Determination of the Elemental Composition of Archaeological MLZ Conference: Neutrons for Culture and Art Contribution ID: 3 Type: Poster Determination of the elemental composition of archaeological objects by neutron activation analysis (NAA) at the IREN facility and the IBR-2 reactor of the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics (FLNP) of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR). Tuesday, 19 June 2018 17:35 (10 minutes) NAA of human remains of the XVI-XVII centuries from the Moscow Kremlin necropolises, Russia and me- dieval glass bracelets found at the Dubna settlement, Russia, was carried out at the FLNP basic facilities –the IREN research facility and the IBR-2 pulsed fast reactor. We studied the rib fragment from the burial place of the son of Tsar Ivan the Terrible, Tsarevich Ivan Ivanovich; the rib fragment from the burial place of Prince Mikhail Vasilyevich Skopin-Shuisky; and elements of hair of the first wife of Tsar Ivan the Terrible, the first Russian Tsarina Anastasia Romanovna. The results of the elemental analysis of human remains, primarily arsenic and mercury, made it possible to clarify the death circumstances of some members of the Russian nobility. The elemental composition of the glasses made it possible to determine presumably the placesof production of glass bracelets. NAA at FLNP JINR is carried out using the automation system for measurement of spectra, which includes a high-purity germanium detector with spectrometric electronics, a sample changer, a control software and the NAA database.

  • A Comparative Study of Ivan the Fourth and Alaafin Sango of Oyo Empire
    International Journal of Sciences: Basic and Applied Research (IJSBAR) ISSN 2307-4531 (Print & Online) http://gssrr.org/index.php?journal=JournalOfBasicAndApplied --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Comparative Study of Ivan the Fourth and Alaafin Sango of Oyo Empire Abimbola Damilola Waliyullahi* Post graduate student university of ibadan ibadan, Nigeria Abstract The reign of Ivan the 4th and the legendary Sango, 3rd Alaafin is of great importance to the historical world, Sango, a powerful king in Yoruba Land, known as a king of thunder because he spat fire from his mouth whenever he was angry. He ruled powerfully and successfully. According to a myth however, it was a defeat in a magical contest that led Sango to leave Oyo and hung. On the other side, I shall take a critical and careful look at the Ivan the IV or Ivan the Terrible as fondly called, tsar of Russia from 1530-1584. When he held sway, he established a tradition of absolute rule; he was ruthless and merciless following childhood abuse and repression, Ivan destroyed his rivals and claimed the throne of Tsardom. He beat back the last of the Mongols, provided some large territorial expansion, and centralized the bureaucracy. Ivan’s blood thirsty character and sardonic personality made him infamous in history as being a lunatic ruler whom the people called "Terrible.” This article examines a Comparative Study of Ivan the Fourth (Russia) and the legendary Alaafin Sango (Nigeria) relying on historical theory as a tool. Key words: Empire; Territory; Russian, Tsars; Yoruba; Ruthless; Brutal; Nupe; Oya; Oprichniki; Osun; Oyo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Corresponding author. 34 International Journal of Sciences: Basic and Applied Research (IJSBAR) (2016) Volume 27, No 2, pp 34-41 1.

LONDON ARCHIBALD CONSTABLE & CO., Ltd., 16, JAMES STREET, HAYMARKET, 1905- BRADBURY, AGNEW, & CO. LD., PRINTERS, LONDON AND TONBRIOGE.' MY MOTHER. INTRODUCTION. It will be my endeavour, in the following pages, to describe the social, ecclesiastical, and political conditions of Eastern Europe from 1613 to 1725, and trace the gradual transformation, during the seventeenth century, of the semi-mOpastic, semi-barbarous Tsardom of Moscovy into the modern Russian State. The emergence of the unlooked-for and unwelcome Empire of the Tsars in the Old World was an event not inferior in importance to the discovery of the unsuspected Continents of the New, and the manner of its advent was even stranger than the advent itself. Like all periods of sudden transition, the century which divides the age of Ivan the Great from the age of Peter the Great has its own peculiar interest, abounding, as it does, in singular contradictions and picturesque contrasts. Throughout this period. East and West, savagery and civilisation strive incessantly for the mastery, and sinister and colossal shapes> fit representatives of wildly contending, elemental forces, flit phantasmagorically across the dirty ways; of the twilight scene.

Unexpected EmotionsBy trekriderUnexpected emotions of wonder, anxiety and a strange sadness filled me as I ran deeper into the forest of this narrative. What do I have to do with these events of a century ago and more? Why do they strike me so personally? Perhaps it is because these events and the actors, from the most powerful rulers to the most innocent children, were key to the creation of much of the modern world. We in the West, and particularly in America, are taught little if anything about Russian history. Naturally we assume that the furthest East our consciousness needs to extends is the outermost reaches of the Catholic realms. But with the persistent tensions between America and Russia, clearly this assumption is wrong. We in the West have an obligation to inform ourselves of the Russian people and their long history, the better to understand the predicament in which we find ourselves. I have not yet read Massie's books, but based on my experience with histories and biographies in other fields I can confidently recommend Montefiore's work as a solid foundation on which to build understanding.

PD After his great victory at Kazan, in 1552, Ivan IV was referred to as Ivan Grozny - "Ivan the Terrible." His marriage to Anastasia was still strong. She was everything he had never had as a child and, more than anyone else, she was able to keep his cruelty in check. To celebrate the victory over Kazan, Ivan ordered that a church be built near the Kremlin. Architects began to formulate plans for the great cathedral now known as St. Basil’s. Life in the palace seemed good, but Anastasia (this was her chalice) was unwell. Something was making her ill and, in the summer of 1560, after a long illness, she died at the age of 25 (or 26). Always believing his mother was poisoned, Ivan was convinced his wife had suffered the same fate. The Tsar was absolutely inconsolable. Becoming increasingly unstable, he accused his nobles of murdering Anastasia. Beyond reach, Ivan suffered a severe mental collapse. Banging his head on the floor, in the presence of his court, he punished himself.

  • 517 the Rise of Michael the Archangel – the Time of Troubles, Part 6, the Election of Mikhail Romanov Delivers Russia from the Time of Troubles
    #517 The Rise of Michael the Archangel – The Time of Troubles, part 6, The Election of Mikhail Romanov delivers Russia from The Time of Troubles [This continues the story of The Time of Troubles.] Poland rules Russia. It was King Sigismund III of Poland who supported the first False Dmitri and the second False Dmitri. Polish troops entered Moscow in 1610 in defense of the second False Dmitri, but he was killed. In the meantime during that year, a group of seven boyars threw down Vasili Shuisky and ratified a treaty with the Polish king, inviting his son Ladislas IV to the Russian throne. The Poles ruled through a powerless council of boyars until 1612. In the meantime, King Sigismund III decided that he wanted to rule there himself (instead of having his son on the throne). He succeeded only in uniting the Russians against the Polish invaders, and Russian forces under Prince Dimitri Pozharsky finally retook Moscow in October 1612. Dmitry Pozharsky is asked to lead The Poles surrender the Moscow Kremlin the volunteer army against the Poles. to Prince Pozharsky in 1612. Painting by Vasily Savinsky (1882). Painting by Ernest Lissner. The Election of Michael Romanov. After the Poles were defeated, there was no one of royal birth to take the throne. In 1613, the Zemskii Sobor (a national council dominated by the boyars) unanimously elected as tsar 17-year-old Michael Romanov. The name Romanov had been taken from Roman Yuriev, the father of Anastasia Romanovna, who was the first wife of Ivan the Terrible. Michael Romanov was the grandnephew of Anastasia.

  • Anastasia Romanov : the Secret Notebook, Revision #1
    1 ANASTASIA ROMANOV: THE SECRET NOTEBOOK By Carolyn Meyer Revision #1 – January 8, 2014 Carolyn Meyer 100 Gold Ave. SW #602 Albuquerque, NM 87102 505-362-6201 2 Siberia, April 1918 I am Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova, age seventeen, and I am trying not to show how afraid I feel. Four days ago a string of peasant carts lined with filthy straw drove off through half- frozen mud and slush with Papa and Mama and my sister Marie. A handful of servants went with them, along with our own Dr. Botkin. They are being taken to Moscow, where Papa, once known to the world as Tsar Nicholas II, Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russias, will be put on trial by the evil men who have seized power. Our brother, Alexei, is too ill to travel, and that forced Mama to make a wrenching choice: to accompany Papa or to stay here in Tobolsk. In the end she decided to go, taking Marie and leaving my Olga and Tatiana and me here with Alexei. “We’ll send for you, and you’ll join us when Lyosha is well enough,” Papa said. His face was drawn and haggard, but he smiled so bravely that I cried, even though I said I wouldn’t. We watched them go. Four days, and so far there has been no word. We call ourselves OTMA, made up of our initials: Olga, Tatiana, Marie, and Anastasia. Olga and Tatiana, the two older ones, are the Big Pair, Marie and I, the Little Pair. I miss Marie awfully.

  • 510 the Rise of Michael the Archangel – the Rise of Michael Romanov
    #510 The Rise of Michael the Archangel – The Rise of Michael Romanov Daniel 12:1 (NIV) AT THAT TIME MICHAEL [the Archangel], the great prince who protects your people, WILL ARISE. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. In order to understand the broader picture of Daniel 12:1 and its historical/prophetic background, we now turn our attention from Mikhail Gorbachev and the end of the Soviet Union to another prominent Michael in the history of Russia, Mikhail (or Michael) Romanov. Mikhail Romanov was the first tsar of Russia’s Romanov Dynasty. Our short-term objectives will be to understand (a) how Mikhail Romanov fits with Michael the Archangel, and then (b) how Mikhail Romanov and Mikhail Gorbachev are paired together historically/prophetically. Romanov Dynasty. The Romanov Dynasty ruled Russia from 1613 until March 1917. The family was descended from Andrei Ivanovich Kobyla, a Muscovite boyar who lived in the first half of the 14th century. The name Romanov was taken from Roman Yuriev (d. 1543), the father of Anastasia Romanovna (d. 1560), the first wife of Tsar Ivan IV the Terrible. [Reference Unsealings #50 The Legs of Iron – Ivan the Terrible married Anastasia Romanov, whose name means Roman and #164 The World War I Second Ascension of America – The Double Rome Marriages: The Marriage of Ivan the Terrible to a Rome woman, and the Marriage of Woodrow Wilson to a Rome woman.] Michael Romanov (left), grandnephew of Anastasia, was elected tsar by a National Assembly in 1613; he was the first of the dynasty to rule Russia.
