In the tenth century, Prince Vladimir himself was baptized and baptized Kievan Rus. Since that time, Orthodox history began in Russia. The rulers of Russia, the presidents of Russia in different historical eras and with different systems of government, succeeded each other, leaving their mark on its fate.
How is the story made
It is known that historical facts are always somewhat distorted depending on political events. And sometimes, as today's realities show, attempts are made beyond recognition to rewrite history. One gets the impression that the rulers of Russia and the USSR, the presidents of Russia are presented to people outside our state in a completely different, distorted and unsightly light. The Great Patriotic War is renamed in textbooks as World War II, the importance of the Soviet Union in the defeat of Hitler Germany is minimized as much as possible, and the Ukrainian government equalizes fascism and communism and states that the Soviet Union attacked Europe and did not free it from fascism.
The same goes for statesmen.
Still puzzles
Were there never-ending princely feuds in Russia? Did Ivan the Terrible kill his son, as textbooks say about this? And who was Emelyan Pugachev? Did Peter the Great return from Europe, or was it not him already?
Perhaps someday it will be reliably known what were the people who stood at the helm of the government and deciding where and how the country will move.
Statesmen
Are you interested in the rulers of Russia, the Soviet Union, the presidents of Russia? A list of heads of state in order can easily be found in history textbooks.
The Romanovs came to the Russian throne in the sixteenth century and ruled Russia until the 1917 revolution, when the monarchical system came to an end, and the long-awaited communist one hastened to replace it.
Probably, to this day, the Russian people cannot give a full assessment of all the events that took place during the years of Soviet power. Irreconcilable debates are still going on about the contribution of Lenin and Stalin to the fate of the state. But the fact that under Gorbachev, the first and last president of the USSR, a huge country ceased to exist, probably no one doubts.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia predicted an unenviable future, and some Western opponents must have made plans to dismember an exhausted country. But the incredible happened. The state was strengthened, a bright and strong leader appeared, and people perked up. Once again, predatory plans to destroy the largest country in the world failed.
