny, Ignorance and Fanaticism.

 USSR (Russia) support Weimar Republic and III Reich (Germany) war capacity and will of power and vice versa. The other European countries turns more vulnerable and as resultant USSR rised as a great potentia: nazis leaded by Hitler gave power to «comunists» leaded by Stalin that direct and indirectly eliminate millions of Europeans and defeated nazis by one side, USA by other side.

The incredible Partido Comunista Português indirectly «created» by it enemie, the horrible portuguese tyrant António de Oliveira Salazar (that in 1945 gave a hommage to Hitler after turned available Azores to USA and only fell from a chair in 1968 after about 40 years of dictatorship), and suported for a lot of years by USSR, defend yet the horrible soviet tyrant Stalin! And Salazar contributed indirectly with him tiranic and horrible policy for the ephemere power of USSR in Portuguese Africa (Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau).

What ironic and destructive dialectics!

In 1985, after a declined trend and leaded by Gorbachev, USSR begun it perestroika (restructuring) and glasnot (openness) that trigged a wave of Liberty in Eastern block (1989 revolutions) and the ascension of Democratic and real independent countries. In 1991 USSR finish it History since 1922. Russia emerge again. But the artificial and tiranic soviet system create many problems for a real Democratic afirmation that needs more time to be realized and a new culture that young persons could developpe in the future like in Portugal after the fall of dictatorship.

Nadezhda Andreyevna Tolokonnikova (Надежда Андреевна Толоконникова) was born in Norilsk (northernmost city in the Earth, Russia) in 7-11-1989, 72 years after the revolution and two days before the fell of the Berlin wall, rised in 1961. Is a student of Philosophy in Moscow State University, an artist (musician), a poltical activist against actual Russian political power.
In(justice) put her in prison by a mix between religious and political offended powers. What a shame! LIBERTY for her and for all victims of tyrany, ignorance and fanaticism in all the world, the same «troika» that arrested Jesus Christ in the first century after Him borning.

«Night and Day» Cole Porter


«Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and night, night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day»


WE WISH THAT ONE DAY LOVE RULES THE EARTH AND TYRANNY, IGNORANCE AND FANATICISM DISAPEAR!
IN THE MEANTIME IS IMPORTANT REMEMBER WHAT TYRANTS AND TYRANIES DID IN THE PAST AND ARE DOING IN THE PRESENT BY HISTORY FOR WOMEN AND MEN WILL NOT MANIPULATED LIKE THEY WERE IN THE PAST!
