  • The Rise of a Superpower, Foundation of the Russian Empire
    Russian History: The Rise of a Superpower, Foundation of the Russian Empire Part II. From the Reinforcement of Tsardom to the Congress of Vienna By Julien Paolantoni Region: Russia and FSU Global Research, March 08, 2018 Theme: History 15 December 2012 Relevant article selected from the GR archive, first published on GR in December 2012 Introduction Part 1 of this series Russian History: From the Early East Slavs to the Grand Duchy of Moscow was aimed at explaining the foundation of the Russian state, by discussing its early influences in the cultural and political fields. As the subject of the present part is to provide insight on how Russia reached the status of superpower, it is necessary to briefly get back to the reign of Ivan III. Although the reign of the tsars started officially with Ivan IV, Ivan III (“Ivan the Great”) played a critical role in the centralization of the Russian state, after having defeated the Mongol army in 1480. Meanwhile, the extension of the Russian land was eased by the death of Casimir IV, the king of Poland, in 1492 and the fact that Casimir’s son, Alexander, was willing to cooperate with the Russians, so he wedded Ivan’s daughter Helena soon after accessing the throne of Lithuania, as an attempt to avoid open conflict with his powerful neighbor. Unfortunately for him, Ivan III’s clear determination to appropriate as much of Lithuania as possible, finally obliged Alexander to wage war against his father-in-law in 1499. It was a complete disaster for Lithuania and in 1503 Alexander eventually purchased peace by ceding to Ivan III Novgorod-Seversky, Chernigov and seventeen other cities.

  • Artur Goszczyński Nieprzyjaciel Narodu Naszego. Historia
    Zeszyty Naukowe Towarzystwa Doktorantów UJ Nauki Społeczne, Numer 12 (1/2016) Artur Goszczyński Uniwersytet Jagielloński Zakład Historii Polski Nowożytnej e-mail: [email protected] Nieprzyjaciel narodu naszego. Historia stosunków polsko-moskiewskich w opinii szlachty Rzeczypospolitej w przededniu i w pierwszych latach wojny 1609–1618 Streszczenie Jednym z czynników kształtujących stosunek do innych narodów są relacje między pań- stwami na przestrzeni dziejów. W dawnej Rzeczypospolitej nie tylko rzutowały one na postawy wobec cudzoziemców, ale miały również pewien wpływ na politykę między- narodową. W XVII wieku w polsko-litewskim państwie było to szczególnie widoczne w kontekście wojny z Moskwą z lat 1609–1618. Konflikty, których niemało było w stosunkach między obydwoma państwami, zapisały się głęboko w pamięci szlachty. Panowie bracia nabrali przekonania o wrodzonej nie- chęci Moskwicinów wobec Polaków oraz ich zdradzieckim charakterze, co w konse- kwencji rzutowało na decyzje dotyczące stosunków z państwem carów. W 1609 roku wobec sojuszu zawartego przez Wasyla Szujskiego ze Szwecją na dworze w Warszawie zaczęto się zastanawiać nad zbrojną interwencją. Jednym z głównych argumentów zwo- lenników wojny była historia stosunków z Moskwą, która świadczyła o agresywnym nastawieniu tego państwa wobec Rzeczypospolitej. Słowa kluczowe szlachta, propaganda, dymitriady, wielka smuta, Zygmunt III, wojna polsko-moskiewska 1609–1618 96 Artur Goszczyński Kwestia wzajemnego postrzegania Polaków i Rosjan jest jednym z częściej poru- szanych problemów

    Freedom’s Voice The Monthly Newsletter of the Military History Center 112 N. Main ST Broken Arrow, OK 74012 http://www.okmhc.org/ “Promoting Patriotism through the Preservation of Military History” Volume 4, Number 12 December 2017 Merry Christmas & Happy New Year USS Oklahoma Memorial Important Dates The USS Oklahoma Memorial on Ford Island in Pearl Harbor December 24 thru January 1 – Christmas/New Year Holidays was constructed in 2007. The memorial honors the 414 sailors and fifteen Marines who died on Oklahoma, on December 7, Military History Center Closed 1941, and the following few days. Less than a third of the men on board when Oklahoma was torpedoed escaped. By the time The MHC will reopen January 2. Oklahoma was raised in 1943, the men’s identification had be- come separated from their remains. The Defense POW/MIA Happy Hanukkah Accounting Agency is currently engaged in a project to identify the unknowns by DNA matches. Several have already been identified and their remains returned to their families. From the Editor Throughout the year, we have endeavored to bring readers timely news of MHC activities and events, as well as interesting stories. Each month we highlight a specific exhibit or artifact of the museum. The MHC displays artifacts from all America’s wars from the Revolutionary War to the present War on Terror. Many of the MHC’s artifacts and photographs are unique to the MHC and cannot be found in any other museum. Artifacts are only part of the story. Our mission is “Promot- ing Patriotism through the Preservation of Military History”.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Steve Hindle, W.M. Keck Foundation Director of Research, Huntington Library, San Marino CA Not very often, if ever, does academic scholarship fit neatly into the confines of a single label. Whether it crosses between disciplines or regional or temporal borders, most academic studies are more complex than they initially seem. The ‘Italian’Renaissance deals with a geographic region made up of independent city-states that were not, at the time, defined as a single region. Anthropologists in Latin America and Asia consider cultures that are inextricable from the multi- tude of others with which they traded for hundreds of years. Many musicians cite painters as influ- ences, and those painters may have been influenced by performance theory. Some crossover jumps outside the humanities even, with architects influenced by nature and artists by medicine and anatomy. It is the duplicity of these labels that we wish to address from different angles with “Traversing Bor- ders.” 9:00 – 9:30 am Registration 9:20 – 9:30 am Welcome address Harmony Wolfe and Erin Machado, Co-chairs of Traversing Borders Jeanette Kohl, Graduate Advisor, UC Riverside, History of Art 9:30 -
