Matveenko1, Ekaterina A. Nazartseva2, Elena Kh. Zharkova3 Abstract The process of education and science intensive development in Russia at the end of the 17th - the beginning of the 18th centuries is completely related with the personality of Emperor Peter I (Great), who understood the grandiose importance of public education for Russia. The reforms of Peter I in the field of science and education became the most important foundation in the history of pedagogy and military affairs development in Russia, as well as in the history of the Russian state national security strengthening. The result of Peter I reforms in education was the creation of domestic regular Armed Forces of Russia and the provision of the Russian state with the experts of different profiles: military people, engineers, technicians and diplomats. The authors of the article carried out a comprehensive analysis of the materials available in Russia about the Peter schools in order to systematize and preserve these data for pedagogical science and history.

    Bartosz Hordecki the Russian Revolution As a Critical Juncture In

    Bartosz Hordecki The Russian Revolution as a critical juncture in the traditions of language policies in Central and Eastern Europe Summary 2017 is the year of 100 anniversary of two Russian revolutions (in February and October 1917). It is a good occasion to think about the meaning of these events for the history and traditions of establishing and developing language policies in some states of Central and Eastern Europe. It is important to ask, if, and if yes, to what extent, the collapse of the old regime and the offspring of bolshevik’s era brought new patterns of understanding language policies which were further exercised especially in the European states created on the ruins of the empire of the tsars. It is also important to question the problem of the influence of these patterns and policies on the process of re-shaping national identities in the region mentioned above. 1. Introductory notes A look at the Russian Revolution of 1917 as a critical juncture for state traditions related to language policies in some countries of Central and Eastern Europe is not an easy and non-problematic task. First of all, when undertaking it, a question should be asked about its purpose as well as results that can be derived from its implementation. Undoubtedly, attempts to use categories such as state tradition or critical juncture to analyse linguistic phenomena related to the Revolution of 1917 arise from conviction about advantages of comparative historical analysis (CHA) in opposition to the use of ahistorical approaches and explanations.1 The latter should be understood as primarily oriented towards the identification of specific, objectively existing groups of interests that are somehow determined in their actions by having precisely such and not any other substantive needs and objectives.

    Romanov News Новости Романовых By Paul Kulikovsky №89 August 2015 A procession in memory of Tsarevich Alexei was made for the twelfth time A two-day procession in honor of the birth of the last heir to the Russian throne - St. Tsarevich Alexei, was made for the twelfth time on August 11-12 from Tsarskoye Selo to Peterhof. The tradition of the procession was born in 2004 - says the coordinator of the procession Vladimir Znahur - The icon painter Igor Kalugin gave the church an icon of St. Tsarevich. We decided that this icon should visit the Lower dacha, where the Tsarevich was born. We learned that in "Peterhof" in 1994 was a festival dedicated to the last heir to the imperial throne. We decided to go in procession from the place where they lived in the winter - from Tsarskoye Selo. Procession begins with Divine Liturgy at the Tsar's Feodorovsky Cathedral and then prayer at the beginning of the procession. The cross procession makes stops at churches and other significant sites. We called the route of our procession "From Sadness to Joy." They lived in the Alexander Palace in Tsarskoye Selo, loved it, there was born the Grand Duchess Olga. But this palace became a prison for the last of the Romanovs, where they then went on their way of the cross. It was in this palace the Tsarevich celebrated his last birthday", - says Vladimir. The next morning, after the Liturgy, we go to the birthplace of the Tsarevich - "Peterhof". Part of the procession was led by the clergy of the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in Peterhof, Archpriest Mikhail Teryushov and Vladimir Chornobay.

    MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 267 May 2019 MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 267 May 2019 15 Years – Malta part of the European Union THIS MONTH is the 15th anniversary of the 2004 enlargement, when 10 countries acceded to the European Union: Malta, Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia. President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker said: “The decision in 2004 to embrace 10 European countries was a great moment for our continent and a great moment in history. The accession of the Central and Eastern European countries, and the courage of their people in preparing for that accession, is what allowed us to reconcile our continent’s geography with its history. I remain an ardent fan of enlargement today.” We have outlined some of the benefits of EU membership in the factsheet below. VOTE for Malta’s entry in the Eurovision Song Contest MICHELA "Chameleon” The 64th Eurovision Song Contest will be broadcast live and in prime time, exclusive to SBS (Australia) from 15 to 19 May. With the Federal Election on 18 May, Australians will be able to watch twice the amount of drama unfold in what is shaping up to be the double bill of the century. Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding two sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting. Each nation's jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency. This jury judged each entry based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.

    The Other Countess Free

    FREE THE OTHER COUNTESS PDF Eve Edwards | 352 pages | 30 Aug 2010 | Penguin Books Ltd | 9780141327303 | English | London, United Kingdom How to Write a Letter to a Countess | Bizfluent Sophie, Countess of Wessex, joined the royal family in and has since become one of the Queen's closest confidantes. The Countess has also been given access to some of Her Majesty's jaw-dropping tiaras. From the Anthemion topper, worn on her wedding day, to not one, but two stunning aquamarine headpieces, we took a look back at the Countess' most memorable tiara moments. At her wedding to Prince Edward, Sophie, Countess of Wessex, sported the Anthemion tiara, which quickly became one of her most-worn headpieces. The Other Countess tiara came from The Other Countess Queen's private jewelry collection, and The Other Countess given to Sophie for her wedding The Other Countess. The name "Anthemion" reflects the accessory's design, as the anthemion shape consists of radiating petals, similar to a fan. The delicate headpiece is thought to have been a loan, as the Countess has not worn it since. For the Danish royal wedding in The Other Countess, Sophie brought out the Anthemion tiara. She paired the stunning topper with a hot pink off-the-shoulder gown and tiny crown-shaped diamond earrings. The stunning piece features a jaw- dropping central aquamarine stone. While its origins are not entirely clear, the piece was reportedly custom-made for Sophie by G. The Other Countess best part about the Aquamarine Tiara? It's convertible. She showed off the statement piece by pairing it with a simple, plunging neckline.
